GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
STANDARDS
The Klein Tools 60440 N95 Particulate Disposable Respirator is approved as a
Particulate Filtering Facepiece Respirator in accordance with NIOSH Standards
42 CFR Part 84.
APPLICATIONS
This respirator helps protect against certain particulate contaminates but
does not eliminate exposure or the risk of contracting disease or infection.
It is approved for protection against particulate aerosols free of oils. Klein
Tools recommends this respirator for use against particles that become
airborne during activities such as grinding, sanding, or processing wood,
minerals, flour, iron, coal, and certain other substances. The protection
provided by classification N95 also covers the protection provided by lower-
class respirators. Guidelines for the selection and use may vary between
countries; always check prior to use to ensure that your selection for the
intended application meets national requirements.
WARNINGS
To ensure safe operations, follow these instructions. Failure to observe these warnings and instructions may result in sickness or death.
- DO NOT use against vapors, paint spray, oil-based aerosols, asbestos, and sandblasting.
- DO NOT use against any contaminant whose concentration is unknown, or immediately dangerous to life
- DO NOT use against concentrations of dust and mists that exceed the maximum use concentration, or 10 times the contaminant’s permissible exposure limit established by OSHA.
- These respirators do not supply oxygen. Use only in well-ventilated areas containing sufficient oxygen to support life.
Leave the contaminated area immediately if:
- Dizziness or distress is experienced.
- You taste or smell contaminants, or irritation occurs.
- Breathing becomes difficult.
- A defect is discovered in the respirator.
- DO NOT alter or modify the respirator.
- NOT suitable for persons with beard or other facial hair which may reduce the efficacy of respirator.
- The use and reuse of this respirator is subject to consideration of hygiene damage and increased breathing resistance. Service time should not be extended beyond 8 total hours of use.
- The use of this respirator presupposes exact knowledge of the instructions for use, applicable health and safety standards, guidelines for selection and use, and appropriate training in matters of personal respiratory protection.
FITTING
The respirator must be inspected by the wearer before and after each use to ensure that it is in good working condition and valves are seated correctly.
NOTE:
Before occupational use of this respirator, a written respiratory protection
program must be implemented meeting all the local government requirements. In
the United States, employers must comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 which
includes medical evaluation, training, and fit testing.
- STEP 1 (FIG. 1): Hold the respirator in one hand with the nose area at your fingertips, allowing the headbands to hang below your hand.
- STEP 2 (FIG. 2): Press the respirator against your face with the nose foam on the bridge of your nose.
- STEP 3 (FIG. 3): Place the top headband high on the back of your head. Move the bottom band over your head and position it below your ears.
- STEP 4 (FIG. 4): Test the fit. Cup both hands over the respirator and inhale vigorously. If no negative pressure is felt inside the respirator, readjust the position of the respirator according to Steps 2, 3 and 4 until a better fit is achieved.
If you CANNOT achieve a proper seal, DO NOT enter the contaminated area. See your supervisor.
STORAGE
Store the respirators in cool dry atmosphere at a temperature of between -20°C and 40°C.
