INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND CARE
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
This gas mask, when properly used, removes harmful gases, vapors (NIOSH
approved for CN, chloroacetophenone and CS, chlorobenzylidene malononitrile)
and all particulate aerosols, including oil based aerosols, (listed on the canister
label) from the inhaled air. Inhaled air is drawn through the canister which con-
tains chemicals and a P100 filter that removes or neutralizes the contaminants.
The air is then drawn through the facepiece, where it passes over the lens (to
minimize fogging) before it is taken into the lungs. Exhaled air leaves the face-
piece through an exhalation valve and consequently is not rebreathed.
1. This device does NOT supply oxygen, and must only be used in ade-
quately ventilated areas containing at least 19.5 percent oxygen.
2. This respirator must be used in conjunction with the proper canister for
protection against specific contaminants.
3. Leave area immediately if:
A. Breathing becomes difficult.
B. Dizziness or other distress occurs.
C. You taste or smell contaminant.
D. You experience eye, nose or throat irritation.
4. Use strictly in accordance with instructions, labels and limitations per-
taining to this device.
5. This respirator may not provide a satisfactory seal with certain facial
characteristics, such as beards or large sideburns, that prevent direct
contact between the skin and the sealing surface of the facepiece. Do
not use this respirator if such conditions exist.
