The Force respirators and filter/cartridges are designed and tested to meet the requirements of EN140:1998, EN143:2000+A1:2006, and EN14387:2004+A1:2008. The Force respirators and filter/cartridges are for use as a respiratory protective device, except in situations where escape apparatus or diving apparatus should be used or situations where there is a risk of oxygen deficiency. The Forces respirators and filter/cartridges will perform as designed only if used and maintained in accordance with the user Instructions provided by the manufacturer. Available in 4 sizes, F8-810 (S), F8-820 (M), F8-830(L)& F8-840 (SW).
WARNINGS TO USER: 1. Follow all instructions and warnings on the use of this respirator and wear during all times of exposure. Failure to do so will reduce respirator effectiveness, wearer protection and may result in sickness or death. 2. The user must first be trained by the employer in proper respirator use, in accordance with applicable safety and health standards, for the contaminant and exposure level in the assigned work area. A written Respiratory Training Program must be in place and followed by each user before first use. 3. The vapours, gases, dusts, mists, fumes and other contaminants which can be dangerous to your health indude those which you cannot see, taste, or smell. This respirator must only be used for contaminants with good warning properties, i.e., smell, taste or irritation. 4. JSP respirators, when property fitted and used as part of a comprehensive respiratory protection program, may reduce wearer exposure to some airborne hazards, but not all. 5. Check with your supervisor for the appropriate filter/cartridges for the contaminants in your work area. 6. This respirator must be fit tested. If you cannot obtain a proper fit, do not use the respirator and do not enter the risk area. Fit check your respirator each time before you enter and periodically while wearing the respirator in the contaminated area. 7. Do not remove the mask from the face until you have left the contaminated area. 8. It is unlikely that the requirements for leakage will be achieved if facial hair passes under the face seal. Gaps in the face seal due to facial hair or jewellery could result in the wearer breathing contaminants which may result in sickness or death. 9. Ensure that any other PPE worn does not interfere with the fitting of the respirator. 10. Dispose of respirator as hazardous waste in accordance with your employer’s directions. 11. Use other personal protective equipment, as directed by your employer. Where appropriate use protective gloves when handling or removing respirator and dispose of respirator and then gloves in accordance with your employer’s directions. 12. Immediately leave work area and change the respirator and/or filter/cartridge if breathing becomes difficult, dizziness or other distress occurs, respirator is damaged, or you sense irritation, smell or taste contaminates in the work area. As required by European Health and Safety requirements the user is advised that when in contact with the wearers skin, susceptible individuals may experience an allergic reaction, if this is the case, the wearer should leave the hazard area, remove the respirator and seek medical advice.
DO NOT USE: 1. Where the air quality or concentrations of contaminants are unknown, or are immediately dangerous to life or health, or exceed the maximum use concentration. 2. Against gases or vapours with poor waming properties or those which generate high heats of reaction, or paint sprays containing isocyanates. 3. For protection when sandblasting. 4. For chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear (CBRN) hazards. 5. In oxygen deficient (below 19% volume) or oxygen enriched (above 25% volume) atmospheres. 6. For firefighting or work with open flame or molten metal when ignition of filter/cartridges may cause toxic fumes. 7. The respirator and filter/cartridges in explosive atmospheres. 8. The respirator and filter/cartridges for protection against contaminates not covered by the filter/cartridge labelling. 9. Against contaminates that may irritate, bum or penetrate the skin or eyes.
LIMITATIONS: Respirators may reduce but do not eliminate wearer exposure to airborne hazards or the risk of contracting any disease or infection. Only use this respirator as part of a comprehensive respiratory protection program. You will receive no respiratory protection if this respirator is not fitted and worn correctly. Additionally, potentially hazardous particles, including infectious agents, smaller than the particle sizes used in certification testing are likely to exist in certain environments. The size and potential hazards of partides and vapours that may be present in the environment should be determined to ensure appropriate respiratory protection is available. JSP respirators should not be used by children.
FILTERICARTRIDGES: Filter/cartridges can be filled to Force8 & Force10 respirators. Two filter/cartridges of the same type should be used and changed at the same time. Fitting to facepiece – Before assembling filter/cartridges to the facepiece, inspect the facepiece sealing surface to make sure it is dean and undamaged. To attach the filterlcartridge to the facepiece, align the arrow on the filter/cartridge (see image 1) with the arrow on the facepiece (see image 2), push filter/cartridge into mask opening (see image 3) and firmly turn clockwise until the filter/cartridge is locked into position and is unable to turn any further (see image 4). Check to see that it is seated property, both on the inside and outside and flush against the facepiece. Check the exhalation diaphragms for dirt or damage and see that they are property seated.

CHECKS PRIOR TO USE

Inspect your respirator before and after wearing. Do not wear, and return to your supervisor if:

1. Head straps are torn, cut, or have lost elasticity.
2. **** Buckles or head cradle are missing, damaged or broken.
3. **** Facepiece is cracked, torn, distorted, dirty, or has holes.
4. Inhalation/Exhalation diaphragms are missing, tom, damaged, or not properly seated.
5. Filter/cartridges are at the end of their service life, blocked, cracked, damaged, or not property seated.
6. Any other plastic part is cracked, distorted, or damaged.
7. Users must follow instructions each time respirator is worn.
8. **** The respirator should be fit tested before use.
9. Do not wear with any facial hair, such as beards, or any other facial features which may prevent a proper fit.
10. If you cannot obtain a proper fit, do not enter the contaminated area and see your supervisor.

