WARNING─Continued
• Some individuals are sensitive to
chemicals (e.g., isocyanates or paint
hardeners, latex, oil mists, etc.) or may
have some type of respiratory disor
-
der (e.g., asthma, chronic obstructive
airway disease, etc.). If you are sensi
-
tive to any chemical or have a respira
-
tory disorder, you may have a severe
reaction at contaminant levels well
below accepted health levels, such as
the OSHA Permissible Exposure Lim
-
it (PEL), AIHA Threshold Limit Value
(TLV), or the NIOSH Recommended Ex
-
posure Limits (REL). Many chemicals
(e.g., isocyanates, mercury, etc.) have
no physical warning properties and you
cannot taste or smell the contaminants
even though they may be present in the
respirator facepiece. This respirator will
reduce, but will not eliminate the possi-
bility of contaminants entering the face
-
piece and causing a severe reaction. Do
not use this respirator if you have been
sensitized from previous exposure or
believe that you may be sensitive or al
-
lergic to any chemical until you obtain
clearance from a medical doctor.
• Users must clean and maintain this
respirator only in accordance with
SPERIAN’s instructions. Accessories
not offered by SPERIAN may degrade
performance, and will void NIOSH cer
-
tification.

contains natural rubber latex which
may cause allergic reactions in some
individuals. Discontinue use if you ex
-
perience an allergic reaction.
• Discontinue use if you experience skin
irritation or discoloration.
• FAILURE TO OBSERVE ALL WARN
-
INGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PER
