Use Limitations
1. These filters do not supply oxygen. Do not use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5% oxygen.
2.
Do not use when concentrations of contaminants are immediately dangerous to life and health, are unknown or when concentration exceeds 10 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) with half facepiece respirators and full facepiece respirators when qualitatively fit tested, or 50 times the PEL with full facepiece respirators when quantitatively fit tested or according to specific OSHA standards or applicable government regulations, whichever is lower.3.
Do not alter, clean (e.g. vacuum, wash, use compressed air), abuse or misuse these filters and/or respirator.4. Do not use with beards or other facial hair or other conditions that prevent a good seal between the face and the faceseal of the respirator.
Time Use Limitation
