Before occupational use of this respirator a written respiratory protection program must be implemented meeting all
the local government requirements. In the United States employers must comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 which
includes medical evaluation, training, and fit testing.
FITTING (FIG. 1, 2, 3, 4)
The respirator must be inspected by the wearer before and after each use to ensure that it is in good working
condition and valves and filters are seated correctly. Remove eyewear (if worn). If facial hair goes beyond the border
of the mask an effective seal will not be achieved and a powered respirator will be required. NOTE: OSHA regulations
require that all users be fit tested prior to use either qualitatively or quantitatively.
STEP 1 (FIG. 1): Grasp the respirator with one hand and the lower headband with the other hand, put the headband
over your head and allow to rest around the neck.
STEP 2 (FIG. 2): Place the respirator over mouth and nose then lift the upper headband over the crown of your head
to support the respirator.
STEP 3 (FIG. 3): Grip lower headband ends at the respirator buckle and gently pull towards back of head to tighten.
STEP 4 (FIG. 4): Grip upper headband ends at the respirator buckle, and gently pull towards back of head to tighten.
Check respirator is seated correctly when tight enough to prevent air leakage between respirator and face.
STEP 5: POSITIVE PRESSURE FACE FIT CHECK: Place the palm of your hand over the exhalation valve and exhale
moderately. If the face piece bulges slightly and no air leaks between the face and the face piece are detected, a
proper fit has been achieved. If air leakage is detected, reposition the respirator on the face and/or readjust the elastic
strap to eliminate the leakage.

WARNINGS
DO NOT WASH FILTERS.
Clean face-piece assembly periodically with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water (no solvents). This will form
part of the face mask maintenance and should be logged. Deep cleaning will entail:
• Disassemble mask by removing the filters, head straps and valves.
• Immerse in warm water and scrub with a soft brush. A neutral detergent can be used if necessary.
• The mask can also be soaked in a disinfectant for a short period of time.
• All parts should then be rinsed in clean, warm water and allowed to air dry in a non-contaminated atmosphere.
The mask should be stored out of direct sunlight, away from sources of high temperature, and in an uncontaminated
environment. Spare filters should also be stored in a cool dry atmosphere at a temperature of between 14°F (-10°C)
and 104°F (40°C). Storage under conditions other than those specified may affect shelf life.
FILTER INSPECTION & REPLACEMENT
Filters should be changed once a month or more frequently if you find a resistance to breathing. A maintenance
record should be kept of these filter changes. Filter fitting instructions are supplied with replacement filters (please
refer for full details). Each filter pack is individually marked with the month and year of shelf life expiration. Shelf life
is 5 years for P100 filters. Filters must be discarded when they reach their shelf life date.
