CAUTION
DANGER
● Do NOT use this respirator in oxygen-deficient environment (where
the concentration of oxygen is less than 18%) or workplaces where
the concentration of oxygen is unknown or toxic gas exists.
Misuse will result in death or acute intoxication due to lack of oxygen
and/or gas inhalation. Use supplied air respirator in such environment.
● Do NOT use this respirator in workplaces categorized as
"Working environment with a possibility of exposure to
radioactive materials due to spillage or related emergency
works," "Working environment involving asbestos removal
where the use of particulate respirators categorized under
categories other than Category 4 is required," "Working
environment with a possibility of exposure to dioxins, etc.," or
"Any works corresponding to these works."
For these works, use proper respiratory protective devices such as
particulate respirators categorized under RS3 or RL3.
WARNING
l Do NOT use the respirator in the high-temperature environment where
the respirator itself becomes remarkably hot or in the low-temperature
environment where moisture from the exhaled breath becomes frozen.
Deforming of parts or freezing may cause exhalation valve etc. to
malfunction, resulting in leakage of toxic substances into the respirator.
l Make sure that facepiece is well fit on the face.
Check the fit of the facepiece according to the "Performing fit test" (page 2).
l Airtight cannot be maintained under the following conditions,
which may cause hazardous substances to leak into the facepiece.
Do NOT use the respirator until improvements are made.
• There is beard, sideburns, and/or hair that come inside the face-
contacting area of the respirator.
• There is mustache and/or chin beard that interfere the operation of
the exhalation valve.

gouging, use a dust hood together with a faceshield.
There is a possibility that spatters or sparks leak through the gap
