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.
