3. Adjust the strap tension by pulling the straps as shown (3a).  Strap tension may be decreased without

removing respirator from the head by pushing out on the back of the buckle (3b).

4. Place your fingertips from both hands at the top of the metal nosepiece.  Mold the nose area to the

shape of your nose by pushing inward while moving your fingertips down both sides of the nosepiece.

 Pinching the nosepiece using one hand may result in improper fit and less effective respirator

performance.  Use two hands.

5. Perform a User Seal Check prior to each wearing.  To check the respirator-to-face seal, place both

hands completely over the respirator and inhale sharply.  Be careful not to disturb the position of the
respirator.  A negative pressure should be felt inside the respirator.  If any leakage is detected, readjust
the position of the respirator according to Steps #3 and #4.  

If you CANNOT achieve a proper fit, DO

NOT enter the contaminated area.  See your supervisor.
