Installation Instructions

Any cutout for accessories should have rounded corners (sharp
corners can promote stress cracks).
8. Dry t the panel, and make any necessary adjustments.
Side Panel (without tub or shower controls)
If the panel does not require cutting to size, proceed to the next
section.
Note: On SSIT-60-3, subway tile, and square tile panels, the
side panels are marked with labels in the top,
right-hand or left-hand corner of the panel. The edge
closest to the label is the outside nished edge
and should not be cut.
1. Place the panel on top of the tub and slide it against the
back wall panel.
2. Scribe (mark) the panel, as shown. If the panel is wider than
the wall, take this width into consideration when scribing the
panel.
Note: Precisely scribing and cutting the panel will
provide a clean 90 degree corner with no need
for corner molding.
3. Place the wall panel, nished side facing up, on a at
surface. Place pieces of masking tape over the area where
the saw contacts the Swanstone panel.
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. To keep the area well-
ventilated, open windows and use exhaust fans. Always
use an OSHA approved dust mask when cutting, drilling,
or sanding Swanstone products.
4. Cut the panel using a circular saw with a 60-80 tooth
carbide blade or a saber saw with a bi-metal blade (14 teeth
per inch).
5. Dry t the panel, and make any necessary adjustments.
