Disposal
Do not throw the power tool in your household
waste! Dispose of machines, accessories and
packaging at an environmentally-responsible
recycling centre. Observe the valid national regu-
lations.
Warranty
Festool offers a 3 year limited warranty, one of
the strongest in the industry. This warranty is
valid on the pre-condition that the tool is used and
operated in compliance with the Festool operating
instructions. Festool warrants that the specified
tool will be free from defects in materials and
workmanship for a term of 3 years from the date
of purchase.
Conditions of 1 + 2 warranty
All customers receive a free extended limited
warranty (1 year + 2 years = 3 Years) on new Festool
power tools purchased from an authorized retailer.
Festool is responsible for all shipping costs during
the first year of the warranty. During the second
and third year of the warranty the customer is
responsible for shipping the tool to Festool. Festool
will pay for return shipping to the customer using
UPS Ground Service. All warranty service is valid
3 years from the date of purchase on your receipt
or invoice. Proof of purchase may be required.
Excluded from the coverage under this warranty
are: normal wear and tear, damages caused
by misuse, abuse, or neglect; damage caused
by anything other than defects in material and
workmanship. This warranty does not apply to
accessory items such as circular saw blades, drill
bits, router bits, jigsaw blades, sanding belts, and
grinding wheels. Operating a tool at a voltage
or frequency different from the tool's rating will
void the warranty. This includes the usage of the
tool in combination with a transformer. Festool
does not condone nor support the use of any non-
Festool engineered, designed, and manufactured
accessories or consumables with Festool products.
Use of any non-Festool products may affect
16
performance or void the warranty. Festool is not
responsible for any damages or losses incurred
and user assumes all risk and responsibility with
non-Festool derived products.
Also excluded are "wearing parts," such as carbon
brushes, lamellas of air tools, rubber collars and
seals, sanding discs and pads, and Festool gear
(hats and shirts).
The obligations of Festool in its sole discretion
under this warranty shall be limited to repair or
replacement or a refund of the purchase price
for any Festool portable power tool that is found
to have a defect in materials or workmanship
during the warranty period. FESTOOL SHALL
NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL,
INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES REGARDLESS
OF THE THEORY OF LAW ON WHICH THE CLAIM
IS BASED. ALL WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY STATE
LAW, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OR MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE HEREBY LIMITED TO
THE DURATION OF THREE YEARS.
Some states in the U.S. and some Canadian
provinces do not allow the limitations on how long
an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation
may not apply to you. This warranty gives you
specific legal rights, and you may also have other
rights that vary from state to state in the U.S. and
from province to province in Canada.
With the exception of any warranties implied
by state or province law as limited above, the
foregoing express limited warranty is exclusive
and in lieu of all other warranties, guarantees,
agreements, and similar obligations of Festool.
Festool makes no other warranty, express or
implied, for Festool portable power tools. This
warranty policy is only valid for tools that are
purchased in the US and Canada. Warranty
policies of other countries may vary when obtaining
warranty service outside the US and Canada. Some
countries do exclude warranty for products bought
outside their territory. Festool reserves the right to
reject the repair of any tool that is not part of the
US/Canada product line. No agent, representative,
distributor, dealer, or employee of Festool has
the authority to increase or otherwise change the
obligations or limitations of this warranty.
