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
respirators 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 call 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.

02. Do not remain in contaminated area if any physical
distress occurs, for example breathing difficulty, dizziness
or nausea.
03. Leave contaminated area and replace respirator and/or

combination with solid particulates, do not use the R or P
filters for longer than one eight-hour work shift. Dispose
no later than eight hours after first use. Do not exceed
10X PEL 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 work rate of the employee, and any other work
site-specific information to calculate the loading of the
filter. Where oil mists are present do not use N filters.
09. Dispose of all cartridges, N, R, P filters no later than thirty
days after a) first use, and/or b) removing from sealed bag.
10. Use cartridges, filters, and facepieces before the “use by”

2. Buckles or head cradle are missing, damaged or broken.
3. Facepiece is cracked, torn, distorted, dirty, or has holes.
4. Inhalation/Exhalation valves are missing, torn, damaged,
or not properly seated.
5. Cartridges are at the end of their service life, cracked,
damaged, or not properly seated.
FITTING
FFIITTTTIINNGG IINNSSTTRRUUCCTTIIOONNS
1. Users must follow instructions each time respirator is worn.
2. OSHA regulation 1910.134 (f) requires that the user be
fit tested.
3. Do not wear with any facial hair, such as beards, which
may prevent a proper fit.
4. If you cannot obtain a proper fit, do not enter the
contaminated area and see your supervisor.

PPoossiittiivvee PPrreessssuurree SSeeaall CChheecckk:
Cover the exhalation valve vents,
and exhale gently to create a slight
positive pressure. If air leakage is
detected, re-adjust the position of the
facepiece, and the tension of both
headstraps, and repeat the seal check
until leakage is eliminated.
NNeeggaattiivvee PPrreessssuurree SSeeaall CChheecckk:
Cover both cartridges, and gently
inhale and hold your breath. The

Leave contaminated area, and replace cartridges, if you
smell, taste, or feel any irritation, in your nose or throat.
Consult your supervisor. Replace according to your change-out
schedule per OSHA 1910.134, or no more than eight hours
after first use, or sooner if breakthrough occurs.

First inspect the facepiece to cartridge sealing surface to make sure
it’s clean and undamaged. Only use
cartridges from sealed bags. To
attach cartridge to facepiece, press
firmly into opening until both surfaces are tightly sealed together at
all points. Check to see that it is
seated properly, both on the inside and outside and flush
against the facepiece. Check the inhalation diaphragms for
dirt or damage and see that they are seated properly. To
remove cartridge, pull and lever out of the facepiece.
