Limited Warranty

WMH Tool Group (including JET, Performax, Powermatic and Wilton brands) makes every effort to assure that its products meet high quality and durability standards and warrants to the original retail consumer/purchaser of our products that each product be free from defects in materials and workmanship as follows: 1 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY ON ALL PRODUCTS UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE. This warranty does not apply to defects due directly or indirectly to misuse, abuse, negligence or accidents, normal wear-and-tear, repair or alterations outside our facilities, or to a lack of maintenance.

WMH TOOL GROUP LIMITS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES TO THE PERIOD SPECIFIED ABOVE, FROM THE DATE THE PRODUCT WAS PURCHASED AT RETAIL. EXCEPT AS STATED HEREIN, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS ARE EXCLUDED. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG THE IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. WMH TOOL GROUP SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE FOR DEATH, INJURIES TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY, OR FOR INCIDENTAL, CONTINGENT, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE OF OUR PRODUCTS. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

To take advantage of this warranty, the product or part must be returned for examination, postage prepaid, to an Authorized Repair Station designated by our office. Proof of purchase date and an explanation of the complaint must accompany the merchandise. If our inspection discloses a defect, WMH Tool Group will either repair or replace the product, or refund the purchase price if we cannot readily and quickly provide a repair or replacement, if you are willing to accept a refund. WMH Tool Group will return repaired product or replacement at our expense, but if it is determined there is no defect, or that the defect resulted from causes not within the scope of our warranty, then the user must bear the cost of storing and returning the product. This warranty gives you specific legal rights; you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.

WMH Tool Group sells through distributors only. WMH Tool Group reserves the right to effect at any time, without prior notice, those alterations to parts, fittings, and accessory equipment which they may deem necessary for any reason whatsoever.

WARNING

Read and understand owner’s manual before operating pen lathe.

This lathe is designed to turn wood or wood-like products only. Working with other materials could result in fire, injury, or damage to the workpiece.

Tighten all locks before operating.

Remove loose wrenches, adjusting tools, cleaning rags from the tool before turning it on.

Do not use tool in a damp or wet location, or expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

Don’t force the tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersize cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For runs up to 25 feet, use an 18 AWG or larger gauge cord.

Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

Always use safety glasses. (Normal eyeglasses are only impact resistant; they are NOT safety glasses.) Also use face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.

Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.

Disconnect tool before servicing or when changing accessories.

Do not operate the tool while under the influence of drugs or acohol.

Health hazards. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

*Lead from lead-based paint.

*Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.

*Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
