and don the respirator according to the instructions in these User Instructions and the User Instructions provided with the components of the
system you are using. Failure to do so may affect respirator performance and result in sickness or death.
17. Do not remove the respirator while you are in a hazardous atmosphere. Do not reach your hand into the hood in areas where the air is
contaminated. Leave the contaminated area and clean contaminants from your hands before reaching inside the hood. Failure to do so may
result in sickness or death.

Respirator Program Management

Occupational use of respirators must be in compliance with applicable health and safety regulations. By regulation, United States employers
must establish a written respiratory 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 standard. For additional information on this regulation
contact OSHA at: www.OSHA.gov. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4 requirements must be met and/or requirements of the applicable jurisdiction,
as appropriate. Consult an industrial hygienist or call 3M Technical Service with questions concerning applicability of these products to your job
requirements.
Before use, the employer must assure that each respirator user has been trained by a qualified person in the proper use and maintenance of the
respirator and air supply components according to the instructions contained in these User Instructions and other applicable User Instructions.
Each person using this respirator must read and understand the information in these User Instructions before use. Use of these respirators by
untrained or unqualified persons, or use that is not in accordance with these User Instructions, may adversely affect respirator performance and
result in sickness or death.
