3. Selection
FM9000/9500 + filter
Breathing protector equipped with filter
Type of protective device
Full face mask with particle filter P3
Full face mask with gas filter *)
Device with combined filter
*) Provided that the maximum permissible detrimental gas concentration for the gas filter is not exceeded. For
non-powered filtering devices with gas filter, concentration must not exceed 0.1 vol.% in gas filter class 1 and
0.5 vol.% in gas filter class 2 and 1.0 vol.% in gas filter class 3.
**) If national guidelines exist: in all cases the lowest value applies.
4. Preparations for use, and Donning
See Instructions for Use of the filter and blower device to be used.
Check before use
•
intactness of facepiece, rubber parts and visor
•
head harness condition and elasticity
•
that speech diaphragm is in place
•
that exhalation valve is in place and that its cover is properly fastened
• that inh. and exh. valves function properly
•
that the filter is correct for the intended use. Filter type and class are evident from the marking.
•
that storage period of the filter has not been exceeded
• filter condition and intactness. Shake the filter to ensure that there are no loose components/contents. The
filter shall be replaced if it has been exposed to excessive force or impact. It may be damaged.
4.1 Fitting of the filter
•
FM9000 + F9000: Remove eventual safety plugs from the filter. Screw the filter tightly in the connector of
the mask (=inh. valve body).
• FM9500 + F9500: Align the bayonets on the mask with the slots on the filter and locate the filter. Turn the
filter clockwise ¼ turn
the openings of the splash guards face backwards.
4.2 When needed, connect the spectacles to the inner mask and adjust their position.
4.3 A sweat band is recommended to control excessive hair.
4.4 Loosen the head harness straps.
4.5 Locate the chin pocket of the mask properly on the chin and pull the head harness over the head.
4.6 Check that the chin is in the chin pocket. Tighten the straps. Start with neck straps, pull backwards (not
outwards). Then adjust the temple straps and finally the upper strap. The cradle/net lies centered on the back of
the head.
Check that the faceseal touches the skin all around, especially under the chin pocket. Try moving the mask
sideways to verify that there is no slippage.
4.7 Check tightness of the mask (two alternative methods):
•
Cover the exhalation opening of the mask with your hand. Exhale gently to create overpressure. There
must be no leakage between the face and the faceseal.
•
Cover the filter openings with your hand. Inhale to make the mask press onto your face.
• If you fail to get a tight fit (=potential leakage), adjust the head harness and filter, or use another size of the
mask.
Multiples of threshold concentration **)

The specified multiples of threshold value for the gas or particle
filters are given separately, but in all cases the lowest value applies
The filter is tight only when the aligning marks (◄) are opposite each other and
