3M™ N95 1860 and 1860S Cupped Particulate Respirator & Surgical Mask - Box of 20

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.
