is suitable for use against solid and water based liquid aerosols, that do not
contain oil, protecting the user from inhaling in dangerous particulates in
high dust areas, suitable for use in occupational areas such as mining,
agriculture, construction, general material handling and medical industry
applications.

M. Tuberculosis exposure control.
• Adjustable headband straps on cheeks allowing optimum fit.

Special Instructions
This respirator helps protect against certain particulate contaminants, but
does not eliminate exposure to or the risk of contracting disease or
infection. Misuse may result in sickness of death.
These respirators do not supply oxygen.
Do NOT use in oxygen deficient atmospheres (e.g. tanks or other poorly
ventilated areas).
The lifetime of a filter depends on many factors including the work rate,
the air flow and the concentration of the contaminant in the atmosphere.
A dust mask should be discarded and replaced 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.
All approved respirators shall be selected,fitted, used and maintained in
accordance with MSHA,OSHA and other applicable regulations.
Do not use these respirators or enter in an area where:
• The Oxygen concentration is not known or is less than 19%.
• Contaminants or their concentrations are unknown or are known to be
immediately dangerous to life or health.
• Particulate concentrations exceed levels fixed by the applicable health
and safety regulations or protection factors x NPF, whichever is lower.
• Gases and/or vapours are present except for respirators designated as
protecting against vapours.
• The requirement for leak tightness is unlikely to be achieved if worn
against a beard or facial stubble.
• Do not use in explosive atmospheres.
• Not to be used for firefighting.
