How to Use
- With clean hands, hold the respirator with the nose clip at the top and cup it in your hand.
- Place over nose and mouth; pull the head straps over the head to sit comfortably above and below the ears.
- Press the nose clip to conform closely to the nose bridge.
- Perform a seal check: exhale sharply; if leakage is detected around the edges, readjust and repeat.
- Replace the mask if it becomes damaged, difficult to breathe through, or after the work shift.
Do not use in oxygen‑deficient atmospheres (e.g., poorly ventilated spaces) or where oxygen is < 19%.

FAQs
Is this mask reusable? No. It is marked “NR” and is intended for a single work shift only.
Does it protect against gases or vapours? No. It is a particle‑filtering half mask for aerosols and dusts only.
Can I use it with facial hair? A clean‑shaven face is required to achieve an effective seal.
