PUTTING ON - TEST
PUTTING ON THE RSG HALF
MASK:
1.
With one hand, hold the mask in front of
the face and place it so that the mouth,
nose and chin are covered. Then pull the
head straps over the head, and place the
two-piece headband behind the head.
2.
Then take the bottom straps in both hands,
place them behind the neck and fasten
them together. .
3.
Pull the head straps and the bottom straps
tight. The impermeability of the mask can
now be checked before entering the
working area.
CHECK BEFORE USE:
RSG HALF MASK must always be checked
before use in order to ensure that the half
mask is not damaged and is clean. It is
extremely important that a mask leakage test
(see below) is always carried out before use.
MASK LEAKAGE TEST:
Place the palms of your hand over the open
filter housings (plastic film or pieces of
cardboard can also be used to cover the
openings if your palms are not sufficiently
large). Gently breath in and hold your breath for
about 10 seconds. If the mask is sucked in
towards the face, then it is correctly adjusted.
If any leakage can be felt, the straps should be
adjusted in order to stop the leak. If a orrect fit
cannot be achieved, then a detailed
examination
of
the
mask’s
individual
components is necessary. Note that the size of
the mask can be highly significant with regard
to achieving the correct fit.
