the valve, do not use facepiece.
This device may not seal properly with your face if you have a beard, gross sideburns or similar phys-
ical characteristics (see NFPA-1500 and ANSI Z88.2). An improper face-to-facepiece seal may allow
contaminants to leak into the facepiece, reducing or eliminating respiratory protection. Do not use
this device if a proper face-to-facepiece seal can not be achieved. The face-to-facepiece seal must
be tested before each use. Never remove the facepiece except in a safe, non-hazardous nontoxic
atmosphere. Misuse can result in serious injury or death.
