Safety Guidelines
Eye Protection
Be sure to use all personal protective equipment to
ensure your own safety. To avoid eye injury, always wear protective glasses with side shields when using power tools. Also, make sure no one else can be injured by flying particles when using power tools.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
Fire Hazard
Personal injury or death can result from a
fire caused by flammable liquids or silicone sealants. Cleaners or solvents can be highly explosive, resulting in personal injury or even death, when not used properly. Clean up any flammable substance immediately. Sparks or open flames can cause flammable substances to ignite. DO NOT smoke while working on or near any flammable substance.
Solvents Hazard
Follow all manufacturer’s safety instructions for silicone
sealants and denatured alcohol. Alcohol vapors are both flammable and hazardous to breathe. Silicone vapors may irritate eyes and nose. Personal injury can result from improperly handling or use of products such as denatured alcohol. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe use of these products. Ventilate any work area before beginning to apply silicone sealants, cleaning agents, or solvents.
Fumes Hazard
The fumes from the silicone and solvents used
by the installer can be harmful if used in an unventilated room. Always work in a well-ventilated area. To keep the area well-ventilated, open windows and use exhaust fans. If adequate ventilation is not achievable or practical, use respiratory protective equipment.
Dust Hazard
When cutting or drilling the Swanstone product,
use a dust collection method which prevents dust particles from going into the air. Always work in a well­ventilated area. Always use an OSHA approved dust mask when cutting, drilling, or sanding Swanstone products.
Power Tool Hazard
To prevent personal injury or possible death,
always follow the electrical safety recommendations of the power tool’s manufacturer. Do not use power tools in an unsafe manner. Power tools should only be connected to a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFI).
Shock Hazard
Never use electric power tools around water,
condensation, or other liquids. Electric shock can cause severe burns, significant injuries, and even death. If an extension cord is required, always use an OSHA approved extension cord. Power cords should only be connected to a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFI).
Electrical Shock Hazard
Contacting live electrical wiring with power tools
or hand tools can cause serious injury or death. Make sure all related circuit breakers are turned OFF. Test for live circuits or wiring inside any wall where installation of the Swanstone product requires cutting into a wall.
Electrocution Hazard
Water and other liquids conduct electric current
and can create a short circuit, resulting in injury or death. Keep all liquids away from electrical cords and power tools. DO NOT create a short circuit between a source of electricity and a liquid by being in contact with both simultaneously.
