delivered with this equipment for details.

Please consult the supplier, if you have any doubt as to whether the respirator is suitable for the work at hand.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Unpacking instructions
•
Carefully remove the mask from the packaging.
•
Check that the equipment is complete and free of damage. Immediately contact your supplier in case of damage or missing items. The
mask must not be used if it is damaged or incomplete.
Storage
•
Do not store in temperatures below -20° C or above +50° C or in an atmosphere with a relative humidity above 90%.
•
Store the mask in its original packaging or in a sealed container so that it is protected from sunlight and dust.
Pre-use checks
•
Read the user instructions for the device attached to the mask.
•
Make sure that the mask is not damaged.
Putting the mask on the face (Figure 2)
•
Place the neck strap on the back of your neck, with the mask lens turned down.
•
Place the chin in the lower part of the mask and pull the harness over your head.
•
Position the centre of the harness as far back on the head as possible and gradually tighten the harness, starting with the lower straps
and then the upper straps. Do not overtighten.
•
With the palm, cover the mask connector, breathe in and hold your breath. The mask should collapse onto face and remain so as long
as breath is held. This helps to make sure that an effective seal is achieved. If the mask goes back to its initial position before you
breathe out, adjust the strap again and repeat the test.
