Whenever you make a purchase of a product such as toaster, computer, game, television, vehicle, etc. the manufacturer is required to provide the purchaser with a booklet to cover the details of the product purchased. There are writers called "Technical Writers", who sit with the employees who have labored in putting the product together and actually write a manual (book/booklet) to describe the product, how to use it, detail its components and also provide warranties, date of purchase, etc. so that if you need to return the product for any reason, you have the information in the manual. The manual was your 'Bible' in the Insurance industry. Users such as other insurance companies that we wrote programs for would send us their 'changes' and we would have to make it happen. I loved that job and it paid extremely well.

It's the book that comes with whatever you bought that tells you how to use it. If whatever it is didn't come with one, and is on a CD, try opening the CD and looking for a .pdf or .doc file called User Manual, User Guide, or something like that.

user is the operator themselves
manual is the book describing how to use the machine, program, etc. (ex. lawn mower or windows office 2003 suite)
therefore, the book or pamphlet which is received with the stated lawn mower or program is the User's Manual
also called or referred to as the operator's manual
