1. Keep elastic strap flat (untwisted) and thread the top elastic strap through the top buckle. Repeat for the
bottom elastic strap. Place the bottom elastic strap around the head, just below the ears. Untwist the strap.
2. Pull the top strap over your head, resting it above the ears at the top back of your head. Untwist the strap.
3. Adjust the strap tension by pulling the straps as shown (Fig. 3a). Strap tension may be decreased without
removing respirator from the head by pushing out on the back of the buckle (Fig. 3b).
4. Place your fingertips from both hands at the top of the metal nosepiece. Using two hands, mold the nose
area to the shape of your nose by pushing inward while moving your fingertips down both sides of the
nosepiece.
! Pinching the nosepiece using one hand may result in improper fit and less effective respirator
performance. Use two hands.
5. Perform a User Seal Check prior to each wearing. To check the respirator-to-face seal, place both hands
completely over the respirator and inhale sharply. Be careful not to disturb the position of the respirator.
A negative pressure should be felt inside the respirator. If any leakage is detected, readjust the position of
the respirator according to Steps #3 and #4. If you CANNOT achieve a proper fit, DO NOT enter the
contaminated area. See your supervisor.
