I would go as far as to say that the instrument maker should be
obligated to supply one to the owner upon proof of ownership, but the
makers wouldn't want to be stuck with that responsibility.

Most manuals contain warnings about safety issues. Denying access to
those warnings could be contrary to Health and Safety laws.

Ha, I *like* it. That's the sort of stuff that a lawyer could
understand. Maybe they'd change their tune if they thought they might
be liable for withholding safety information from users.
