Use Instructions

1) Failure to follow all instructions and limitations on the use of this respirator and/or failure to wear this respirator during
all times of exposure can reduce respirator effectiveness and may result in sickness or death.
2) In the U.S., before occupational use of this respirator, a written respiratory protection program must be implemented
meeting all the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134, such as training, fit testing, medical evaluation, and applicable
OSHA substance specific standards. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4 requirements must be met and/or requirements
of the applicable jurisdiction, as appropriate. Follow all applicable local regulations.
3) The particles which can be dangerous to your health include those so small that you cannot see them.
4) Leave the contaminated area immediately and contact supervisor if dizziness, irritation, or other distress occurs.
5) Store the respirator away from contaminated areas when not in use.
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).
Conduct a user seal check before each use as specified in the Fitting Instructions section. If you cannot achieve a

Use Limitations

1) This respirator does not supply oxygen. Do not use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5% oxygen.
2) Do not use when concentrations of contaminants are immediately dangerous to life and health, are unknown or when
concentrations exceed 10 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) or according to specific OSHA standards or appli-
cable government regulations, whichever is lower.
3) Do not alter, wash, abuse or misuse this respirator.
4) Do not use with beards or other facial hair or other conditions that prevent a good seal between the face and the sealing
surface of the respirator.
5) Respirators can help protect your lungs against certain airborne contaminants. They will not prevent entry through other
routes such as the skin, which would require additional personal protective equipment (PPE).
6) This respirator is designed for occupational/professional use by adults who are properly trained in its use and limitations.
This respirator is not designed to be used by children.
7) Individuals with a compromised respiratory system, such as asthma or emphysema, should consult a physician and must
