Before fitting the respirator mask, ensure hands are clean. All respirator components should be inspected for damage prior to each use. 

1. Cup respirator in one hand with nosepiece at fingertips, allow headbands to hang freely below hand. 
2. Hold the respirator under the chin, with the nosepiece up.
3. Locate the upper strap across the crown of the head and the lower strap below the ears. 
4. Straps must not be twisted.
5. Using both hands, mould noseclip to the shape of the nose to ensure a close fit and good seal. Pinching the noseclip using only one hand may result in less effective respirator performance. 
6. The seal of the respirator on the face should be fit-checked before entering the workplace.

Warnings & Use Limitations

• Inspect respirator before each use to ensure it is in good working condition. Examine all the respirator parts for signs of damage including the two straps, noseclip, nose foam and staples. The respirator should be disposed of immediately upon observation of damaged or missing parts.
• Do not alter, repair, wash, and abuse or misuse the respirator.
• Do not use with beards or other facial hair or conditions that prevent a good seal between the face and the sealing edge of the respirator.
• The respirator can help protect the wearer’s lungs against certain airborne contaminants; however, it will not prevent entry through other routes such as the skin or eyes, which would require additional personal protective equipment (PPE). 
• The respirator is designed for occupational/professional use by adults who are properly trained in its use and limitations. The respirator is not designed to be used by children.
• Maximum Operating Temperature: +50 degrees Celsius. 
• The filtration efficiency of the respirator may decrease in the presence of oily mists.
