Do Not Use For
Do not use for gases and vapors, oil aerosols, asbestos, or sandblasting; particulate concentrations that exceed either 10 times
the occupational exposure limit or applicable government regulations, whichever is lower. In the U.S., do not use when the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) substance specic standards, such as those for, arsenic, cadmium, lead
in the construction industry, or 4,4’-methylene dianiline (MDA), specify other types of respiratory protection. This respirator
does not supply oxygen.
Biological Particles
This respirator can help reduce inhalation exposures to certain airborne biological particles (e.g. mold, Bacillus anthracis,
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, etc.) but cannot eliminate the risk of contracting infection, illness or disease. OSHA and other
government agencies have not established safe exposure limits for these contaminants.
Use Instructions
1. Failure to follow all instructions and limitations on the use of this respirator and/or failure to wear this respirator during all
times of exposure can reduce respirator effectiveness and may result in sickness or death.
2. In the U.S., before occupational use of this respirator, a written respiratory protection program must be implemented
meeting all the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 such as training, t testing, medical evaluation, and applicable
OSHA substance specic standards. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4 requirements must be met and/or requirements of the
applicable jurisdiction, as appropriate. Follow all applicable local regulations.
3. The particles which can be dangerous to your health include those so small that you cannot see them.
4. Leave the contaminated area immediately and contact supervisor if dizziness, irritation, or other distress occurs.
5. Store the respirator away from contaminated areas when not in use.
6. Inspect respirator before each use to ensure that it is in good operating condition. Examine all the respirator parts for
signs of damage including the two headbands, staples, exhalation valve and noseclip. The respirator should be disposed
of immediately upon observation of damaged or missing parts. Filtering facepieces are to be inspected prior to each use
to assure there are no holes in the breathing zone other than the punctures around staples and no damage has occurred.
Enlarged holes resulting from ripped or torn lter material around staple punctures are considered damage. Immediately
replace respirator if damaged. Staple perforations do not affect NIOSH approval.

do not use the respirator.
