Unifix® to work properly, the required expansion gap must be in place around the room’s
perimeter and extra flooring should be available for use in the repair. Enjoy your floor.
ATTN: INSTALLERS Caution: Wood Dust
Sawing, sanding and machining wood products can produce wood dust. Airborne wood
dust can cause respiratory, skin and eye irritation. The International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified wood dust as a nasal
carcinogen in humans.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Produces wood dust when cut. Wood dust is known to
the state of California to cause cancer.
Precautionary Measures: Power tools should be equipped with a dust collector. If high
dust levels are encountered use an appropriate NIOSH designated dust mask. Avoid dust
contact with skin and eyes. First Aid Measures in case of irritations: In case of irritation
flush eyes and skin with water for at least 15 minutes. For questions please contact
Technical Services at: 1-888-387-9882, option 1.
IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTICE FOR MINNESOTA RESIDENTS ONLY: THESE
BUILDING MATERIALS EMIT FORMALDEHYDE. EYE, NOSE, AND THROAT
IRRITATION, HEADACHE, NAUSEA AND A VARIETY OF ASTHMALIKE
SYMPTOMS, INCLUDING SHORTNESS OF BREATH, HAVE BEEN REPORTED AS
A RESULT OF FORMALDEHYDE EXPOSURE. ELDERLY PERSONS AND YOUNG
CHILDREN, AS WELL AS ANYONE WITH A HISTORY OF ASTHMA, ALLERGIES,
OR LUNG PROBLEMS, MAY BE AT GREATER RISK. RESEARCH IS CONTINUING
ON THE POSSIBLE LONG- TERM EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO FORMALDEHYDE.
REDUCED VENTILATION MAY ALLOW FORMALDEHYDE AND OTHER
CONTAMINANTS TO ACCUMULATE IN THE INDOOR AIR. HIGH INDOOR
TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY RAISE FORMALDEHYDE LEVELS. WHEN A
HOME IS TO BE LOCATED IN AREAS SUBJECT TO EXTREME SUMMER
TEMPERATURES, AN AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM CAN BE USED TO CONTROL
INDOOR TEMPERATURE LEVELS. OTHER MEANS OF CONTROLLED
MECHANICAL VENTILATION CAN BE USED TO REDUCE LEVELS OF
FORMALDEHYDE AND OTHER INDOOR AIR CONTAMINANTS. IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS REGARDING THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF FORMALDEHYDE,
CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR OR CALL LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
WARNING! DO NOT MECHANICALLY CHIP OR PULVERIZE EXISTING RESILIENT
FLOORING, BACKING, LINING FELT, ASPHALTIC “CUTBACK” ADHESIVES OR
OTHER ADHESIVES. PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED RESILIENT FLOORING MAY
CONTAIN EITHER ASBESTOS FIBERS OR CRYSTALLINE SILICA. THE
PRODUCTS IN THIS BOX DO NOT CONTAIN ASBESTOS.
Avoid creating dust. Inhalation of such dust is a cancer and respiratory tract hazard.
Smoking by individuals exposed to asbestos fibers greatly increases the risk of serious
bodily harm. Unless positively certain that the product is a non- asbestos containing
material, you must presume it contains asbestos. Regulations may require that the
material be tested to determine asbestos content and may govern the removal and
disposal of material. See current edition of the Resilient Floor Covering Institute (RFCI)
publication “Recommended Work Practices for Removal of Resilient Floor Coverings” for
detailed information and instructions on removing all resilient covering structures.
