WARNING Following is a partial list of materials for which these respirators MUST NOT be used. This list is far from complete. Contact Sperian for informa- tion on other materials. The failure to comply with this warning may lead to personal injury, illness, or death.
WARNING Filters improperly used or improperly assembled to the facepiece could cause leakage, which could lead to personal injury, illness, or death. C. Cartridge/Filter Installation 1. Ensure that you have the correct cartridge and/or filter type for the contami- nants in your work area. If you are not sure, consult your supervisor or safety professional.
Alternatively, the cartridges may be removed to perform the fit check. If removed, Sperian recommends someone other than yourself reinstall them after a leak-tight fit is achieved. It is difficult for the wearer to reinstall the cartridges without disturbing the facepiece-to-face seal and to determine whether the cartridges are correctly seated against the facepiece.
VIII. HOW TO USE THE RESPIRATOR To receive the maximum protection available from your respirator, you must read, understand, and follow all the Warnings, limitations, and instructions contained in this manual and follow your employer’s instructions on the use and maintenance of the respirator.
Sperian recommends, due to considerations of hygiene, that all filters be replaced at least daily, and more often if necessary. Filters should also be replaced in accordance with schedules estab- lished by regulatory agencies.
NOTE Washing the lens will remove any user-applied anti-fog coating. Recoat with Sperian Anti-fog solution, P/N 951015 (1 oz.), or 951016 (16 oz.), or use Sperian single-use anti-fog wipes, P/N 981803. 8. After cleaning, apply three drops of anti-fog solution as required to the inner surface of the lens and spread with your finger.
WARNING • This SPERIAN respirator does not have a defined storage life. Carefully inspect it before each use. • The failure to comply with this warning may lead to personal injury, illness, or death.
