cut or repaired will be rejected. 

 
1.07.  Machines must be repaired immediately a problem arises. Continued use of the machine after a

Ltd cannot be held liable, and may have safety implications. 

 
1.08.  Except as provided herein, no employee, agent, dealer or other person is authorised to give any

claim, proof of the service work being carried out may be required. 
 

NB Warranty cover will be invalid if any non-genuine parts have been fitted or used. Use of non-genuine 

parts may seriously affect the machine’s performance and safety. Spearhead Machinery Ltd cannot be 

held responsible for any failures or safety implications that arise due to the use of non-genuine parts.
