INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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 1-888-387-9881, option 3.
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.
THE PRODUCTS IN THIS BOX DO NOT CONTAIN ASBESTOS. WARNING! IF REMOVING EXISTING FLOORING, 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.
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 existing 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.
For detailed product specifications, please contact Technical Services at 888-387-9881, option 3.
For service under this warranty, please notify your retailer in writing. Be sure to describe the specific problem and to include a
copy of your invoice. Your retailer will take appropriate action, including notifying Quick•Step®, if necessary.
