How state law relates to this warranty: This
limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and

maintenance items such as lubricants, filters, blade
sharpening and tune-ups, or adjustments such as
brake adjustments, clutch adjustments or deck
adjustments. Nor does this warranty cover normal

exposure.
