To make a claim under this warranty, the faulty product(s) must be sent or presented to either a local after sales service team of the manufacturer or an authorised RYOBI service centre listed on the following website https://uk.ryobitools.eu/header/service-and-support/service-agents/

Parts or products returned to the manufacturer under this warranty become the manufacturer’s property.
