The half mask has been designed to conform with EN 140 and AS/NZS 1716:2003. EC certified
by BGIA, DE-53754 Sankt Augustin, Germany, ID: 0121. Licence 0858 by SAI Global, Australia.
1. General
The Profile2is designed to protect the respiratory system against hazardous gases and
particles.
Size: L, M and S. The marking is found at the chin.
Material: faceblank TPE (thermoplastic elastomere), plastic parts PP/PA/POM, exhalation
valve silicone, inhalation valve EPDM.
Filters: Pro2. The filter is selected according to the type of hazard present.
Accessory: hood Profile2 Litehood (dirtproof). The hood does not improve the protection of
the half mask.
2. Limitations of use
2.1 The filtering device must not be used if the environment and contamination is unknown. In
case of doubt, isolating respirators (air supply) which function independently of the
atmosphere must be used.
2.2 The filtering device must not be used in confined spaces (e.g. cisterns, tunnels) because
of the risk of oxygen deficiency or presence of heavy oxygen-displacing gases (e.g.
carbon dioxide).
2.3 The filtering device may be used only if the oxygen content of the air is 18–23 vol.%.
2.4 Gas filters do not protect against particles. Similarly, particle filters do not provide
protection against gases or vapours. In case of doubt, use combined filters.
2.5 Normal filtering devices do not protect against certain gases such as CO (carbon
monoxide), CO2(carbon dioxide) and N2(nitrogen).
2.6 Particle filters are only allowed for single use if they are applied against radioactive agents or
micro-organisms (virus, bacteria, fungi and spores).
2.7 It is likely that adequate protection cannot be guaranteed if the user’s beard or clothing
intrude into the face seal. With the Profile2one can use safety goggles.
2.8 When a breathing protector is used in explosive atmospheres, please follow the
instructions given for such areas.
2.9 Gas filters shall be replaced when the user begins to sense odour, taste or irritation.
Filters used against detrimental gases that do not display any significant indications,
require special regulations for the duration of use and correct usage.
Particle filters must be replaced at the latest when breathing resistance becomes too high.
2.10 See Instructions for Use of the filter Pro2.

information, see Instructions for Use of Scott
Health & Safety filters.
Device with combined filter
The specified multiples of threshold value for the gas or particle filters
are given separately, but in all cases the lowest value applies
*) Provided that the maximum permissible detrimental gas concentration for the gas filter is not
exceeded.
For non-powered filtering devices with gas filter, concentration must not exceed 0.1 vol.% in gas filter
class 1 and 0.5 vol.% in gas filter class 2 and 1.0 vol.% in gas filter class 3.
**) If national guidelines exist: in all cases the lowest value applies.
***) AS/NZS 1715 recommends a minimum protection factor of up to 10 for a Half mask respirator fitted
with a P2 or P3 filter.
Note! In Australia only, the following limitations apply:
Provides P3 protection only with a full face respirator (AS/ NZS 1716:2003 refers).
Provides P2 protection with a half face respirator negative pressure respirator
4. Preparations for use
Check before use
facepiece, head harness and valves are intact
cover is securely in position
filter is correct for the intended use. Filter type and class are evident from the marking.
storage period of the filter has not been exceeded
filter condition and intactness. Shake the filter to ensure that there are no loose
components/contents. The filter shall be replaced if it has been exposed to strong press or
impact. It may be damaged.
A
Fitting of the filter
Always use two filters of the same type and class. Always replace both filters at the
same time.
Align the bayonets on the mask with the slots on the filter and locate the filter.
Turn the filter clockwise ¼ turn The filter is tight only when the aligning marks (◄)
are opposite each other and the openings of the splash guards face backwards.
Fitting of the Profile2Litehood
Remove the cover. Align the openings of the hood with the mask, then close the
cover.
Fit the filters, and don the hood+mask.
B
Donning
Fasten the neck buckle.
Locate the chin pocket of the mask properly on the chin and pull the head
harness+cradle over the head.
Adjust the straps as required.
Leak check (two alternative methods):

C
1. Cover the exhalation opening with your hand. Exhale gently to create overpressure.
There must be no leakage between the face and the face seal.
2. Cover the filter openings with your hand. Inhale to make the mask press onto your
face.
If you fail to get a tight fit (=potential leakage), adjust the head harness or use another
size of the mask.
5. Maintenance and storage
Use only original spare parts. After use the mask must be checked, cleaned and disinfected.
Replace damaged parts. Valve discs must be replaced every other year at the latest.
D
Replacing the exhalation valve disc
Remove the cover and replace the disc.
Close the cover.
E
Replacing the inhalation valve discs
Remove the discs from the inside of the mask and replace them.
Check that the discs remain flat.
Replacing the head harness
Remove the head harness from the zig-zag-holder and thread a new harness into
place.
Cleaning
Remove the filters, cover and valves.
Clean the facepiece and components with a damp cloth or sponge, using lukewarm water
and mild detergent (neutral, pH 6-8) (e.g. washing-up liquid). A brush can be used for
stubborn dirt.
Do not use solvents (e.g. alcohol, acetone, turpentine), hot water or bleaching agents
(perborate, percarbonate).
Disinfection
After cleaning, disinfect the the inside/face seal with a disinfection solution (e.g. Scott Trigene),
rinse and let it dry (max +50 ºC). Finally, reassemble the mask.
Storage
Storage protected from direct sunlight, at -10...+50 °C and relative humidity (RH) under 75
% (sealed filters RH max. 95 %).
The components should not be more than 5 years old.
After use, an opened filter must be sealed tightly if it is to be reused, but it must be
replaced within 6 months at the latest.
Disposal
Masks (without filters) are coarse waste. A very contaminated mask as well as used filters
are special refuse and shall be disposed of according to the filtered substances (gases or
particles).
Australia and New Zealand
For complete national requirements, please refer to the standard AS/NZS1715:2009, Use
& Maintenance of Respiratory Products.
