unknown.
THIS RESPIRATOR DOES NOT
SUPPLY OXYGEN Do not use in an
oxygen deficient atmosphere
containing less than 19% by volume
under normal atmospheric pressure.

protective equipment.
The wearing of beards, sideburns,
moustaches or spectacles may
adversely affect sealing of the mask to
the wearers face or the operation of the
exhalation valve.
At very high work rates, pressure
inside the facemask may become
negative at peak inhalation.
Altering or modifying this respirator
invalidates all approvals and may
reduce wearer protection.

while in use, do not remove respirator,
breathe normally. The respirator will
continue to provide a high degree of
protection, acting as a standard
negative pressure filter equipment.
