Preconditions for use

The mask/helmet combination needs to be carefully adapted to the

equipment wearer (adjustment of the adapter slot and internal
helmet components) due to the rigid structure.
3.2 Preconditions for use with respiratory filters
Together with a respiratory filter, the full face mask forms a filtering
device. Observe the following preconditions if the full face mask is
used as a filtering device:
The ambient conditions (particularly the types and concentrations

of contaminants) must be known. Use corresponding respiratory
filters. In cases where the contaminant is unknown, only use a self-
contained open-circuit breathing apparatus or an air line breathing
apparatus.
Only use filtering devices if the air does not directly endanger the

health or life of the user.
It must be ensured that the ambient atmosphere cannot change to

the worse.
Do not use filtering devices if there is suspicion of contaminants

with low warning properties (low-odour, tasteless, no irritation of
eyes and airways). A decreasing protective effect of the filtering
device cannot be determined in this case.
Do not use filtering devices for entering unventilated tanks, mines,

canals, etc.
Do not use filtering devices in oxygen-enriched atmospheres.
