containing at least 19.5% oxygen.
2. Do not use when concentrations of contaminants are immediately dangerous to
life or health (IDLH), i.e. – one for which the wearer cannot escape without the
aid of a respirator without suffering injury either immediate or long term. See
29CFR 1910.134 (b).
3. Do not use this respirator for respiratory protection during abrasive blasting or
clean up.

c. You taste or smell the contaminant
d. Unit becomes damaged
