Place the respirator over your nose and mouth.
Be sure the metal noseclip is on top.
Pull the bottom strap over your head until it rests
below the ears at the back of your neck.
Pull the top strap over your head until it rests on
the crown of your head above your ears.
Without removing the respirator, adjust the straps
until the respirator is secure. To tighten the respirator,
gently pull the ends of both straps. To loosen the
respirator, press on the back side of the buckle.
Using both hands starting at the top, mold the
metal noseclip around your nose to achieve a
secure seal.
