An essential operator manual template designed for all manufacturers, importers, and distributors who trade machinery within the UK to pass customs with no delays, be able to sell machinery within the UK, and decrease liability.
Do you want to import, trade and/or sell your machinery on the UK market with ease? Do you want to do this according to the legal requirements to avoid problems at customs or to decrease liability?
We have developed an operator manual template to make it happen. A lot quicker and easier than you ever imagined.
The machine operator manual template is an MS Word document which includes over 300 safety warnings, and contains all mandatory elements to create your own operator manual.
You can use the template to create an operator manual that complies with the UKCA marking requirements, the Machinery Regulations, BS ISO 20607, the BS IEC/IEEE 82079-1:2020 standard for User Instructions, and the ANSI Z535.6 for Safety Messages.
All our templates have a 14-day, no-reason-required guarantee.
So if you are not satisfied, for any reason, just let us know and we’ll refund your money.
As we truly believe our operator manual template will help you create better operator manuals, we don’t think it’ll come to that. But as soon as you have any doubts about whether our product is the right fit for you, put your mind at ease.
We will help you get the results you want, or we will give you your money back!
We have provided everything you’ll ever need to create operator manuals that are compliant to regulatory requirements. Trade with ease and worry no more about impending liabilities.
An operator manual’s function is to explain to the operator how a product or machinery can be used safely and correctly. The operator manual informs the user about risks that still persist, despite the adoption of measures for inherent safe design, safeguarding, and complementary protection.
Failure to warn the operator properly can make the manufacturer liable in case of any accidents. That’s why the duty to warn and provide instructions with the products is regulated and often mandatory.
This template contains all mandatory elements required by UKCA marking and other relevant UK product safety directives to create your own compliant machine operation manual for the UK market.
The Machinery Regulations give requirements on the content of the user instructions, called the Essential Requirements. The Machine Operator Manual Template contains all these mandatory elements that are placed in the right position, so you know exactly what to add and where to add it in order to create a compliant manual.
The BS ISO 20607 standard for Instruction Handbooks for machinery contains detailed requirements to comply with the requirements.
The BS IEC/IEEE 82079-1:2020 Preparation of instructions for use is an international standard that provides both general principles and detailed requirements for the design and formulation of all types of user instructions.
The standard has, just as the ISO 20607, been harmonised by the UK, which means that by applying the standard, you create the highest level of presumption of conformity with the Essential Requirements of the Regulations.
The Operator Manual Template contains all elements as provided by the 82079 that can be easily adjusted to your own needs. The table of contents of the User Manual Template is based on the content requirements as given by this internationally recognised standard.
The ISO 3864 standard specifies international standards for safety symbols, including the formatting of the DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION safety symbol panels.
The ANSI Z535.6 also describes the formatting of these, but also gives requirements on when to use which warning level, where to place safety messages throughout the manual, and how to use words like shall, could and may.
The Operator Manual Template has adopted the requirements from this standard, so you will be able to create compliant safety instructions.

“The factory manuals always need to be redone. This was a daunting task for us: we never knew where to begin and at the end we were not sure if the manual did comply. The User Manual Template provides us all relevant information so we can create compliant instructions and decrease our liability.”
