WMH Tool Group Warranty 

The WMH Tool Group (including Performax, Wilton and Powermatic brands) makes every effort to 
assure that its products meet high quality and durability standards and warrants to the original retail 
consumer/purchaser of our products that each product be free from defects in materials and 
workmanship as follow:  1 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY ON ALL PRODUCTS UNLESS SPECIFIED 
OTHERWISE.  This Warranty does not apply to defects due directly or indirectly to misuse, abuse, 
negligence or accidents, normal wear-and-tear, repair or alterations outside our facilities, or to a lack of 
maintenance. 
 
THE WMH TOOL GROUP LIMITS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES TO THE PERIOD SPECIFIED ABOVE, 
FROM THE DATE THE PRODUCT WAS PURCHASED AT RETAIL.  EXCEPT AS STATED HEREIN, 
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS ARE EXCLUDED.  SOME 
STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG THE IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO 
THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.  THE WMH TOOL GROUP SHALL IN NO 
EVENT BE LIABLE FOR DEATH, INJURIES TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY, OR FOR INCIDENTAL, 
CONTINGENT, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE OF OUR 
PRODUCTS.  SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL 
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY 
TO YOU. 
 
To take advantage of this warranty, the product or part must be returned for examination, postage 
prepaid, to an Authorized Repair Station designated by our office.  Proof of purchase date and an 
explanation of the complaint must accompany the merchandise.  If our inspection discloses a defect, we 
will either repair or replace the product, or refund the purchase price if we cannot readily and quickly 
provide a repair or replacement, if you are willing to accept a refund.  We will return repaired product or 
replacement at WMH Tool Group’s expense, but if it is determined there is no defect, or that the defect 
resulted from causes not within the scope of WMH Tool Group’s  warranty, then the user must bear the 
cost of storing and returning the product.  This warranty gives you specific legal rights; you may also 
have other rights which vary from state to state. 
 
The WMH Tool Group sells through distributors only.  Members of the WMH Tool Group reserve the 
right to effect at any time, without prior notice, those alterations to parts, fittings, and accessory 
equipment which they may deem necessary for any reason whatsoever.
