or warranty regarding the safe use of the Product in

General

Hypertherm, Inc. warrants that its Products shall be free
from defects in materials and workmanship, if
Hypertherm is notified of a defect (i) with respect to the
power supply within a period of two (2) years from the
date of its delivery to you, with the exception of

warranties, express, implied, statutory, or otherwise

warranties or conditions of quality or of

offer different or additional warranties, but Distributors/
OEMs are not authorized to give any additional warranty
protection to you or make any representation to you

Certification test marks

Certified products are identified by one or more
certification test marks from accredited testing
laboratories. The certification test marks are located
on or near the data plate. Each certification test mark
means that the product and its safety-critical
components conform to the relevant national safety
standards as reviewed by that testing laboratory.
Hypertherm places a certification test mark on its
products only after that product is manufactured with
safety-critical components that have been authorized
by the accredited testing laboratory.

Once the product has left the Hypertherm factory, the
certification test marks are invalidated if any of the
following occurs:

• The product is significantly modified in a manner that

creates a hazard or non-conformance.

• Safety-critical components are replaced with

unauthorized spare parts.

• Any unauthorized assembly or accessory that uses or

generates a hazardous voltage is added.

• There is any tampering with a safety circuit or other

feature that is designed into the product as part of the
certification.

CE marking constitutes a manufacturer’s declaration of
conformity to applicable European directives and
standards. Only those versions of Hypertherm products
with a CE Marking located on or near the data plate
have been tested for compliance with the European Low
Voltage Directive and the European EMC Directive.
EMC filters needed to comply with the European EMC
Directive are incorporated within versions of the power
supply with a CE Marking.

Patent indemnity

Except only in cases of products not manufactured by
Hypertherm or manufactured by a person other than
Hypertherm not in strict conformity with Hypertherm’s
specifications and in cases of designs, processes,
formulae, or combinations not developed or purported to
be developed by Hypertherm, Hypertherm will defend or
settle, at its own expense, any suit or proceeding
brought against you alleging that the use of the
Hypertherm product, alone and not in combination with
any other product not supplied by Hypertherm, infringes
any patent of any third party. You shall notify Hypertherm
promptly upon learning of any action or threatened
