WARRANTY

GENERAL: Craftsman products are warranted to be free from defects in materials 
or workmanship for a specifi c time period as set-out below (the “Warranty Period”). 

Warranties extend to the original purchaser of a Craftsman product only.  Purchases

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

limited to: cosmetic components, belts, blades, blade adapters, bulbs, tires, fi lters, 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 identifi cation label will be disqualifi ed 
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. 

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

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, 
operation, maintenance, general upkeep and storage of the product.  Failure to comply 
with these requirements will void any applicable warranty.
