(PEL) or according to specific OSHA standards or applicable government regulations, whichever
is lower.*
3. Do not alter, wash, abuse or misuse this respirator.
4. Do not use with beards or other facial hair or other conditions that prevent a good seal
between the face and the sealing surface of the respirator.

personal protective equipment (PPE).

Storage Conditions and Shelf Life
Before use, store respirators in the original packaging away from contaminated areas, dust, sunlight,
extreme temperatures, excessive moisture and damaging chemicals. When stored in accordance with
temperature and humidity conditions specified below, the product may be used until the “use by”
date specified on packaging. Always inspect product and conduct a user seal check before use as
specified in the User Instructions. If you cannot achieve a proper seal, do not use the respirator.
*For Use in China: Do not use for oil based particles. Do not use for particles in concentrations that exceed
the maximum allowable concentration required by the applicable regulation and standard. The maximum
allowable concentration is obtained by multiplying the Assigned Protection Factor (APF) provided by
GB/T 18664 “Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Equipment” and the permissible
Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) of the contaminant.
