WARRANTY 

JET products carry a limited warranty which varies in duration based upon the product (MW = Metalworking, WW = 
Woodworking). 
 

 

 
WHAT IS COVERED? 

This warranty covers any defects in workmanship or materials subject to the exceptions stated below. Cutting tools, 
abrasives and other consumables are excluded from warranty coverage. 

WHO IS COVERED? 

This warranty covers only the initial purchaser of the product. 

WHAT IS THE PERIOD OF COVERAGE? 

The general JET warranty lasts for the time period specified in the product literature of each product. 

WHAT IS NOT COVERED? 

Five Year Warranties do not cover woodworking (WW) products used for commercial, industrial or educational purposes. 
Woodworking products with Five Year Warranties that are used for commercial, industrial or education purposes revert to a 
One Year Warranty. This warranty does not cover defects due directly or indirectly to misuse, abuse, negligence or 
accidents, normal wear-and-tear, improper repair or alterations, or lack of maintenance. 

HOW TO GET SERVICE 

The product or part must be returned for examination, postage prepaid, to a location designated by us. For the name of the 
location nearest you, please call 1-800-274-6848. 
You must provide proof of initial purchase date and an explanation of the complaint must accompany the merchandise. If 
our inspection discloses a defect, we will repair or replace the product, or refund the purchase price, at our option. We will 
return the repaired product or replacement at our expense unless it is determined by us that there is no defect, or that the 
defect resulted from causes not within the scope of our warranty in which case we will, at your direction, dispose of or 
return the product. In the event you choose to have the product returned, you will be responsible for the shipping and 
handling costs of the return.
