Important Rules for Escaping

— Begin your escape calmly; do not rush.
— Plan your escape so that you use the shortest route to safety.
— Behave calmly. Hurrying makes you breathe more quickly and uses up
more oxygen.
— Make sure that the half mask is tight (position of half mask).
— If the air from the oxygen self-rescuer is warm and dry, this is a sign that
the oxygen self-rescuer is functioning correctly.
Any off-taste is quite normal and not dangerous.
— Take care not to damage or squash the breathing bag and so
waste life-saving oxygen.
— If you have to vomit, take the mouthpiece out of your mouth but keep it
sealed with the thumb. Do not vomit into the oxygen self-rescuer.
Do not start to breathe in again until you have put the mouthpiece
back into your mouth so that you do not inhale toxic substances
from the ambient air.

End of Use

— When breathing becomes more difficult and the breathing bag begins
to deflate, the oxygen supply is coming to an end.
— Any oxygen self-rescuer used underground must be brought to the
surface.
— The hood has an anti-suffocation valve to prevent suffocation.
After escape: Unfasten head straps of half mask and remove hood.

Disposal

The oxygen self-rescuer is to be discarded after use.
