Store ﬂat and keep dry and covered prior

to installation. Installing siding wet or

saturated may result in shrinkage at butt

joints. Carry planks on edge. Protect

edges and corners from breakage. James

caused by improper storage and handling

of the product.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS - PRIMED & COLORPLUS

OUTDOORS

1. Position cutting station so that wind will blow dust away from user

and others in working area.

2. Use one of the following methods:

a. Best: i. Score and snap

ii. Shears (manual, electric or pneumatic)

b. Better: i. Dust reducing circular saw equipped with a

HardieBlade

saw blade and HEPA vacuum extraction

c. Good: i. Dust reducing circular saw with a HardieBlade saw

blade (only use for low to moderate cutting)

INDOORS

1. Cut only using score and snap, or shears (manual, electric or pneumatic).

2. Position cutting station in well-ventilated area

- NEVER use a power saw indoors

- NEVER use a circular saw blade that does not carry the HardieBlade saw blade trademark

- NEVER dry sweep – Use wet suppression or HEPA Vacuum

Important Note: For maximum protection (lowest respirable dust production), James Hardie recommends always using “Best”-level cutting methods where feasible.

NIOSH-approved respirators can be used in conjunction with above cutting practices to further reduce dust exposures. Additional exposure information is available

at www.jameshardie.com to help you determine the most appropriate cutting method for your job requirements. If concern still exists about exposure levels or you

do not comply with the above practices, you should always consult a qualiﬁed industrial hygienist or contact James Hardie for further information.

IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the drip edge, extra care should be taken when removing planks from the pallet, while handling, and

when installing with a lap gauge. Please see additional handling requirements on page 4.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:

• HardiePlank

lap siding can be installed over braced wood or steel studs spaced a maximum of 24" o.c. or directly to minimum 7/16" thick OSB

sheathing. See General Fastening Requirements. Irregularities in framing and sheathing can mirror through the ﬁnished application.

• Information on installing James Hardie products over foam can be located in JH Tech Bulletin 19 at www. jamehardie.com

• A water-resistive barrier is required in accordance with local building code requirements. The water-resistive barrier must be appropriately installed with penetration and

junction ﬂashing in accordance with local building code requirements. James Hardie will assume no responsibility for water inﬁltration. James Hardie does manufacture

HardieWrap

Weather Barrier, a non-woven non-perforated housewrap¹, which complies with building code requirements.

• When installing James Hardie products all clearance details in ﬁgs. 3-14

must be followed.

• Adjacent ﬁnished grade must slope away from the building in accordance with local

building codes - typically a minimum of 6" in the ﬁrst 10'.

• Do not use HardiePlank lap siding in Fascia or Trim applications.

• Do not install James Hardie products, such that they may remain in contact with standing water.

• HardiePlank lap siding may be installed on ﬂat vertical wall applications only.

• DO NOT use stain, oil/alkyd base paint, or powder coating on James Hardie

Products.

• For larger projects, including commercial and multi-family projects, where the span of the wall

is signiﬁcant in length, the designer and/or architect should take into consideration the

coefﬁcient of thermal expansion and moisture movement of the product in their design. These

values can be found in the Technical Bulletin “Expansion Characteristics of James Hardie

Siding Products” at www.JamesHardie.com.

WARNING: AVOID BREATHING SILICA DUST

James Hardie

products contain respirable crystalline silica, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and is considered by IARC and NIOSH to be a cause of cancer from some occupational

sources. Breathing excessive amounts of respirable silica dust can also cause a disabling and potentially fatal lung disease called silicosis, and has been linked with other diseases. Some studies suggest

smoking may increase these risks. During installation or handling: (1) work in outdoor areas with ample ventilation; (2) use ﬁber cement shears for cutting or, where not feasible, use a HardieBlade saw blade

and dust-reducing circular saw attached to a HEPA vacuum; (3) warn others in the immediate area; (4) wear a properly-ﬁtted, NIOSH-approved dust mask or respirator (e.g. N-95) in accordance with applicable

government regulations and manufacturer instructions to further limit respirable silica exposures. During clean-up, use HEPA vacuums or wet cleanup methods - never dry sweep. For further information, refer

to our installation instructions and Material Safety Data Sheet available at www.jameshardie.com or by calling 1-800-9HARDIE (1-800-942-7343). FAILURE TO ADHERE TO OUR WARNINGS, MSDS, AND

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
