Preconditions for use

The mask/helmet combination needs to be carefully adapted to the
equipment wearer (correct mask size, fastening plate settings and
internal helmet components) due to the rigid structure.
The following preconditions have to be observed when using the full
face masks with a respiratory filter or a powered air purifying
respirator:
The ambient conditions (particularly the types and concentrations

of contaminants) must be known. Use corresponding respiratory
filters. Only use SCBAs or air line breathing apparatus in cases
where the contaminant is unknown.
Only use filtering devices if the air does not directly endanger the

health or life of the user.
It must be ensured that the ambient atmosphere cannot change to

the worse.
Do not use filtering devices if there is suspicion of contaminants

with low warning properties (low-odour, tasteless, no irritation of
eyes and airways). A decreasing protective effect of the filtering
device cannot be determined in this case.
Do not use filtering devices for entering unventilated tanks, mines,

canals, etc.
Do not use filtering devices in oxygen-enriched atmospheres.

The oxygen content of the ambient air must not drop below the

following limit values:
at least 17 Vol% oxygen in all European countries except the

Netherlands, Belgium and the UK
at least 19 Vol% oxygen in the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK,

Australia and New Zealand
In other countries, observe the applicable national regulations.
