As a manufacturer Lincoln undertakes to support its product with supply of spare parts. Lincoln policy in the case of light to medium duty welding equipment is to provide
full parts support for the period of 10 years from last manufacture. In the case of heavy duty industrial and fully automatic equipment, Lincoln undertakes to provide full parts
support for a period of 15 years from last manufacture date of any model.
Lincoln recognises that it is totally bound by the policy of its suppliers with regard to purchase items, however, the above policy will apply to purchase items and components
and Lincoln practice is to take into its stock appropriate levels of inventory at the time it ceases to buy for current manufacturing to ensure its overall policy is followed. Where
possible, due to common usage or availability, Lincoln will continue to supply beyond the above periods, however, Lincoln will not undertake special manufacture outside
these guidelines unless a customer is willing to accept the appropriate set up charge where tooling has been retained, and the delivery as dictated by manufacturing demand.
