1. Failure to follow all instructions and limitations concerning the use of the respirator and/or failure to wear the respirator for the whole duration of exposure to contaminants can seriously reduce the performance characteristics of the respirator and lead to illness, injury or death.

2. Before occupational use, the wearer must first be trained by the employer in the correct use of the respirator in accordance with applicable safety and health standards.

3. OSHA standards including 29CFR1910.134 (e) (5) and CSA standard Z94.4-93 require that the wearer be fit-tested.

4. Discard the respirator and replace with a new one if:

●	excessive clogging of the respirator causes breathing difficulty;
●	the respirator becomes damaged.

Discard the respirator and replace with a new one after every use.

5. Leave the contaminated area if dizziness, irritation or other distress occurs.

USE LIMITATIONS

1. Do NOT use the respirator or enter or stay in a contaminated area under the following circumstances:

●	atmosphere contains less than 19.5% oxygen;
●	if you smell or taste a contaminant;
●	for protection against gases or vapors;
●	contaminants or their concentrations are unknown or immediately dangerous to life or health;
●	concentrations of contaminants exceed maximum use concentrations in applicable OSHA standards or applicable government regulations or 10 times the PEL (Permissible Exposure Limit), whichever is lower;
●	for sandblasting, paint-spray operations, asbestos.

2. Do NOT modify or misuse the respirator.

3. Do NOT use the respirator with beards or other facial hair that interferes with direct contact between the face and the edge of the respirator, or any other conditions that may prevent a good face-seal. “P” Series respirators are replaced when the wearer senses an increase in breathing resistance due to the filters collecting particulate matter. Replace masks frequently.

PROTECTION

●	P-series filters: effective against all particulate aerosols.
●	Carbon layer: removes nuisance levels of organic vapors (odor removal only).

Do NOT use:

●	for protection against hazardous concentrations of gases or vapors;
●	for sandblasting, paint-spray operations, asbestos.

BIOLOGICAL PARTICLES:

This respirator can help reduce inhalation exposures to certain airborne biological particles (e.g., mold, Bacillus anthracis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, etc.) but it may not eliminate the risk of contracting infection, illness or disease. OSHA and other government agencies have not established safe exposure limits for these contaminants.

DONNING and FITTING INSTRUCTIONS:

Follow these instructions each time respirator is worn.

1. Remove respirator from package and “unfold”.

2. Hold the respirator in the hand, allowing the head-straps to hang loosely in front of the mask.

3. Position the lower head strap around the neck below the ears. Hold the respirator against the face and place the top head-strap around the crown of the head.

4. Adjust head straps by grasping the locking slide and pull adjuster ring until respirator fits comfortably.

5. Fit the nose area to the shape of the face by forming the nose piece with the fingertips. Start from the top of the nose piece working downward while pressing against the nose. Always use both hands.

FIT-CHECK THE FACE-SEAL AS FOLLOWS:

●	Place both hands over the respirator - do not disturb the position of the respirator.
●	Exhale sharply to detect leakage.

WARNING:

●	If you cannot achieve satisfactory fit, do NOT enter the contaminated area. See your Supervisor.
●	This respirator helps protect against certain contaminants. It may not eliminate the risk of contracting disease or infection. Misuse may result in sickness or death.
