Special Instructions

These respirators do not supply oxygen. DO NOT use in oxygen deficient atmospheres (e.g. tanks or other poorly ventilated areas). The lifetime of a filter depends on many factors including the work rate, the air flow and the concentration of the contaminant in the atmosphere. A dust mask should be discarded and replaced with a new one if:

• The respirator is removed while in a contaminated area.
• Excessive clogging of the respirator causes breathing difficulty or discomfort.
• The respirator becomes damaged.
• The unused respirators are not in their protective packaging (once open they
  are activated).

All respiratory equipment should be chosen in conjunction with BS EN 529:2005 “Respiratory Protective devises – Recommendations for selection, use, care and maintenance”.

Do not use these respirators or enter in an area where:

• The Oxygen concentration is not known or is less than 19%.
• Contaminants or their concentrations are unknown or are known to be
  immediately dangerous to life or health.
• Particulate concentrations exceed levels fixed by the applicable health and
  safety regulations or protection factors x NPF, whichever is lower.
  (Nominal protection factors: 4.5 for FFP1, 12.5 for FFP2 and, 50 for FFP3)
• Gases and/or vapours are present except for respirators designated as
  protecting against vapours, in which case vapour concentrations should not
  exceed 4.5 NPF.
• The requirement for leak tightness is unlikely to be achieved if worn against
  a beard or facial stubble.
• Do not use in explosive atmospheres.
• Not to be used for firefighting.

When transporting this product, retain in its original packaging and keep away from mechanical and chemical hazards.
