USING THE RESPIRATOR
Do not wear this respirator unless
you have received training in its use
and have read all of the instructions.
Do not use this respirator in an area
that has less than 19.5% oxygen. The
PAPR does not supply oxygen. Do
not use the respirator as an under-
water device.
Do not use the respirator in an
atmosphere containing gas or vapor
contaminants. Do not use the respi-
rator if the air contaminant is
unknown or immediately dangerous
to life or health (IDLH).
The respirator filter is designed to
provide limited protection from spe-
cific contaminants. See the filter
label for specific information.
If you are working with a contami-
nant which can be absorbed by your
skin, wear protective clothing that
will not allow the contaminant to
contact your skin.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE
WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN SERI-
OUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

loops on the battery pack.
