Craftsman Limited Warranty
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. Pur-
chases made through an online auction or through any website other than www.sears.ca are excluded. The relevant War-
ranty 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 prod-
uct 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 at-
tempted by others. Also excluded from warranty coverage - except as provided below - are the following: maintenance,
adjustments, components subject to wear including but not limited to: cosmetic components, belts, blades, blade adapters,
bulbs, tires, filters, guide bars, lubricants, seats, grips, recoil assemblies, saw chains and bars, trimmer lines and spools,
spark plugs, starter topers 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.
Repairs: Repairs have a 90 day warranty. If the defective product is still within the Warranty Period, then the new warranty
is 90 days from the date of repair or to the end of the original Warranty Period, whichever period is longer.
