Do Not Use For
Atmospheres with less than 19.5% oxygen, concentrations of contaminants which are immediately
dangerous to life or health, are unknown or when concentrations exceed the use limitations for the
cartridge/filter and facepiece specified in OSHA standards or applicable government regulations,
whichever is lower or exposure to industrial chemicals not included in the NIOSH approval.
Use Instructions
1.
Failure to follow all instructions and limitations on the use of this respirator and/or failure to wear this
respirator during all times of exposure can reduce respirator effectiveness and may result in sickness

Use Limitations
1.
Do not use this respirator when the concentration of contaminants is unknown or immediately
dangerous to life or health (IDLH).
2.
Do not use when concentrations exceed 10 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) when
qualitatively fit tested or 50 times the PEL when quantitatively fit tested, or according to specific OSHA
standards or applicable government regulations, whichever is lower.
3.
This respirator does not supply oxygen when used in the air-purifying mode. Do not use in
atmospheres containing less then 19.5% oxygen.
4.
Do not alter, abuse or misuse this respirator.
5.
Do not use with beards or other facial hair or other conditions that prevent a good seal between the
face and the faceseal of the respirator.
