sumer power tools will be free from defects in material or workmanship during personal use for a period of 

two (2) years from date of purchase or 500 hours of use; whichever comes first. Ninety days for all WEN 

products if the tool is used for professional or commercial use. Purchaser has 30 days from the date of 

purchase to report missing or damaged parts.

other conditions adversely affecting the Product or the component of the Product, whether by accident or 

intentionally, by persons other than Seller. To make a claim under this Limited Warranty, you must make

the Place of Purchase. Place of Purchase must be a direct vendor of Great Lakes Technologies, LLC. Pur-

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO ITEMS THAT WEAR OUT FROM REGULAR USAGE OVER 

TIME, INCLUDING BELTS, BRUSHES, BLADES, BATTERIES, ETC. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES SHALL BE 

LIMITED IN DURATION TO TWO (2) YEARS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE. SOME STATES IN THE U.S. AND 

SOME CANADIAN PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY 

LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

ING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LIABILITY FOR LOSS OF PROFITS) ARISING FROM THE SALE OR USE OF THIS 

PRODUCT. SOME STATES IN THE U.S. AND SOME CANADIAN PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLU-

SION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR 

EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER 

RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE IN THE U.S., PROVINCE TO PROVINCE IN CANADA AND 

FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY APPLIES ONLY TO ITEMS SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
