•  Do not use with beards or other facial hair that may inhibit contact between the face and the product thus preventing a good seal.

•  Leave the contaminated area immediately if:

a. Breathing becomes difficult.

b. Dizziness or other distress occurs.

c. The respirator becomes damaged

d. You taste or smell contaminants, or an irritation occurs

•  Discard and replace the respirator if it becomes contaminated with blood or other infectious material, damaged, breathing resistance becomes excessive or at the end of a shift.

1. Before fitting device, ensure hands are clean. All respirator components should be inspected for damage prior to each use. Separate left and right panels to form a cup shape. Bend slighty at centre of the noseclip.

2. Cup respirator in one hand with open side towards face. Take both straps in other hand. Hold respirator under chin, with nosepiece up, and pull straps over ears.

3. Straps must not be twisted. Adjust panels for a comfortable fit.

4. Using both hands, mould nose clip to the shape of the lower part of the nose to ensure a close fit and good seal. Pinching the nose clip using only one hand may result in less effective respirator performance.

Seal Check

1. Cover the front of the respirator with both hands being careful not to disturb the fit of the respirator.

2. (a) UNVALVED respirator - EXHALE sharply; (b) VALVED respirator - INHALE sharply;

3. If air leaks around the nose, re-adjust the nose clip to eliminate leakage. Repeat the above seal check.

4. If air leaks at the respirator edges, work the panels to eliminate leakage. Repeat the above seal check.

If you CANNOT achieve a proper seal DO NOT enter the hazardous area. See your supervisor.

Users should be fit tested in accordance with national requirements.
