allowing the headbands to hang below your hand. Hold the respirator under your chin with the nosepiece up.

and below the ears. Do not crisscross straps.

metal strip to mold the nose area to the shape of your nose.
Additionally, check your seal each time N95 respirator is worn as follows:
Fig 4. Place both hands over the respirator, take a quick breath in to check whether the respirator seals tightly to the
face. Place both hands completely over the respirator and exhale. If you feel leakage, there is not a proper seal.
User Instructions

If air leaks around the nose, readjust the nosepiece as described in Fig 3. If air leaks at the respirator edges, re-
adjust the straps along the sides of your head until a proper seal is achieved. If you cannot achieve a proper seal
due to air leakage, do not enter contaminated areas. Ask for help.
