• These filters DO NOT supply oxygen (O2).
• Use in adequately ventilated areas. DO NOT use in case of oxygen deficiency.
• DO NOT use in explosive atmospheres.
• Filters should NOT be used in firefighting or to work with open flames or molten metal since the combustion of the activated carbon contained in the filters can generate high levels of toxic substances.
• The right filter must be chosen according to the concentration and type of contaminant in each case.
• DO NOT use as protection against carbon monoxide under any circumstances.
• DO NOT modify or repair the filter or cover. In case of damage or loss of seal, replace the product with a new one.
• Filters, combined filters, and absorbers require no maintenance or repair.
