7. Transfer the measurements onto the front surface of the

back panel.

Note: The back panel can be cut slightly smaller than the

opening because the side panels will cover any small

gap (less than 1/4 inch).

Cutting the side panel to precisely t the back wall is not

necessary if a corner molding, supplied in some kits, is

used. This corner molding will cover gaps up to

1/2 inch.

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.

8. Place pieces of masking tape over the area where the saw

contacts the nished surface of the panel.

9. 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

10. Dry t the back panel, and make any necessary

adjustments. Temporarily secure the back panel to the wall

in order to properly t the side panels.

DO NOT force a panel to t a bowed or curved wall as it may

break; furthermore, the resiliency of the panel can break the

silicone bond to the wall surface.

Side Panel (with tub or shower controls)

In some cases, side panels are designed with right and left-

hand sides. If the side 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.

Cutting the side panel to precisely t the back wall is

not necessary if a corner molding, supplied in

some kits, is used. This corner molding will cover

gaps up to 1/2 inch.

The SSIT-60-3 side panels also have integrated

trim as part of the panel. If these panels must be

cut to t the walls, cut the edge opposite of the

“trim” side.

Model SSIT-60-3 side panels can be notched so the integral

trim ts into the back panel. However, this is not required as

long as the corner molding will seal the joint below the integral

trim area.
