6. Inspect respirator before each use to ensure that it is in good
operating condition. Examine all the respirator parts for signs
of damage including the two headbands, attachment points,
nose foam, and noseclip. The respirator should be disposed of
immediately upon observation of damaged or missing parts.
Filtering facepieces are to be inspected prior to each use to
assure there are no holes in the breathing zone other than the
punctures around staples and no damage has occurred. Enlarged
holes resulting from ripped or torn filter material around staple
punctures are considered damage. Immediately replace respirator
if damaged. Staple perforations do not affect NIOSH approval (For
8110S only).
7. Conduct a user seal check before each use as specified in the
Fitting Instructions section.
If you cannot achieve a proper seal,
do not use the respirator.
8. Dispose of used product in accordance with applicable regulations.
