Warranty

The equipment has been carefully tested both
mechanically and electrically prior to shipment.
It has also been verified, as far as possible, that
the equipment is in good working order. For a
period of 12 months (6 months if the equipment
operates day and night, even if only occasion­ally), beginning on the day the equipment is
ready to be shipped at our plant (in cases where
we undertake assembly and/or initial operation,
from the day of initial operation), we guarantee
good working of the equipment delivered and
we promise to repair or replace at will, as quickly
and reasonably as possible, any parts which
are proven to be faulty in design, material or
workmanship. If, during operation and within
the period of warranty, any discrepancy appears
between the equipment contracted for and the
one actually supplied by us, we shall bear the
costs incurred in repairing or replacing the faulty
parts at our plant. We shall supply and ship at
our expense "FOB factory" the replacement
material necessary for carrying out the repairs
under this warranty on the site. We shall pay
the salary and wages of our employees, but the
buyer shall pay for the travelling time, as well
as their transportation and out of pocket ex­penses.
Our liability is limited to direct damages.
Our warranty shall not cover replacements or
repairs which are due to normal wear and tear,
faulty or negligent maintenance, disregard of
operating instructions in this manual, overload­ing, use of unsuitable materials, faulty construc­tion of buildings, incorrect assembly work, faulty
electrical connections, acts of God, and any
other cause beyond our control.
Our "General Terms and Conditions of Sale",
of which the above text is an excerpt, are bind­ing for all warranty cases.

This document, its contents, and the technology described are strictly
confidential. It is provided for assistance to ELVO customers only. It
may not be copied, repro-duced or passed on to third parties with­out express, written permission from ELVO ELECTRONICS.

Dear customer

We thank you for selecting one of our ELVO
clean-o-point® soldering stations, the new
standard in soldering technology. The solder­ing stations answer the need for increased qual­ity control in the soldering process. With the
hundred thousands of clean-o-point® tip clean­ers sold in the past number of years all over the
world, satisfied customers urged us to integrate
this extraordinary tip cleaning system into these
new stations.
Please read the operating instructions carefully
to maximize the advantages of using your new
soldering station.

Responsibility for shipment

The moment the equipment is shipped from our
plant, the buyer assumes all risks regarding it,
in particular but not limited to the risk for dam­age, loss, theft or confiscation. We are liable
only for damages which can undeniably be
traced to gross negligence of our personnel.

Inspection of goods upon arrival

Remove packing material carefully and keep it
for possible storing or return of the unit.
After unpacking, check the equipment for pos­sible damage due to transportation. Should this
be the case, inform immediately both the for­warder and the carrier. The buyer must exam­ine the equipment within a reasonable period
of time and notify us immediately in writing of
any defects. Failing such notification the equip­ment is deemed to be accepted.
