取扱説明書 or else ユーザガイド


Explanation:
I think Yuki-san says it right, and basicaly the same thing, but I may conventionally use some other versions of translations just to pick up for your reference. As far as I'm aware, these are some of the examples I have come across at times in real instances especially of software manuals, that is, User Guides.

It depends which is better, but User Guide is literally ユーザガイド or else ユーザーガイド, put it straight. 取扱説明書 is a kind of usual term used to refer to any kinds of manual documents.

Just HTH
