enUS - Instructions for Use
For Your Safety
It is absolutely mandatory that you read and understand these instructions
before you use the particulate respirator and that you only use them for the
intended use described below. Failure to do so could lead to sickness or
death. If you have any questions concerning these instructions or how to
properly use the particulate respirator, ask your supervisor or call
Dräger Safety in the USA at 1-800-858-1737. In other countries, please
contact the respective Dräger subsidiary or your local dealer.
WARNING
You must read and understand these instructions for use before you
use the particulate respirator; and you must strictly follow these
instructions.
Failure to do so could lead to sickness or death.
Supervisors have to ensure that in their field of responsibility all users
are familiar with these instructions for use and will use the particulate
respirators in strict accordance with these instructions for use.
Description of the X-plore 1700 Respirator Types
The Dräger X-plore 1700 series comprises the following types of
particulate respirators:
Particulate Respirator
Dräger X-plore 1750 N95
Dräger X-plore 1750 N95 V
Dräger X-plore 1750 N95 V Odor
Dräger X-plore 1760 R95 V
Most of the particulate respirators feature an exhalation valve ("V")
which facilitates exhalation during use.
Intended Use
The particulate respirators are designed to reduce the percentage of
certain solid and liquid airborne particles that a user will inhale when
working in certain environments. The particulate respirators do NOT
eliminate the risk of inhaling airborne particles.
The X-plore 1750 particulate respirators may be used for airborne solid
particles such as from grinding, sanding, sweeping, sawing or
processing minerals; and for liquid particles or particulate aerosols that
do not contain oil. The X-plore 1760 particulate respirators may be used
for the same purposes as the X-plore 1750 and, in addition, they are
resistant to oil.
X-plore 1750 is NIOSH-rated for 95% filtration efficiency against solid
and liquid aerosols that do not contain oil ("N95"). X-plore 1760 is
NIOSH-rated for 95% filtration efficiency against solid and liquid
aerosols that do contain oil ("R95").
X-plore 1750 N95 V Odor has an additional activated-carbon filter to
provide relief from nuisance level odors of organic vapors. Nuisance
level means that the contaminant concentration is below the respective
permissible exposure limit (PEL). Do NOT use this particulate respirator
if the nuisance level exceeds the PEL.
The particulate respirators' performance characteristics - e.g. the types
and percentages of the particles that they filter - fulfill the National
Institute of Occupational Safety and Health ("NIOSH") standards set
forth at 42 CFR, Part 84. For more information see Approval Label.
WARNING
Only use the particulate respirators for the purposes
mentioned above.
Misuse could lead to sickness or death!
Limitations on Use
WARNING
Strictly obey the following limitations on use.
Failure to do so could lead to sickness or death!

8-hour work shift.
— Never use the particulate respirators in atmospheres dangerous to
life or health.
— Never use the particulate respirators in atmospheres containing less
than 19.5% oxygen, since these particulate respirators do not supply
oxygen. Do not enter unventilated areas such as containers, shafts or
ducts when wearing one of the mentioned particulate respirators.
— Never use the particulate respirators as protection against chemical,
biological, radioactive, or nuclear (CBRN) warfare hazards.
— Never use damaged or used particulate respirators.
— Never use the above mentioned particulate respirators for protection
against inhaling
— paint spray
— gases
— vapors
— asbestos particles
— silica particles
— sandblasting particles
— lead
— arsenic
— 4,4' methylene dianiline (MDA)
— cadmium
— other contaminants that are unknown, carcinogenic, or
immediately dangerous to life or health.
— Never use Dräger X-plore 1750 particulate respirators in
atmospheres containing oil aerosols.
— Never use the particulate respirators in atmospheres with
contaminant concentrations that exceed10 times the Permissible
Exposure Limit (PEL), specific OSHA standards, or other applicable
regulations, whichever is lower. For PELs please refer to NIOSH
standard 29 CFR 1910.1000.
General Warnings and Cautions
WARNING
Strictly adhere to the following warnings and cautions.
Failure to do so could lead to sickness or death!
— A properly selected particulate respirator is essential to protect your
health. Before using this particulate respirator, consult an Industrial
Hygienist or Occupational Safety Professional to determine the
suitability for your intended use.
— Particulate respirators that are properly selected and fitted will only
reduce the contaminant concentration.
— This product contains latex. It is located inside the head straps of the
respirator. If used properly, the latex in the respirator will not come
into contact with user's skin. If you are allergic to latex, you must
consult your physician before using this product.
— Do not modify or abuse the particulate respirators.
— Do not use the particulate respirators as surgical masks.
— Persons with breathing difficulties, such as asthma or with a history of
heart disease, should consult a physician and complete a medical
evaluation prior to use.
— Leave the work area if dizziness or other signs of distress occur.
— Do not use with beard or facial hair or other conditions that prevent a
good seal between the face and the sealing surface of the respirator.
— Do not share particulate respirators with other people for hygienic
reasons.
— The respirators are not designed to be used by children.
— These particulate respirators are not intended for use as protection
against bacterial or viral agents such as avian (bird) flu virus, SARS or
any other bacterial, viral or biological agents.
— Respirators must be used in accordance with a complete respiratory

