11. If you have any questions concerning the use of this respirator, or if you are not sure whether the atmosphere you
are working in is immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH), ask your employer. All instructions for the use and
care of this product must be supplied to you by your employer as recommended by the manufacturer and as required
by Federal Law (29 CFR 1910.134).
12. Do not use this respirator for underwater diving.
13. Leave work area immediately if:
-Any respirator component becomes damaged.
-Airflow into respirator stops or slows down.
- Air pressure gauge drops below the minimum specified in the Breathing Air Pressure Table in the 88VX Series User
Manual.
-Breathing becomes difficult.
-You become dizzy, nauseous, too hot, too cold, or ill.
-You taste, smell, or see contaminants inside the respirator hood.
-Your vision becomes impaired.
14. Historically, the incidence of disease from overexposure to toxic substances almost always occurs because the
OSHA regulations and industry standards applicable to the work practices involved are not followed. It is, therefore,
imperative that the employer acquaint itself with and follow all of these standards and regulations. REMEMBER:
- Respiratory protection is but one component of safe work practices. To minimize the chances of overexposure, all
safety regulations and standards must be followed; and
- Respiratory protection is the last line of defense to be employed. The employer must first eliminate or minimize the
levels of toxic substances in the work place by accepted engineering control measures. Assuming the employer and
the wearer do their part, this respirator should provide the wearer with an adequate degree of protection.
