- Breathing becomes difficult.
- Dizziness or other distress occurs.
- You smell or taste contaminants or irritation occurs.

Limitations of use

Do not wear this respirator system to enter areas where:
• Atmospheres are oxygen deficient.
• Contaminant concentrations are unknown.
• Contaminant concentrations are Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH).
• Contaminant concentrations exceed the maximum use concentration (MUC) determined using the Assigned Protection Factor (APF) for the specific
respirator system or the APF mandated by specific government standards, whichever is lower.
Refer to the User Instructions provided with the applicable headgear and PAPR assembly and the additional cautions and limitations under the "NIOSH
Cautions and Limitations" in these User Instructions.

RESPIRATOR PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

Occupational use of respirators must be in compliance with applicable health and safety standards. By United States regulation, employers must
establish a written respirator protection program meeting the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Respiratory
Protection standard 29 CFR 1910.134 and any applicable OSHA substance specific standards. For additional information on this standard contact
OSHA at www.OSHA.gov. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4 requirements and/or requirements of the applicable jurisdiction must be met as appropriate.
Consult an industrial hygienist or call 3M Technical Service with questions concerning applicability of these products to your job requirements.
