H95
Vertical Folding Headband Style
-
STEP 1
Unfold the respirator and allow the headbands to hang outward on both sides. -
STEP 2
Position the respirator on your face with the adjustable metal nosepiece facing up. -

Pull the headbands over your head. Place the bottom band below the ears and the top band on the crown of your head. -
STEP 4
Using both hands, press down on the metal nosepiece to form a tight-fitting seal around your nose. -
STEP 5
Test the seal by cupping both hands over the protective respirator . Then, begin to inhale and exhale sharply. If air leaks around the respirator’s edges, adjust the straps and reposition the nose piece until a proper seal is formed.
PERFORMING A SEAL CHECK
It is necessary to perform a seal check on the respirator every time you wear
it.
Cup both hands around the respirator and inhale and exhale forcefully several
times. If you notice any air leakage, adjust the nosepiece and headbands until
the leakage is corrected. Once corrected, repeat the seal check again.
