Fitting Instructions
Disposable respirators are only effective when there is a good seal between the edges of the respirator and your face. If the seal is poor,
protection is compromised as contaminated air can leak in through any gaps.
These fitting instructions must be followed each time a 3M
Make sure that your face is clean shaven. Respirators should not
be worn with stubble, beards or other facial hair under the area
of the face seal as these can prevent a good seal to the face.
Make sure that long hair is tied back and jewellery is removed
so that it does not interfere with the seal to the face.

6. Perform a fit-check by covering the front of the respirator
with both hands taking care not to disturb its fit.
If you're using an unvalved respirator, exhale sharply.
If you're using a valved respirator, inhale sharply.
If air leaks around the nose, readjust the noseclip to eliminate
leakage then repeat the fit check. If air leaks at the respirator
edges, work the straps back along the sides of the head to
eliminate leakage then repeat the fit check. If you cannot
achieve a proper fit, DO NOT enter the hazardous area.
