FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these instructions each time respirator is worn.
1. Hold the respirator in one hand with the nosepiece at your fingertips, allowing the headbands to hang
below your hand.
2. Press the respirator against your face with the nosepiece on the bridge of your nose.
3. Place the top band high on the back of your head. Move the bottom band over your head and position
it below your ears.
4. Using both hands, mould the nosepiece to the shape of your nose.
5. Test the fit. Cup both hands over the respirator and exhale vigorously. If air flows around your nose,
tighten the nosepiece. If air leaks around the edges, reposition the bands for better fit.
6. Fit-check the face-seal as follows:
• Place both hands over the respirator without disturbing its position.
• If the respirator is not fitted with an exhalation valve, exhale sharply.
• If the respirator is fitted with an exhalation valve, inhale sharply (a negative pressure should be felt
inside the respirator).
• If you detect air-leaks, readjust the head straps and/or the position.
WARNING:
If you cannot achieve satisfactory fit, do NOT enter the contaminated area. See your
Supervisor.
