Swanstone STMK72-3662 - Installation - Manual (Page 10)

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.
Flat Panel
Square Tile or Subway Tile
Note: Precisely scribing and cutting the panel will provide a
clean 90 degree corner with no need for corner
molding.
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.
3. Place the wall panel, finished side facing up, on a flat
surface. Place pieces of masking tape over the area where
the saw contacts the Swanstone panel.
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. Measure the openings for the tub/shower faucet(s) and/or
shower head.
6. Transfer the measurements to the panel.
7. Cut clearance holes using a router, saber saw, or hole
saw. Drill or cut from the finished side of the panel. For
best results, when drilling, place a scrap of wood beneath
the hole to ensure a clean cut.
