Before Use - Spasciani M 900 ABEK 15 Instrucciones De Uso

•
Different filters depending on the model, to offer different types of protection:
Gas filter type 901 ABEK against organic gas and vapours with boiling point 65°C, inorganic gas and
▪
vapours, acid and alkaline gases.
Combined filter type 901 ABEK P, against organic gas and vapours with boiling point 65°C, inorganic gas
▪
and vapours, acid and alkaline gases, against dust, smoke and mist with protection factor equivalent to a
class P2 filter.
2. DESIGNED USE
Spasciani M 900 ABEK 15 and M 900 ABEK P 15 escape respirators are designed for use in sudden leaks from
industrial plants, due to accidents or other reasons, of toxic substances for the respiratory tract. These
substances may be organic or inorganic gas and vapours, sulphur dioxide, hydrochloric acid and other acid
gases, ammonia and its derivates, and dust, smoke and mist. The masks are suitable for a leak lasting 15
minutes and can only be used once. They do not protect from Carbon Monoxide!
Icon
As Atex devices, they bear the marking shown below and can be used in the described fields:
II 1G Ex h IIC T6 Ga → Non-electrical devices for use in the surface industry, where there is the
possibility that explosive atmospheres due to the presence of gas occur - Zone 0
II 1D Ex h IIIC T85°C Da → Non-electrical devices for use in the surface industry, where there is the
possibility that explosive atmospheres due to the presence of dust occur - Zone 20
3. LIMITATIONS TO USE
•
Only use if the surrounding air has an oxygen volume content between 17 and 21% (or as specified in
current national laws).
•
Do not use the device to evacuate silos or confined spaces generally.
•
Do not use the M 900 ABEK15 and M 900 ABEK P 15 respirators if carbon monoxide is present (CO).
•
These devices are disposable and must not be used more than once.
•
The device leaktightness depends on the size and shape of the user's face, e.g. beard, sideburns, deep scars,
could all affect the perfect leaktightness between the mask edge and the face.
•
The respirator can only be used for leaks or self-preservation operations and only if there is a risk of toxic
substances in not very high concentrations (if there are high concentrations of toxic substances the usage
time could be reduced).
•
The device provides limited protection against solvents with low boiling point.
•
The half-mask allows wearing goggles. As it is a half-mask, however, it does not protect the user's eyes or
skin, which could therefore be attacked by toxic substances in the air that is being breathed.
•
As soon as you smell or taste the pollutants, leave the area: this means the filter is saturated.
4. USE

4.1. Before use

Visually check the package before use. If the seal is torn, do not use the respirator. If the plastic container is
damaged, cracked or open, do not use the respirator. Always check the expiry date on the container label.
4.2. Use (See Fig.1, 2, 3, 4)
• Open the container: with your thumb, push up the lever to release the hooking system, as shown in Fig. 1,
and tear the seal.
• Remove the half-mask, but do not pull it by the valve or elastic, as shown in Fig. 2.
• Place the half-mask over your face, pass the harness around your neck taking care that the straps do not
get twisted, as shown in fig. 3, then adjust them by pulling the ends, not too tight, until the mask is perfectly
tightened (fig. 4).
• Once you are wearing the mask, find the escape route. Breathe calmly. The intake air might be warm, this
is a sign the mask is working and the filter is filtering correctly.
