Personal Protection

 

Be sure to use all personal protective 

equipment, such as sturdy work boots, 

preferably with steel toes, gloves, and hard hat, if necessary, 

to ensure your own safety. To prevent possible damage to 

your hearing, always wear ear protection, such as earmuffs or 

earplugs, when working around power tools.

Cutting Hazard

 

The installation of the Swanstone product may require 

using power tools. Keep hands away from the cutting 

edge of any tool used in the installation of our product. Placing 

fingers in or around the cutting blades could result in serious 

personal injury.

Sharp Edge Hazard

 

After cutting the edge of a Swanstone drop-in vanity 

top, it can be sharp. Wear protective gloves to prevent 

personal injury.

Room Temperature

 

Allow the Swanstone sink and silicone sealants 

to adjust to room temperature for at least six 

hours before installation. The product should not be installed at 

temperatures below 65°F. 

WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation 

which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or 

death.

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.

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 well-

ventilated 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.
