IMPORTANT NOTICE TO USERS
Read Instruction Manual, included with 8000 respirator facepiece, before wearing. You are responsible to under-
stand and follow all warnings, restrictions and other information contained in the Instruction Manual. Failure to
do so may result in sickness or death.

1. Contaminants specified on NIOSH approval label or bag or cartridges or filters and in Manual.
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 10 times the OSHA
Permissible Exposure Limit, whichever is lower.
3. Gases or vapors with poor warning properties or those which generate high heats of reaction, or paint sprays
containing isocyanates, or sandblasting.
4. Oil-based mists with N filters.
WARNING TO USER
1. Follow all instructions and warnings on the use of these cartridges and 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 phone 800/421-0668.
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.
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.
RESTRICTIONS:
1. This respirator does not supply oxygen and must not be used in atmospheres containing less than 19.5% oxygen.
2. Do not remain in contaminated area if any physical distress occurs, for example breathing difficulty, dizziness
or nausea.

filters for longer than one eight-hour work shift. Dispose no later than eight hours after first use. Do not exceed
10XPEL or a total of 200 mg loading per respirator, whichever is lower. It is the user’s responsibility to know the
PEL and concentration of the contaminant, the maximum workrate of the employee, and any other worksite spe-
cific information to calculate the loading of the filter. Where oil mists are present do not use N filters.
