of toxic contaminants is known to be, and will continue to be,
below the Maximum Use Concentration recommended for this res-

• For fire fighting.
3. Do NOT use this respirator when conditions prevent a good face-
piece-to-face seal. For example:
i) the growth of beards, mustaches or sideburns which will pass
between the facepiece sealing area and the face;
ii) the use of spectacles, goggles or other devices which interfere
with the respirator;
iii)the use of head or face coverings which contain materials which
will pass between the facepiece sealing area and the face; and
iv)missing teeth or dentures, facial deformities or deep scars.
4. Immediately leave the contaminated area if:
i) breathing becomes difficult;
ii) dizziness or other distress occurs;
iii)you smell, taste or sense irritation from the contaminants; or
iv)the respirator becomes damaged.
5. Any air purifying respirator, when properly selected and fitted, will sig-
nificantly reduce, but will not completely eliminate, the breathing of
contaminant(s) by the respirator wearer. When working in atmos-
pheres containing substances which are reported to cause cancer in
amounts below their permissible exposure standard, you will obtain
better protection from a continuous flow or positive pressure air sup-
plied respirator.
6. This respirator does not provide protection to exposed areas of the
body. If the contaminated atmosphere contains vapors, gases or air-
borne particulate matter which may either irritate or burn the eyes or
the skin, or can be absorbed by the body through penetration of the
skin, the use of specialized eye, hand and/or body coverings may be
required for protection.
