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
MAAX 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.
