Their after-sales service is notoriously a bit rubbish.
However it's worth a go sending them an email to ask if they can send you a PDF copy of the manual. You might have to nag them a few times but you might have some luck.
I'm assuming you've bought the lathe second hand.
If you haven't bought the lathe yet, I'd consider buying a lathe from a different source and giving Vevor a miss. Chinese mini-lathes all have their issues but many can be adjusted and fixed up to do decent work. The Vevor lathes on the other hand, seem to have more issues than most; that combined with poor support from Vevor makes them less than ideal.
Lathes.co.uk won't have anything BTW. That site is by and large for the older lathes (20 years or older, a lot older!). It's a great (if a bit clunky) website full of fascinating information. Worth a browse just for educational and entertainment purposes.
