HOW TO USE

2. Read these instructions carefully before use.
3. Replace the filter immediately when it feels more difficult to breathe.
4. Do not replace the filter in a contaminated environment.
5. Release the fasteners, screw the filter on the half mask, and check the tightness.

NOTE:
Facial hair and scars etc. can result in inferior tightness.

LIMITATIONS

Do not use the filter cartridges in the following circumstances:

• When there is an increase in the oxygen content or when the concentration exceeds 23.5%. The increase in the oxygen content can be very dangerous. The limit is not definite, but even a moderate increase in the content increases the risk. An increase in the oxygen content means that sparks are a greater fire hazard, and that a fire would be more intense.
• In areas where there is a risk of explosion.
• In the vicinity of significant fire risk or molten metal, because of the risk of the active carbon in the filter igniting (formation of CO/CO2).
• The oxygen content in the inhaled air must not be less than 19%.
• Never enter unventilated tanks, pits, channels or small spaces with filtered breathing protection. In such cases a full face breathingapparatus must be used.
• Filters and filter sets heavier than 300 g must only be used with  a full face mask.

CHECK

• Check all plastic and rubber parts for for cracks and fatigue damage.
• Check that the breathing filter is correctly fitted and in good condition.