— Never remove your respirator when you are in contaminated areas!
The outer surface of the respirator must be treated as if it is
contaminated at all times. Wash hands immediately after removing the
respirator.
Mandatory Pre-Use Precautions
The following pre-use precautions have to be taken.
Failure to do so could lead to sickness or death!
— Before using a respirator, you must:
— fully understand the environment in which you intend to use it.
For example, you must take measurements with appropriate
measuring devices to determine type and concentration of the
airborne particles, gases, or vapors you will encounter. You must
then choose a respirator that is appropriate for that environment
taking the respective PELs into account.
— take measurements to ensure that the ambient atmosphere
contains at least 19.5 vol. % oxygen (see "Limitations on Use").
— make sure to use only respirators that have been stored in their
original boxes. The expiry date must not have been reached (see
label on packaging).
— check the respirator for scratches, tears or other signs of
damage, and discard the respirator if any damage is found.
— make sure a fit test according to OSHA regulation 1910.134 has
taken place prior to using the respirator.
— be thoroughly trained.
— Strictly follow all applicable government regulations concerning the
use of particulate respirators (promulgated by the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration at 29 CFR, Part 1910.134).
— Ensure adequate eye and head protection.

Duration of Use
The number of hours that the particulate respirators may be used
depends on several factors, including the concentration of
contaminants in the air, and the amount of work that the user is
performing. The respirator must be replaced as soon as the user
notices that there is noticeably increased breathing resistance - in other
words, when you can no longer inhale easily and comfortably. Under no
circumstances may the respirator be used for more than 8 hours.
— Never use an individual respirator for more than one single 8-hour
work shift.
— Never use a damaged, used, or expired respirator.
— Replace the respirator as soon as you notice any difficulty in
inhaling.
Failure to follow this warning could lead to sickness or death!
Preparation for Use
• Decide which respirator best suits your purpose.
Use and Donning
• Remove the particulate respirator from its packaging.
• Prior to use, make sure that there are no holes in the breathing zone.
• Hold the particulate respirator in your hand, allowing the head straps
to hang below your hand (see figure A).
• Position the particulate respirator under your chin and over your nose
(see figure B). Stretch lower strap over your head to the neck. Position
upper strap high on the back of your head.
• Using both hands, adjust the nose clip to the shape of your nose (see
figure C). Using only one hand could result in improper fit.
• Cup both hands over the particulate respirator and exhale vigorously
(see figure D).
If air escapes at the sides of the particulate respirator, adjust the par-
ticulate respirator until it fits properly. Make sure that the nose clip fits
the shape of your nose.
If you cannot achieve satisfactory fit, do NOT enter the contaminated
area. See your supervisor.
Failure to do so could lead to sickness or death.
Maintenance
