- Page 39 WARRANTY SERVICE Instructions for Obtaining Warranty Repair Service or Aftermarket Non‐Warranty Repair Service: To arrange for CORE™ Outdoor Power product warranty or aftermarket repair service: 1. Before returning a non‐functioning GasLess™ Trimmer to a CORE™ Authorized Service Center for service, please first determine if the difficult is potentially due to a non‐functional Power Cell, or a non‐functional Power Cell charger, or a non‐functional cutting attachment accessory. To do such, first bring your GasLess™ Trimmer [with attached accessory], your Power Cell[s] and Power Cell charger to a local authorized CORE™ Outdoor Power products dealer, for inspection and determination as to whether it is your Power Cell or Power Cell charger, and / or the GasLess™ Trimmer that is not functioning properly. Do not ship your Power Cells to a local authorized dealer or to a CORE™ Authorized Service Center, as the Lithium‐ion Power Cells are restricted and regulated under Dangerous Goods Transport codes and require specialized protective packaging, marking, labeling, etc. to be safely and legally transported by commercial carriers. Note: The GasLess™ Trimmer will not operate properly, if: The Power Cell is discharged and / or dysfunctional, and / or; b. if the Power Cell charger is non‐functional so as to not be able to provide a recharge to a discharged but otherwise fully functional Power Cell. 2. Your local authorized CORE™ Outdoor Power products dealer should be able to readily assess which, if any, of the three CORE™ Outdoor Power GasLess™ Trimmer system’s components is non‐functional [that is, either: A) Your Power Cell: B) Your Power Cell charger: C) Your Gasless™ Trimmer or accessory]. Be sure to bring a copy of your Valid Proof of Original Purchase with you so as to allow the dealer to determine the applicability of your warranty coverage period. The original purchaser will be able to obtain a free replacement from the authorized dealer of a Power Cell, Power Cell charger, and / or a CORE™ accessory, if: ...
- Page 40 WARRANTY SERVICE The CORE™ Outdoor Power authorized dealer determines that there is a non‐functioning Power Cell, Power Cell charger, and / or CORE™ accessory. b. And that such non‐functional component is found to be as a result of a defect in material or workmanship as covered within the applicable terms and period of the limited warranty. The authorized dealer should be able to sell to you non‐warranty covered replacements of the Power Cell, Power Cell charger or CORE™ authorized cutting accessory components. If after first ruling out the prospect of a non‐functional or defective CORE™ Power Cell, Power Cell charger, or CORE™ accessory [as per above], the problem is thus determined to require service repair of the GasLess™ Trimmer tool, carefully package the GasLess™ Trimmer tool [with CORE™ accessory attached], using sufficient packaging materials, and place in sturdy outer boxes to prevent damage during transit for warranty service, or aftermarket non‐warranty repair at a CORE™ Outdoor Power Authorized Service Center. Again Note: Do NOT ship either functional or dysfunctional Power Cell(s) to a CORE™ Outdoor Power Authorized Service Center due to restrictive Dangerous Goods Transport regulations. Ship only the GasLess™ Trimmer tool [with accessory attached] for service to a CORE™ Outdoor Power Authorized Service Center as your local authorized CORE™ Outdoor Power products dealer should be able to satisfactorily resolve issues associated with the Power Cells, Power Cell chargers, or accessories. Packaging cartons used for shipping should be of a strong outer packaging and properly sealed. Complete the attached CORE™ Outdoor Power Factory Service request form provided below. Place the service request form within a separate envelope which envelope should be packaged with the product inside the outer shipment packaging. d. Attach a copy of the valid proof of original purchase [which ...
