GUARANTEE
In addition to any statutory rights resulting from the purchase, this product is covered by a guarantee as stated below.
1. The guarantee period is 24 months for consumers and commences on the date when the product was purchased.
This date has to be documented by an invoice or other proof of purchase. The product is designed and dedicated to
consumer and private use only. So there is no guarantee provided in case of professional or commercial use.
2. There is, in some cases (i.e. promotion, range of tools), a possibility to extend the warranty period over the period
described above using the registration on the www.ryobitools.eu website. The eligibility of the tool is clearly displayed
in stores and/or on packaging. The end user needs to register his/her newly-acquired tools online within 8 days from
the date of purchase. The end user may register for the extended warranty in his country of residence if listed on the
online registration form where this option is valid. Furthermore, end users must give their consent to the storage of the
data which are required to enter online and they have to accept the terms and conditions. The registration confirmation
receipt, which is sent out by e-mail, and the original invoice showing the date of purchase will serve as proof of the
extended warranty. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.
3. The guarantee covers all defects of the product during the warranty period due to defaults in workmanship or material
at the purchase date. The guarantee is limited to repair and/or replacement and does not include any other obligations
including but not limited to incidental or consequential damages. The warranty is not valid if the product has been
misused, used contrary to the instruction manual, or being incorrectly connected. This guarantee does not apply to:
– any damage to the product that is the result of improper maintenance
– any product that has been altered or modified
– any product where original identification (trade mark, serial number) markings have been defaced, altered or
removed

– any product used with inappropriate fuel mixture (fuel, oil, percentage of oil)
– any damage caused by external influences (chemical, physical, shocks) or foreign substances
– normal wear and tear of spare parts

4. For servicing, the product must be sent or presented to a RYOBI authorized service station listed for each country in the
following list of service station addresses. In some countries your local RYOBI dealer undertakes to send the product
to the RYOBI service organisation. When sending a product to a RYOBI service station, the product should be safely
packed without any dangerous contents such as petrol, marked with sender’s address and accompanied by a short
description of the fault.
5. A repair/replacement under this guarantee is free of charge. It does not constitute an extension or a new start of the
guarantee period. Exchanged parts or tools become our property. In some countries delivery charges or postage will
have to be paid by the sender.
6. This guarantee is valid in the European Community, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein, Turkey and Russia.
Outside these areas, please contact your authorized RYOBI dealer to determine if another warranty applies.
