remain collapsed while the breath is

or reposition the facepiece, ensure the push
button is completely depressed, and repeat
test until no leakage is detected.

INTRODUCTION
WARNING
6. Use strictly in accordance with
instructions, labels, and limitations
pertaining to this device.
7. This respirator may not provide a sat-
isfactory seal with certain facial char-
acteristics, such as beards or large
sideburns, that prevent direct contact
between the skin and the sealing sur-
face of the facepiece. Do not use this
respirator if such conditions exist.
8. Never alter or modify this device.
9. This respirator is for use by trained,
qualified personnel only.
Failure to follow the above warnings can
result in serious personal injury or death.
Do not use for urethane paints or other
paints containing diisocyanates unless an
appropriate cartridge change-out sched-
ule is developed. Due to their poor warn-
ing properties, over exposure can occur
without user awareness and result in
severe permanent damage to the respira-
tory system. If unable to develop an
appropriate change-out schedule, use an
air supplied respirator or SCBA.
When using filters in an application that
produces sparks, ensure that you are pro-
tected by a shield. Contact with sparks
can damage filters and reduce protection.
