SAFETY

A properly selected face mask is essential to protect your health. Before commencing any task, please consult with qualified safety personnel to ensure that the face mask type and rating offers adequate protection for your intended use.

DO NOT use for fire fighting. These respirators DO NOT supply oxygen. DO NOT use in oxygen deficient atmospheres e.g. tanks or other poorly ventilated areas (see Limitations to use section). DO NOT use in explosive atmospheres.

For use only by trained and qualified personnel. Requirements for leak tightness are unlikely to be achieved if the respirator is worn against a beard or facial stubble. When transporting this product, retain in the original packaging and keep away from mechanical and chemical hazards.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

• Fit the respirator and check leak tightness BEFORE entering the contaminated area.
• Wear the respirator for the whole duration of the exposure to contaminants.
• Use the respirator in accordance with applicable Health and Safety Regulations.
• Discard the respirator and replace with a new one if:
  • the respirator is removed while in a contaminated area.
  • excessive clogging of the respirator causes breathing difficulty or discomfort.
  • the respirator becomes damaged.
  • (for respirators protecting against vapours; discard if the smell of vapours present becomes detectable).
• Leave the contaminated area if dizziness, irritation or other distress occurs.
• Only for single use. No maintenance necessary. DO NOT store and/or reuse after single use.
• Discard the respirator after single use (one shift maximum).

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

• Cup the respirator in the hand, allowing the headbands to hang freely.

• Hold the respirator under chin with nose piece facing outwards.

• Place the lower headband around the neck below the ears. Holding the respirator against the face with one hand, place the top
  headband above the ears, around the crown of the head.

• Respirators with adjustable headbands only: while maintaining the position of the respirator, adjust tension by pulling tab of each
  headband. (Tension may be decreased by pushing out on the back of the buckle).

• Mould the nose area to the shape of the face, running the fingertips of both hands from the top of the nose piece down both sides
  whilst pressing inwards.

• CHECK FOR LEAK TIGHTNESS AS FOLLOWS

• Place both hands over the respirator and exhale sharply, positive pressure should be inside the respirator. If air is felt escaping around the edges readjust the respirator by tightening the nose piece and/or increasing the tension of the headbands.

• Repeat the procedure until satisfactory face fit has been achieved.
  IMPORTANT: In the case of respirators with non adjustable headbands if the headbands are too loose tension can be increased by tying a small knot in the headband
