Safety
• Read and fully understand ALL manufacturer’s instructions before
beginning. Failure to follow proper installation instructions may result in
the denial of warranty claims for operational or performanceproblems.
• DO NOT work alone. Two or more people are required. Use safe
liftingtechniques.
• Use caution when handling glass. Broken or cracked glass can cause serious injury.
• Wear protective gear (e.g. safety glasses, gloves, ear protection, etc.).
• Operate hand/power tools safely and follow the manufacturer’s
operating instructions.
• Use caution when working at elevated heights.
• If disturbing existing paint, take proper precautions if lead paint is
suspected (commonly used before 1979). Your regional EPA
(www.epa.gov/lead) or Consumer Product Safety Commission ofces
provide information regarding regulations and lead protection.
Drilling, sawing, sanding or machining wood products
can expose you to wood dust, a substance known to
the State of California to cause cancer. Avoid inhaling
wood dust or use a dust mask or other safeguards
for personal protection. For more information, go to
