WARNINGS & LIMITATIONS
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO USERS
You are responsible to understand and follow all warnings, restrictions and other information
contained in this instruction manual before you enter a contaminated work area. Failure to do so
may result in sickness or death.
USE AGAINST
1. Contaminants specified on NIOSH approval label, matrix, cartridges or filters and in accordance
with all limitations and applicable safety and health regulations, including OSHA.
2. Contaminants with good warning properties, i.e., smell, taste or irritation.
DO NOT USE AGAINST
1. Concentrations of contaminants which are unknown, or are immediately dangerous to life or
health.
2. Concentrations of contaminants which exceed the maximum use concentration or 50X the OSHA
Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL), or according to applicable government regulations.
3. Gases or vapors with poor warning properties or those which generate high heats of reaction.
4. Sandblasting.
5. Oil-based mists with N filters.
WARNING TO USER
1. Follow all instructions and warnings on the use of this respirator and wear during all times of
exposure. Failure to do so will reduce respirator effectiveness, wearer protection, and
may result
in sickness or death.
2. For proper use, ask your supervisor.
3. The user must first be trained by the employer in proper respirator use, in accordance with
applicable safety and health standards, for the contaminant and exposure level in the assigned
work area. It must meet all requirements of all applicable standards, including OSHA 29 CFR
1910.134, and in Canada CSAZ 94.4, e.g. training, fit testing, medical evaluation, and applicable
OSHA substance specific standards.
4. The vapors, gases, dusts, mists, fumes, and other contaminants, which can be dangerous to your
health, include those which you cannot see, taste, or smell.
5. Check with your supervisor for the appropriate cartridges and/or filters for the contaminants in
your work area.
6. A qualitative or quantitative fit test must be performed before a respirator is assigned. Refer to
current OSHA 29 CRF 1910.134 (f).
RESTRICTIONS
1. This respirator does not supply oxygen and must not be used in atmospheres containing less
than 19.5% oxygen.
2. Do not remain in contaminated area if any physical distress occurs, for example breathing
difficulty, dizziness or nausea.
3. Leave contaminated area and replace respirator and/or cartridge or filter if it is damaged,
distorted, a proper fit cannot be obtained, you taste, smell or become irritated by contaminants,
or breathing becomes difficult.
4. Do not alter, modify, or abuse this respirator.
5. Dispose of facepiece, and/or cartridge and disks/filters according to your employer’s policy and
applicable regulations.
6. N, R or P filters are required for particulates.
7.
When oil mists are present,
either alone or in combination with solid particulates. Do not use the
R filters for longer than one eight-hour shift. Dispose no later than eight hours after first use, do
not exceed 50X PEL depending on whether the user was quantitatively or qualitatively fit tested
(see Do Not Use Against, Item 2) and 200 mg loading per respirator. It is the user’s responsibility
to know the PEL and concentration of the contaminant, the maximum work rate of the employee,
and any other work site-specific information to calculate the loading of the filter. Where oil mists
are present do not use N filters.
8. Dispose of all cartridges no later than thirty days after a) first use, and/or b) removing from
sealed packaging.
9. Use cartridges, filters, and facepieces before the “use by” expiration date printed on packaging.
