Important Rules for Escaping

— Begin your escape calmly; do not rush.
— Plan your escape so that you use the shortest route to safety.
— Behave calmly. Hurrying makes you breathe more quickly and
uses up more oxygen.
— Make sure that the half mask is tight (position of half mask).
— If the air from the oxygen self-rescuer is warm and dry, this is a
sign that the oxygen self-rescuer is functioning correctly.
Any off-taste is quite normal and not dangerous.
— Take care not to damage or squash the breathing bag and so
waste life-saving oxygen.
— If you have to vomit, take the mouthpiece out of your mouth but
keep it sealed with the thumb. Do not vomit into the oxygen self-
rescuer.
Do not start to breathe in again until you have put the mouth-
piece back into your mouth so that you do not inhale toxic
substances from the ambient air.

End of Use

— When breathing becomes more difficult and the breathing bag
begins to deflate, the oxygen supply is coming to an end.
— Any oxygen self-rescuer used underground must be brought to
the surface.
— The hood has an anti-suffocation valve to prevent suffocation.
After escape: Unfasten head straps of half mask and remove
hood.

Disposal

The oxygen self-rescuer is to be discarded after use.
Deactivating used oxygen self-rescuer
