Fitting Instructions

Must be followed each time respirator is worn.
1. Cup the respirator in your hand, with the nosepiece at your
fingertips, allowing the headbands to hang freely below
your hand (Fig. 1).
3. Place your fingertips from both hands at the top of the metal
nosepiece. Using two hands, mold the nose area to the
shape of your nose by pushing inward while moving your
fingertips down both sides of the nosepiece (Fig. 3).
W Pinching the nosepiece using one hand may result in
improper fit and less effective respirator performance. Use
two hands.
