1
Prepare To Use Respirator
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water or an alcohol-
based hand cleaner before handling.
• Inspect respirator for holes, tears or other damage to surfaces,
straps, metal nose strip and nose foam. Get a new respirator if
damaged.
• Remember, nothing should be between your face and the
respirator, including hair, facial hair, jewelry, clothing, etc.
• If you wear glasses, read steps 2 through 4, then remove glasses
before putting on the respirator.
2
Place Respirator On Face
• Place respirator against
your face, with the bottom
under chin and metal nose
strip across bridge of nose.
3
Adjust The Metal Nose Strip
• Use both hands to bend the metal nose strip to fit snugly against
your nose and face. The respirator may not fit as well if you pinch
the metal nose strip using one hand. Use two hands.
• Slide fingers down both sides of metal nose strip to seal it against
your nose and face.
4
Check The Respirator-To-Face Seal
Remember: Putting the respirator on correctly means more of the air that you
breathe goes through the respirator filter.
Completely cover the outside of the respirator with both hands.
Do not push the respirator against your face. With your hands in
place on the surface of the respirator, exhale or breathe out sharply.
If you feel air blowing on your face or eyes, the respirator needs to
be adjusted. To adjust, repeat steps 2,3 and 4. When the respirator
has a good fit, you will not feel any air blowing on your face or eyes.
If you can't get a good fit, try a different model respirator. Return
glasses to face, if applicable.
