6 - INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
6.1 General information
6.1.1 Packing
When removing the mask from its box, check that the instructions are included and that the mask
shows no signs of damage. If it does, contact your supplier immediately.
6.1.2 Storage
Store the mask in a dry place away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat. Do not store
below -10°C or above +50°C at a relative humidity (RH) below 80%.
6.2 Preparation for use
6.2.1 Initial check
First read instructions carefully.
1 - Inspect mask thoroughly
2 - Check glass visor is clean
3 - Check breathing valve is clean and moves freely
4 - Ensure that straps are fully extended.
6.2.2 Fitting the mask
1 - Put the chin into the face seal, keeping the two lower straps stretched open with the hands.
2 - Now pull the mask over the head and adjust it on the face. Be sure that hair does not remain
trapped between seal and forehead.
3 - Adjust the side straps, then the upper straps and finally the lower ones. Do not tighten straps
excessively.
4 - Use the palm of the hand to cover the threaded hole into which the filter is screwed and inhale.
The mask should collapse in towards the face and remain so for as long as you hold your breath.
This check is necessary to ensure that the face seal is fitted correctly. If it is not, tighten the straps
or adjust the mask over the face. Then repeat the check until the fit is perfect.
Beards, long sideburns or spectacle stems may interfere with adhesion of the mask to the face
and cause air to escape. Do not use in such circumstances.
6.3 Use
Choose the filter according to the type of contaminant, check the expiry date and ensure that the
seal at the bottom of the threaded hole makes good contact.
You may now enter the contaminated area.
6.4 Removing the mask
When you have finished work, remove the mask by loosening the lower straps on the headpiece and
pulling it off from the chin upwards.
Take particular care of any contaminants deposited on the mask. All cleaning should take place
in safe areas. Do not use abrasive substances to clean the visor.
