HOW TO WEAR:
1. Turn the respirator so that you are looking at the
back side.
2. Pull up on the nose piece and down on the chin
pieces to create an opening.
3. Place the respirator on your face so that the center
of the nose piece wire is against the bridge of your
nose and the chin piece is below your chin.
4. Pull both straps over your head. Move the lower
strap around your neck; pull the top strap onto your
head.
5. Using one hand, pinch the nose wire across the
bridge of your nose and along the sides.
6. Using both hands, press each side of the nose wire
strip to conform to your cheek bones on both sides.

tension of the straps and press down along the
nose piece as described in previous steps.

respirator and DO NOT enter the contaminated
area. See your supervisor.
