WARNING─Continued

● Do not wear this respirator if a satis

-

factory fit, as determined by a quali-

tative or quantitative fit test, cannot 

be  obtained.  See  ANSI  Z88.2,  latest 

issue,  and  OSHA  29  CFR  1910.134, 

latest  edition.  Beards,  stubble,  or 

sideburns  will  prevent  a  good  face-

piece seal, and facial hair may inter-

fere with valve function. Do not use 

this  respirator  unless  you  are  clean 

shaven. Absence of one or both den-

tures  can  seriously  affect  the  fit  of 

the respirator.

● This  respirator  will  reduce,  but  will 

not  eliminate  the  inhalation  of  con-

taminants.  Some  sensitive  individu-

als  may  experience  health  prob-

lems  when  exposed  to  even  minute 

amounts  of  contaminants.  This  res-

pirator  will  not  prevent  health  prob-

lems to those individuals.

● Use of components other than those 

listed  on  the  NIOSH  approval  label 

and in this manual, or as authorized 

by SPERIAN, or modification of this 

respirator  in  any  manner  will  void 

the  NIOSH  certification  and  invali-

dates  all  SPERIAN’s  warranties  for 

the respirator.

● Always read and follow the instruc

-

tions  listed  in  the  Material  Safety 

Data Sheet for the chemicals that are 

present in the work area.

● Do not use if you have a preexisting 

skin condition (for example, folliculi-

tus or vitiligo) until you obtain clear-

ance from a medical doctor.

● This  respirator  must  be  worn  and 

used  as  specified  in  SPERIAN’s  in-

structions.  No  respirator  can  pro-

vide  complete  protection  from  all 

conditions.  Use  extreme  care  for 

emergency conditions.

● Some  individuals  are  sensitive  to 

chemicals  (e.g.,  isocyanates,  latex, 

oil  mists,  etc.)  or  may  have  some 

type  of  respiratory  disorder  (e.g. 

asthma,  chronic  obstructive  airway 

disease, etc.). If you are sensitive to 

any  chemical  or  have  a  respiratory 

disorder, you may have a severe reac-

tion at contaminant levels well below 

accepted  health  levels,  such  as  the 

OSHA  Permissible  Exposure  Limit 

(PEL), ACGIH Threshold Limit Value 

(TLV),  or  the  NIOSH  Recommended 

Exposure Limits (REL). Many chemi-

cals (e.g., isocyanates, Mercury, etc.) 

have no physical warning properties 

and  you  cannot  taste  or  smell  the 

contaminants even though they may

WARNING─Continued

-

vironmental  conditions  could  cause 

the  respirator  facepiece  to  be  dis-

lodged or slip.

● Immediately return to a non-contam

-

inated area if:

You taste or smell contaminants, 

a. 

or  if  your  eyes,  nose,  or  throat 

become irritated.

Breathing becomes difficult.

b. 

The  air  you  are  breathing  be-

c. 

comes uncomfortably warm.

You feel nauseous or dizzy.

d. 

You notice a loss or decrease in 

e. 

airflow.

The  facepiece  moves,  slips,  or 

f. 

leaks.

● This  respirator  does  not  protect  ex

-

posed areas of the body. Some con-

taminants  can  be  absorbed  directly 

through  the  skin  while  others  may 

irritate exposed areas.

● This respirator does not provide pro

-

tection from hazardous rays or harm

-

ful  noise. Always  wear  proper  head 

and ear protection.

● This  respirator  must  not  be  used 

underwater,  for  fumigation,  inte-

rior  structural  fire  fighting,  abrasive 

blasting operations, or in areas where 

high  heat,  sparks,  or  flames  could 

contact  the  respirator.  If  this  respi-

rator will be used during welding, it 

is the user’s responsibility to obtain 

the proper equipment for protection 

against sparks, optical radiation, and 

impact.  This  respirator  will  not  pro-

tect you against these hazards.

● This respirator must be used in con

-

junction  with  a  written  respirator 

program  meeting  the  requirements 

of  the  OSHA  Standard  for  Respira-

tory  Protection,  29  CFR  1910.134, 

available  from  the  U.S.  Department 

of  Labor,  Occupational  Safety  and 

Health  Administration.  The  program 

must  include  procedures  for  evalu-

ating air contaminants and selecting 

appropriate  respirators;  procedures 

for proper use of respirators; proce-

dures for testing the facepiece fit of 

respirators; procedures for cleaning, 

disinfecting, inspecting, maintaining, 

and  storing  respirators;  procedures 

for determining if workers are physi-

cally and medically capable of wear-

ing  respirators;  and  procedures  for 

training  employees  in  the  use  and 

care  of  respirators  and  in  recogniz
