IMPORTANT NOTICE TO USERS
You are responsible to understand and follow all warnings, restrictions and other
information contained in the instruction manual before you enter a contaminated
work area. Failure to do so may result in sickness or death.
APPLICATIONS
USE AGAINST
1. Contaminants specified on NIOSH approval label, matrix, cartridges or filters and
in accordance with all limitations and applicable safety and health regulations,
including OSHA.
2. Contaminants with good warning properties, i.e., smell, taste or irritation.
DO NOT USE AGAINST
1. Concentrations of contaminants which are unknown, or are immediately dangerous
to life or health.
2. Concentrations of contaminants which exceed the maximum use concentration or
10x times the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit, (PEL), when qualitatively fit tested,
or 50x times the PEL when quantitatively fit tested, or according to applicable
government regulations.
3. Gases or vapors with poor warning properties or those which generate high heats
of reaction, or paint sprays containing isocyanates.
4. Sandblasting.
5. Oil-based mists with N filters.
RESTRICTIONS
01. This respirator does not supply oxygen and must not be used in atmospheres
containing less than 19.5% oxygen.
02. Do not remain in contaminated area if any physical distress occurs, for example
breathing difficulty, dizziness or nausea.
03. Leave contaminated area and replace respirator and/or cartridge or filter if it is
damaged, distorted, a proper fit cannot be obtained, you taste, smell or become
irritated by contaminants, or breathing becomes difficult.
04. Do not alter, modify, or abuse this respirator.
05. Store respirator in sealed bag in a clean, dry, non-contaminated area.
06. Dispose of facepiece, and/or cartridges and disks/filters according to your
employer’s policy and applicable regulations.
07. N, R or P filters are required for particulates.
08. Where oil mists are present, either alone or in combination with solid particulates,
do not use the R or P filters for longer than one eight-hour work shift. Dispose
no later than eight hours after first use. Do not exceed 10x or 50x PEL (see
Do Not Use Against, item 2) and 200 mg loading per respirator. It is the user’s
responsibility to know the PEL and concentration of the contaminant, the
maximum work rate of the employee, and any other work site-specific information
to calculate the loading of the filter. Where oil mists are present do not use
N filters.
09. Dispose of all cartridges and N filters no later than thirty days after
a) first use, and/or b) removing from sealed bag.
10. Use cartridges, filters, and facepieces before the “use by” expiration date printed
on box or bag.
WARNINGS TO USER
1. Follow all instructions and warnings on the use of this respirator and wear during
all times of exposure. Failure to do so will reduce respirator effectiveness, wearer
protection, and may result in sickness or death.
2. For proper use, ask your supervisor or call +1 (800) 421-0668 or
+1 (310) 837-6500, ext. 512/550.
3. The user must first be trained by the employer in proper respirator use, in
accordance with applicable safety and health standards, for the contaminant and
exposure level in the assigned work area. A written Respiratory Training Program
must be in place and followed by each user before first use. It must meet all
requirements of all applicable standards, including OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134, and in
Canada CSA Z 94.4, e.g. training, fit testing, medical evaluation, and applicable
OSHA substance specific standards.
4. The vapors, gases, dusts, mists, fumes, and other contaminants which can be
dangerous to your health include those which you cannot see, taste, or smell.
5. Check with your supervisor for the appropriate cartridges and/or filters for the
contaminants in your work area.
6. A qualitative or quantitative fit test must be performed before a respirator is
assigned. Refer to current OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 (f).
