• The warranty period is 12 months and commences on the date when the product was purchased. This date must be documented by an invoice or other proof of purchase. The warranty period is one year for products, batteries and chargers. This warranty applies only on new products.
• There is a possibility to extend the warranty period over the period described above using the registration on the www.milwaukeetool.eu website. The end user needs to register his/her newly-acquired tools online within 30 days the date of purchase. The end user may register for the extended warranty in his country of residence if listed on the online registration form where this option is valid. Furthermore, end users must give their consent to the storage of the data which is required to be enter online, and they must accept the terms and conditions. The registration certificates, which is sent out by e-mail, and the original invoice or other proof of purchase (receipt) showing the product and date of purchase will serve as proof of the extended warranty. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.
• The warranty covers all defects of the product for 12 months from the purchase date due to faults in materials or manufacturing.
• The warranty is limited to repair and/or replacement and does not include any other obligations including but not limited to incidental or consequential damages.

• This warranty does not apply to: o Any product not CE certified o Any damage caused by external influences (water, chemical, physical, shocks)
or foreign substances o Normal wear and tear o Inappropriate use, overloading of the tool o Components (parts and accessories) subject to natural and normal wear and
tear o Customer abuse
• A repair/replacement under this warranty is free of charge. It does not constitute an extension or a new start of the warranty period. Exchanged parts or tools become our property. In some countries delivery charges or postage will have to be paid by the sender.
• This warranty is valid in the European Community, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein, Turkey and Russia. Outside these areas, please contact your authorized dealer to determine if another warranty applies.

is prefixed with 4000. A drop-down box will appear showing you different versions of the
