PREPARATION FOR USE
Check that the mask is complete, undamaged and assembled correctly. Damaged or faulty respirators must be replaced - contact Euromarc 0800 278 600.
INSPECTION
The following points must be checked before use:
1. The material should be soft and pliable to conform to the face. Check the face-piece, valves and diaphragm for any cracks or tears and ensure the shape of the mask is not distorted.
2. Make sure all seals are correctly positioned. Remove the front plastic piece to check the exhalation diaphragm.
3. Inspect head-straps, clips and harness to ensure an effective seal.
4. Ensure mask is clean. Dust and dirt in the valves or bayonet fittings can impair effective protection.
This product meets the requirements of AS/NZS 1716:2012 and should be used in combination with a pair of approved Euromarc Craftsman filters to form a filtering apparatus for respiratory protection.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. The filters have a 3-point locking system - align openings on the back of the filter with the fitting on the mask, press and turn filter clockwise until it is firmly attached (fig. 9 and
10).
2. With one hand hold the respirator over the mouth sitting it on the bridge of the nose, then fit head harness over the crown of the head with the other hand, taking care that the elastic straps are not twisted (fig. 1).
3. Hook the two bottom straps together behind the neck.
4. Firstly, tighten the head harness by pulling on the ends of the straps – ensure a comfortable but firm and secure fit. Tighten the bottom straps in a similar manner (fig. 1) (Strap tension may be decreased by pushing out on the back side of the buckles).
5. For a drop-down suspensed mask, adjust the harness as shown on (fig.2, 3 to fig. 4) then repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 to fit mask.
FIT CHECK
1. Positive-Pressure test: place the palm of your hand over vent in the exhalation valve cover and breathe out (fig. 5). If no air leaks are present the mask will bulge out – you have a good seal.
2. Negative-Pressure test: press your palms firmly over the filters, try and cover as much area as possible, inhale gently and hold your breath briefly. If no air leaks are present the face piece will collapse slightly - you have a good seal (fig. 6).
3. If you detect any air leaks in either test try repositioning the respirator on the face and/or adjust the tension on the elastic straps. You may need to use a different size.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until you have a good seal.
If you CANNOT achieve a proper fit DO NOT enter the hazardous area. It is recommended that wearers should be fit tested in accordance with AS/NZS 1715.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Euromarc recommends cleaning the mask after each use. Use designated respirator cleaning wipes, and wipe the face seal and internal surfaces. Or remove the filters and wash in warm clean water (below 50° C).
Leave to air-dry at room temperature in a clean environment (fig. 8). CAUTION: using cleaners containing oils, detergent or abrasive chemicals can destroy the
integrity of the mask. Masks and filters should be inspected before each use as described above. Damaged masks should be discarded.
STORAGE
Masks should be stored in their original packaging in dry, clean conditions, between -10 to +40°C, and away from direct sunlight, high temperature, chemicals and vapours. Masks have a life-span of 5 years from date of manufacture, including shelf-life and time in-use.
The date of manufacture can be established by examining the date clock on the inside of the face piece as shown in (fig. 7). After each use and cleaning, masks should be stored in their original packaging or a sealed container, do not store in contaminated areas.
