Warning: This respirator helps protect against certain particulate contaminants but does not eliminate exposure to or the risk of contracting any disease, illness or infection. Misuse may result in sickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor or User Instructions.

Use Instructions

• In the U.S., before occupational use of this respirator, a written respiratory protection program must be implemented meeting all requirements of U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 such as training, fit testing, medical evaluation, and applicable OSHA substance specific standards. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4 requirements must be met and/or requirements of the applicable jurisdiction, as appropriate. Follow all applicable local regulations.
• The particles which can be dangerous to your health include those so small that you cannot see them.
• Leave the contaminated area immediately and contact your supervisor if dizziness, irritation, or other distress occurs.
• Store the respirator away from contaminated areas when not in use.
• Inspect respirator before each use to ensure that it is in good operating condition. Examine all the respirator parts for signs of damage including the straps, nosepiece, and facepiece material. Ensure there are no holes in the breathing zone and that no damage has occurred. Enlarged holes resulting from ripped or torn filter material are considered damaged. The respirator should be disposed of immediately upon observation of damage or missing parts.
• Conduct a user seal check before each use as specified in the Fitting Instructions section. If you cannot achieve a proper seal, do not use the respirator.

• If respirator becomes damaged, soiled, or breathing becomes difficult, leave the contaminated area immediately and replace the respirator. Discard the used respirator after single use.
• This respirator does not supply oxygen. Do not use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5% oxygen.
• Do not use when concentrations of contaminants are immediately dangerous to life and health, are unknown or when concentrations exceed 10 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) or according to specific OSHA standards or applicable government regulations, whichever is lower.
• Do not alter, wash, abuse or misuse this respirator.
• Do not use with beards or other facial hair or other conditions that prevent a good seal between the face and the sealing surface of the respirator.
• Respirators can help protect your lungs against certain airborne contaminants. They will not prevent entry through other routes such as the skin, which would require additional personal protective equipment (PPE).
• This respirator is designed for occupational/professional use by adults who are properly trained in its use and limitations. This respirator is not designed to be used by children.
• Individuals with a compromised respiratory system, such as asthma or emphysema, should consult a physician and must complete a medical evaluation prior to use.

Fitting Instructions

1. Unfold the respirator by pulling the top part (with the nosepiece) up and bottom part down.
2. Hold the respirator in your hand with the nosepiece at your fingertips, allowing the head straps to fall below your hand.
3. Place the respirator under your chin with the nosepiece up. Pull one strap over your head and position it around your neck below your ears. Pull the second strap over your head and position it high on the back of your head. Make certain hair, facial hair, jewelry and clothing are not between your face and the respirator as they will interfere with fit.
4. Using your fingertips from both hands, press down on the nosepiece to mold the area to the shape of your nose. Pinching the nosepiece using one hand may result in improper fit and less effective respirator performance (Use two hands).
5. Perform a User Seal Check. To check the respirator-to-face seal, place both hands completely over the respirator and exhale. Be careful not to disturb the position of the respirator. If air leaks around nose, readjust the nose. If air leaks around the respirator edges, adjust position of straps and make certain respirator edges fit snugly against the face. If you CANNOT achieve a proper seal, DO NOT enter the contaminated area. See your supervisor.

• Removal Instructions: Without touching the respirator, lift the bottom strap from around your neck up over your head and then lift off the top strap. Dispose of the used product in accordance with applicable regulations.
• Storage Conditions and Shelf Life: Before use, store respirators in the original packaging, away from contaminated areas, dust, sunlight, extreme temperatures, excessive moisture and damaging chemicals.
