of pliable silicone rubber with two connectors for attaching particulate filters, gas

taminant protection.
WARNING
• The employer is responsible for establishing that this respirator is suit -
able for the user’s application.
• Sperian cannot predict what will happen to this respirator in every po -
tential environment. Materials can be chemically attacked if exposed to
the wrong environment and may exhibit excessive corrosion or other
forms of damage. Permeation or penetration of gases, liquids, or par-
ticles through the materials could be excessive. Extremes of tempera -
ture might cause thermal degradation. Each of these things, or a combi -
nation of them, could create conditions in which this Sperian respirator
would be dangerous to use.
• Before entering a hazardous environment while wearing this respirator,
you must conduct safe, scientific tests to determine if the environment
could render the equipment unsafe. Results of this testing should be
well documented. Seek the help of a certified safety professional or
industrial hygienist. DO NOT USE this equipment if the user would be
endangered in any way through environmentally induced degradation
of the materials in the apparatus.
• All persons using this Sperian breathing apparatus must be made
aware of its limitations. We cannot be responsible for any damage to
property, personal injury, or death in which environmental exposure is
a contributing factor.
• Do not use this respirator in environments where the concentrations
of contaminants are unknown or are immediately dangerous to life or
health (IDLH). IDLH atmospheres are defined as:
a. Those which the wearer could not breathe for short periods.
b. Those from which the wearer could not escape without the aid of
the respirator.
c. Those which have an immediate or delayed adverse effect on
health.
• This respirator must be worn and used as specified in instructions.
• Do not use this respirator if you have health or respiratory problems as
identified by 29 CFR 1910.134 (appendix C) medical evaluation ques -
tionaire or by a medical professional.
• Do not use this respirator without the appropriate Sperian cartridges
and/or filters securely attached onto the facepiece. Always read car -
tridge labels prior to use and be certain that you have cartridges and/or
filters that will provide the required protection. This respirator must be
used for protection against only those air contaminants listed on the air
purifying cartridge, filter, and/or the NIOSH approval label. Respirators
labeled for protection against particulates only shall not be used for
gases/vapors. Respirators labeled for protection against gases/vapors
only shall not be used for particulates.
