Fit Check
1. Cover the front of the respirator with both hands being careful
not to disturb the fit of the respirator.
2. (a) UNVALVED respirator - EXHALE sharply;
(b) VALVED respirator - INHALE sharply.
3. If air leaks around the nose, re-adjust the noseclip to eliminate
leakage. Repeat the above fit check.
4. If air leaks at the respirator edges, work the straps back along
the sides of the head to eliminate leakage. Repeat the above fit
check.
If you CANNOT achieve a proper fit DO NOT enter the hazardous
area. See your supervisor.
Users should be fit tested in accordance with national requirements.
For information regarding fit testing procedures, please contact 3M.

Fitting Instructions
See Figure 1.
Before fitting device, ensure hands are clean. All respirator
components should be inspected for damage prior to each use.
1. With reverse side up and using the tab, separate top and
bottom panels to form a cup shape. Bend slightly at centre of
the noseclip.
2. Ensure both panels are fully unfolded.
3. Cup respirator in one hand with open side towards face. Take
both straps in other hand. Hold respirator under chin, with
nosepiece up, and pull straps over head.
4. Locate the upper strap across the crown of the head and the
lower strap below the ears. Straps must not be twisted.
Adjust top and bottom panels for a comfortable fit, ensuring
panels and chin tab are not folded in.
5. Using both hands, mould noseclip to the shape of the lower
part of the nose to ensure a close fit and good seal. Pinching
the noseclip using only one hand may result in less effective
respirator performance.
6. The seal of the respirator on the face should be fit-checked
before entering the workplace.
