WARNING
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. 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
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, 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.
Dust Hazard
When cutting or drilling the MAAX 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
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.
Grab Bars
It is recommended that the bathtub walls be equipped
with support grab bars that comply with the most
recent edition of ANSI-A117.1 requirements. Grab bars must
be anchored to structural support (wall studs) behind the
MAAX wall panels. Do not rely on the panels only for grab bar
support!
