Subject to the terms and conditions
below, Miller Electric Mfg. LLC, dba Hobart Welding Products,

new Hobart equipment sold after the effective date of this limited

Within the warranty periods listed below, Hobart/Miller will repair or
replace any warranted parts or components that fail due to such

fault and the troubleshooting steps taken to identify failed
components and the cause of their failure.
Hobart/Miller shall honor warranty claims on warranted equipment

EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL

Some US states do not allow limiting the duration of an implied
warranty or the exclusion of certain damages, so the above
limitations may not apply to you. This warranty provides specific
legal rights, and other rights may be available depending on your
state. In Canada, some provinces provide additional warranties or
remedies, and to the extent the law prohibits their waiver, the
limitations set out above may not apply. This Limited Warranty
provides specific legal rights, and other rights may be available,
but may vary by province.
