RESPIRATORY MASK
Instructions foruse:
B22002
IMPORTANT:
Single-use respirators are classified according to one of three catego- ries- FFP1 FFP2, FFP3. Before reading the following information, check the category to which the respirator belongs-this is indicated on the packaging and on the respirator. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the respirator provides the neces- sary level of protection for the type and concentration of the contaminant(s) in the area where the respirator is intended for use.
Intended use
The particle-filtering half mask is a self-contained respiratory protective device that is made in whole or part of filter materials. Particle-filtering half masks are exclusively used for respiratory protection against volatile solid or liquid particles (dust, smoke, aerosols, aerosol vapours). Not reusable: for single use only.
Device category| **Protects against following multiple of pollutant
levels of the OELs*| Effects**
---|---|---
Particle-filtering half mask FFP1| 4| Protects against particles with a max.
size of 0.6 µm of non-toxic and non-fibrogenic
pollutants.
Particle-filtering half mask FFP2| 10| Protects against particles with a max.
size of 0.6 µm and captures at least 95% of
harmful dusts, vapours and smoke; filters solid and liquid particles.
Particle-filtering half mask FFP3| 30| Protects against particles with a max.
size of 0.6 µm and captures at least 99% of toxic
substances and protects against droplet aerosols, carcinogenic substances,
radioactive
substances, enzymes, microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi and their
spores).
*) The occupational exposure limit values (OELs) include those specified in the German Technical Rules for Hazardous Substances (TRGS 900); – MAK and TRK (MAK = maximum workplace concentration; TRK = technical guidance concentration).
Directions foruse:
- Fit the respirator and check leak-tightness before entering the contaminated area.
- Wear the respirator for the whole duration of 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 removedwhile in a contaminated area excessive clogging of the respirator causes breathing difficulty and/or discomfort the respirator becomes damaged (for respirators protecting against vapours, 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 re-use after single use.
- Discard the respirator after single use (one shift, maximum).
- Keep unused respirators in their closed box and store in a dry non-contaminated area between +5 and +55° C.

Fitting instructions:
- Cup the respirator in the hand, allowing the head-bands to hang freely.
- Hold the respirator under chin with the nose-piece facing outwards.
- Place the lower head-band around the neck below the ears. Holding the respirator against the face with one hand, place the top head-band above the ears, around the crown of the head.
- Respirators with adjustable head-bands only: while maintaining the position of the respirator, adjust tension by pulling tab of each head-band, (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 while pressing inward.
Check for leak-tightness (facial fit)
-
Place both hands over the respirator and exhale sharply positive pressure should be inside the respirator.
If you feel air escaping around the edges, re-adjust the respirator by tightening the nose-piece and/or increasing tension of the head- bands. Repeat the procedure until satisfactory face-fit has been achieved. -
Before using the mask, check its corpus, the ribbons and the valves whether they are damaged in any way.
If so, do not use the mask. -
Check the use by date on the box of the mask, in order to find out whether the respirator can still be used.
IMPORTANT:
In the case of respirators with non-adjustable head-bands-if you feel that the
head-bands are too loose, you can increase tension by tying a small k not in
the head-band.
Limitations to use:
Do not use these respirators or enter or stay in an area where:
- Oxygen concentration is less than 17% (UK-19%)
- Contaminants or their concentrations are unknown or immediately dangerous to life or health
- Particulate concentrations exceed levels fixed by applicable health and safety regulations or protection factor x NPF-whichever is lower. Nominal protection factors: 4.5 for FFP1, 12.5 for FFP2 and, 50 for FFP3
- Gases and/or vapours are present – except for respirators designated as protecting against vapours, in which case vapour concentrations should not exceed NPF.
- Respirators protecting against organic vapours should not be used as protection against acid vapours and vice-versa.
WARNING:
- Do not use for fire-fighting. These respirators do not supply oxygen.
- Do not use in oxygen-deficient atmospheres-e.g. tanks or other poorntly-ventila- ted areas (see ‘Limitations to use’).
- 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.
- Masks markedwith „NR“ must only be used for a single work shift.
Meaning of the symbols on the packaging:
- The hour glass pictogram refers to the product’s service life which is indicated by the date code: year yyyy, month mm or year only yyyy.
