<br />Precautionary Notes
<br />TimberW Seriess shams are fiberglass, self-sealing asphalt shingles Because of the natural
<br />charaderisti ,cif the h' qualit w erprooftrtg material used, these shingles will be stiff in cold
<br />weathlx and flexible in fxzt weather.
<br />1. Bundles should not be dropped on edge nor should attempt be made to separate shingles by
<br />'breaking' over ridge or other bundles.
<br />2. Handle carefully. Shingles can easily be broken in cold wea w or their edges damaged in hot
<br />weather.
<br />3. All exposed materials must be of Class A type.
<br />4. Storage should be in a covered, ventilated area --maximum temperature 1101 (43°C.) Store
<br />on fiat surface and use weight equalization boards if pallets are to be double stacked.
