Toxic gases without smell recognition
Filters used for toxic gases which do not have smell recognition on the clean air side require
special rules of use with reference to the time being used and the use itself. If there is any doubt
about the composition of the toxic gases, a supplied air breathing apparatus must be used.
Before use
When using gas filters, ensure that no particle-type toxic substances are present, and, when using
particle filters, that there are no toxic gases present. If this is not the case, combination filters must
be used.
The filters must be sealed and intact.
Application conditions
Filtering devices must not be used in confined spaces [containers, canals, pits, etc.].
For some applications, an additional protection for eyes and body should be considered.
After and before use, check the mask and filters and if necessary, clean and disinfect the mask
and use new filters. Always use only a complete and undamaged respiratory protective device.
The user of a filtering device must be qualified and trained in its use. The selected filter and proper
face piece must be in faultless condition and suitable for the intended application.
Open flames, metal droplets
The use of filtering devices, during work with open flames and metal droplets [e.g. welding], may
cause serious risk due to ignition of the filter media, which may generate acute levels of toxic sub-
stances.
