WARNING
IMPORTANT NOTICE
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.