DONNING — PUTTING ON: To ensure a comfortable and secure fit of the mask onto the face please do the following:

1. Remove rigid faceseal protective piece from Forces 8 before use.
2. Check that elastic is not twisted and that the elastic is securely held into all mounting positions, on both the mask, rear dips and head cradle (attachment points are shown in image 5).
3. Adjust rear dips approximately to fit. Adjust head cradle to fit size of user’s crown area on top of head (see image 6).
4. Place head cradle onto top of head, over crown area (see image 7).
5. Position mask onto face and dip together rear dips behind neck (see image 8).
6. Ensure mask is sat comfortably and securely on face.
7. If fit is not comfortable and secure, adjust head cradle and rear dip elastic lengths until fit is comfortable and secure (see image 9).
8. Wearer’s thin should fit comfortably into bottom of the respirator.

FIT CHECK FOR FORCE®AND FORCE® ‘CLASSIC’ FILTERS: See image 10

To check efficiency place a piece of card in front of the filters, inhale, and respirator should contract sharply. This mask may not fit all face shapes, therefore it is necessary to carry out a ‘Face Fit Test’ to ensure the chosen mask is correct for the user.

FIT CHECK FOR ‘PressToCheckT”‘ FILTERS: See image 11.

1. Press the filter. Look forward and inhale. No air should come through. Release the filter. If a leak is detected, adjust fit and repeat.
2. Press the filter. Look up and inhale. No air should come through. Release the filter. If a leak is detected, adjust fit and repeat step 1.
3. Press the filter. Look left and inhale. No air should come through. Release the filter. If a leak is detected, adjust fit and repeat step 1.
4. Press the filter. Look right and inhale. No air should come through. Release the filter. If a leak is detected, adjust fit and repeat step 1.
5. Press the filter. Finally, look down and inhale. No air should come through. Release the filter. If a leak is detected, adjust fit and repeat step 1.

FILTER/CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT: To remove the old filter/cartridge, tum one filter/cartridge at a time anti-clockwise. Dispose of the filter/cartridge as you would other contaminated waste. A filter/cartridge’s useful service life is how long it provides adequate protection from harmful hazard in the air. The service life of a filter/cartridge depends on many factors, including environmental conditions, breathing rate, filler/cartridge capacity and the amount of contaminant in the air.

MAINTENANCE – FACEPIECE SERVICE LIFE: With correct maintenance the mask should give 2-3 years of service. The effective life of the facepiece will be influenced by the use conditions and contaminants to which it is exposed. This includes concentration of particulates, duration of exposure, ambient temperature, etc. If the material of the respirator shows any signs of cracking, wrinkling, or aging, then discard the facepiece immediately. Do not expose to high ambient temperatures (above +55°C) as this may distort the facepiece which may affect fit.

CLEANING THE FACEPIECE: Cleaning is recommended after each day’s use or more frequently if necessary.
Quick wash: The facepiece can be cleaned with the fitters/cartridges attached, but water MUST NOT enter the filter/cartridge. Clean with a cloth and warm soapy water. Care should be taken not to damage the inhalation/exhalation diaphragms. Dry with a clean cloth.
Thorough wash: Remove the fitters/cartridges first. Next, rotate the exhalation valve cover anti-clockwise, lift it away from the facepiece and remove the diaphragm. Then remove the head hamess assembly, including the straps and buckles from the facepiece. Wash the facepiece in warm soapy water. Wipe the seal surfaces with a cloth moistened with soapy water, rinse with dean water and dry at room temperature.
EXHALATION DIAPHRAGM INSPECTION/CLEANING: Condition of the valves should be checked weekly. To do so, rotate the exhalation valve cover anti-clockwise and lift it away from the facepiece. Then remove the diaphragm to inspect it. Check the diaphragm for dirt, leaks, distortion, or any other damage. After washing and further inspection, replace any damaged parts, or the entire mask if necessary. If undamaged, replace the diaphragm making sure that it is properly seated.

DO NOT IMMERSE THE PRODUCT IN WATER. DO NOT USE SOLVENTS, STRONG DETERGENTS, BLEACHES OR PETROLEUM-BASED PRODUCTS TO CLEAN ANY PART OF MASK.

EXHALATION VALVE REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS: Insert the exhalation diaphragm into the seat; pull the locating spigot through the central valve seat hole. Position the harness on the front of the mask; it is only possible to fit one way. Place the valve cover over the three blades; turn the valve cover clockwise until it locks in place.
REPLACEMENT PARTS: Replacement parts are not available for the facepiece. If the facepiece shows any damage to any component, the whole facepiece should be replaced.
STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION: When not in use or during transportation the respirator should be stored in the packaging in which it was supplied or another suitable container. Store respirator as detailed by symbols on package, temperature between +2°C and +55°C and relative humidity less than 75%. Storage outside of these conditions may affect the shelf life of the respirator. The respirator should be stored away from direct sunlight and away from sources of possible contamination and physical damage.
