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.
