WARRANTY STATEMENT
General: Craftsman products are warranted to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a specific time period as set-out below (the
“Warranty Period”). Warranties extend to the original purchaser of a Craftsman product only. Purchases made through an online auction or
through any website other than www.sears.ca are excluded. The relevant Warranty Period commences on the original date of purchase. Within
this period, Sears Canada, Inc. will, at its sole option, repair or replace any products or components which fail in normal use. Such repairs or
replacement will be made at no charge to the customer for parts or labor, provided that the customer shall be responsible for any transportation
cost.
Exclusions: This warranty does not cover failures due to normal wear, abuse, misuse, neglect (including but not limited to the use of stale fuel,
dirt, abrasives, moisture, rust, corrosion, or any adverse reaction due to improper storage or use habits), improper maintenance or failure to follow
maintenance guidelines and/or instructions, failure to operate the product in accordance with the owner’s manual or any additional instructions or
information provided at the time of purchase or in subsequent communications with the original purchaser, accident or unauthorized alterations or
repairs made or attempted by others. Also excluded from warranty coverage – except as provided below - are the following: maintenance, adjust-
ments, components subject to wear including but not limited to: cosmetic components, belts, blades, blade adapters, bulbs, tires, filters, guide
bars, lubricants, seats, grips, recoil assy’s, saw chains and bars, trimmer lines and spools, spark plugs, starter ropers and tines, and discoloration
resulting from ultraviolet light. Any product missing the model and/or serial number identification label will be disqualified from coverage under
this warranty.

Disclaimers: THE WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES CONTAINED HEREIN ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,
WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN (OTHER THAN AS STATED HEREIN), AND WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, WHICH MAY VARY FROM PROVINCE TO PROVINCE.
IN NO EVENT SHALL SEARS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER
RESULTING FROM THE USE, MISUSE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT OR FROM DEFECTS IN THE PRODUCT. THE EXCLUSIONS
IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL NOT APPLY IN JURISDICATIONS WHERE APPLICABLE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE EXCLUSION OF
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL NOT APPLY, BUT THE REMAINING
PROVISIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT SHALL REMAIN VALID.
Sears retains the exclusive right to repair or replace the product or offer a full refund of the purchase price at its sole discretion. SUCH REMEDY
SHALL BE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY.
Customer Responsibilities: In additional to complying with all suggested maintenance guidelines and instructions, customers’ obligations shall
include but shall not be limited to: operating the product in accordance with the owner’s manual or any additional instructions or information
provided at the time of purchase or in subsequent communications to the purchaser from time to time, exhibit reasonable care in the use, opera-
tion, maintenance, general upkeep and storage of the product. Failure to comply with these requirements will void any applicable warranty.
List of Applicable Warranty Periods: The following list contains the applicable Warranty Period for your Craftsman product and is based on a
combination of the type of product or component and the intended and actual use of the product or component:
1. 90 days: Craftsman products intended for use or actually used for commercial, institutional, professional or income-producing purposes
2. 2 years: Craftsman riding lawn mowers, yard and garden tractors, walk behind mowers, tillers, brush cutters, snow blowers, handheld blowers,
backpack blowers, hedge trimmers and electrical products for noncommercial, nonprofessional, non-institutional, or non-income-producing
use, except for those components which are part of engine systems manufactured by third party engine manufacturers for which the purchase
has received an separate warranty with product information supplied at the time of purchase.
3. 1 year: Craftsman power cutters, stump grinders, pole pruners, gas chain saws, electric chain saws, trimmer attachments, baggers and pole
saws for noncommercial, nonprofessional, non-institutional, or non-income-producing use.
4. 90 days: All defective batteries, which will be replaced during this 90-day Warranty Period.
5. 60 days: Additional Warranty Period of 60 days will apply to adjustments and worn products or components BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE

but are not limited to: belts, blades, tires, spark plugs, air filters, chains, shear bolts, skid plates, scraper bars, drift cutters, ropes, tines,
collection bags and pulleys.
As the Warranty Period runs from the date of purchase and NOT from the date that a product is delivered, opened, assembled or first used,
please ensure during this time period that your product or component has been assembled and tested for correction operation regardless of
when you intend to actually use it. Claims made after the Warranty Period has expired will not be honored.
Proof of Purchase/Documentation: Warranty coverage is conditioned upon the original purchaser furnishing Sears Canada or its authorized third
party service provider if applicable, with the original sales receipt or other adequate written proof of the original purchase date and identification
of the product. In the event that the original purchaser is unable to provide a company of the original sales receipt, Sears Canada Inc. reserves
the right to determine in its sole discretion what other written proof of the original purchase date and identification of the product is acceptable.
