Effective January 2014 
PowerBoss Made Simple Industrial Limited Warranty 

Minuteman International owner of PowerBoss warrants to the original purchaser/user that the product is free from defects in workmanship and materials 
under  normal  use.  PowerBoss  will,  at  its  option,  repair  or  replace  without  charge,  parts  that  fail  under  normal  use  and  service  when  operated  and 
maintained in accordance with the applicable operation and instruction manuals. All warranty claims must be submitted through and approved by factory 
authorized repair stations. 

This warranty does not apply to normal wear, or to items whose life is dependent on their use and care. Parts not manufactured by PowerBoss are covered by and 
subject  to  the  warranties  and/or  guarantees  of  their  manufacturers.  Please  contact  Minuteman  International  for  procedures  in  warranty  claims  against  these 
manufacturers. 

Special  warning  to  purchaser

  --  Use  of  replacement  parts  not  manufactured  by  PowerBoss  or  its  designated  licensees,  will  void  all  warranties 

expressed or implied. A potential health hazard exits without original equipment replacement.  

All warranted items become the sole property of Minuteman International or PowerBoss or its original manufacturer, whichever the case may be. 

PowerBoss disclaims any implied  warranty, including the  warranty of merchantability and the  warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. PowerBoss 
assumes no responsibility for any special, incidental or consequential damages. 

This limited warranty is applicable only in the U.S.A. and Canada, and is extended only to the original user/purchaser of this product. Customers outside 
the U.S.A. and Canada should contact their local distributor for export warranty policies. PowerBoss is not responsible for costs or repairs performed by 
persons other than those specifically authorized by PowerBoss. This warranty does not apply to damage from transportation, alterations by unauthorized 
persons,  misuse  or  abuse  of  the  equipment,  use  of  non-compatible  chemicals,  or  damage  to  property,  or  loss  of  income  due  to  malfunctions  of  the 
product. If a difficulty develops with this machine, you should contact the dealer from whom it was purchased. 

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights, which vary from state to state. Some states do not allow the exclusion or 
limitation of special, incidental or consequential damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above exclusions and limitations 
may not apply to you.
