PORTWEST P940 P3 R, PORTWEST (Test method: EN 143:2000)
Refer to the product label/markings for detailed information on the corresponding standards.
Only standards and icons that appear on both the product and the user information below are
applicable. All these products comply with the requirements of Regulation (EU 2016/425).
1. Failure to follow all instructions and limitations on the use of this respirator and / or failure
to wear this respirator during all times of exposure can reduce respirator effectiveness and
result in sickness
or death.
2. Before use, wearer must first be trained by the employer for proper respirator use in
accordance with applicable Safety and Health Standards. Respiratory protection appliances
are to be selected depending on the type and concentration of the hazardous substances.
3. The Respirator may only be used if the type and concentration of the harmful substances are
known. In case of unknown substances or concentrations or variable conditions, breathing
apparatus should be used.
4. This respirator does not supply Oxygen. Do not use in atmosphere containing less than
17% Oxygen.
5. Non-ventilated containers, mines, canals should not be entered with the filtering half masks
because of the risk of Oxygen deficiency or presence of heavy Oxygen-displacing gases
(e.g. Carbon Dioxide).
6. If the respirator is damaged or breathing becomes difficult, leave the contaminated area,
discard and replace the respirator. Also leave the contaminated area immediately if dizziness
or other distress occurs.
7. Never alter or modify this respirator.
8. Do not use with beard or other facial hair that prevents direct contact between the face and
the edge of the respirator.
9. Do not use when concentrations of contaminants are immediately dangerous to life and
health, are unknown, or when Particulate concentration exceed the maximum use level / or
other levels determined by your National Occupational Safety and Health Authorities.
10. Gas filter does not protect against particles. Similarly, particle filters do not provide
protection against gases or vapours. In case of doubt, use combined filter. Combined filter
are used for protection against gases and particle filter.
11. Combination of gas filter of the type P900 A1 & P920 ABEK1 with a particle filter P940 P3
R fulfill the combined filter class: A1 P3 R & ABEK1 P3 R .
12. Normal filtering devices do not protect against certain gases such as CO (Carbon Monoxide),
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and N2 (Nitrogen).
13. When a breathing protector is used in explosive atmosphere, please
follow the instructions given for such area.
14. Gas filters shall be replaced when the user begins to sense odour, taste or irritation. Filters
used against detrimental gases that do not display any significant indications, require special
regulations for the duration of use and correct usage. Particle Filter, combined filters &
combination filters must be replaced at the latest when breathing resistance becomes
too high.
15. Respirator should be disposed off if damaged, or the set safe wear time exceeds or the gas /
vapour is detected inside the respirator by taste or smell.
16. Always replace both filters together, if you feel breathing discomfort,and
only to be used with twin filter half masks. Material of mask body: TPE/PP = thermoplastic
elastomeric Sizes: S = small, M = medium or L = large
17. EN 529 "Instructions for the selection and use of respirators" or the corresponding national
regulations are authoritative for the use of filter apparatus sets. For Germany these are the
BGR 190"Rules for the use of
respirator" from the German federation of institutions for statutory.
18. Markings: PORTWEST P410 suitable for the filters PORTWEST P900 A1,
P920 ABEK1, P940 P3R, P950 A1P3R, P970 ABEK1 P3R.
19. R means Reusable: The reuse of the particle filter or combined filter is not limited to the
duration of a single working shift, i.e. the filters may be reused beyond the duration of a
single working shift.
20. NR means non-reusable, do not usse it over a working ship of 8 h
21. Do not use the filters near explosives. Please give attention to the fact that while working
with open flames or liquid metal droplets it may occur an ignition of the activated carbon
in the gas or combined filters and acute hazardous concentrations of toxic substances
may occur as well.
22. Unpacked filters can be used for maximum six months
23. Please do not use the filers against unknown concentrations and unknown chemicals
24. Mass of filters and the mask together should not be >300 g
25.Half Masks and filters exclusively for Anglophone countries.

TEST FOR LEAKS BEFORE USE (EITHER)
Negative pressure test:
Seal both respiratory filters with your hands and breathe in until a negative
pressure is created. Hold your breathe for a moment. The negative pressure
should be maintained. If not, adjust the straps or use a different size of mask.
MAXIMUM USER LEVELS COLOUR CODE

1000 ppm or 10 x OEL BROWN, GREY,
whichever is lower YELLOW,GREEN

Half mask may not fit correctly over a beard or drooping cheeks – danger ofpoisoning!
Half mask must fit tightly and the respiratory filters must be fitted before entering the
contaminated area.
EXCESS PRESSURE TEST:
Seal the exhalation valve of the half mask and breathe out firmly. Half mask must not lift off
your face. If the exhaled air dissipates through the softbody, tighten the straps or use a different
half mask size. Half mask may not fit correctly over a beard or drooping cheeks –danger of poi-
soning! Half mask must fit tightly and the respiratory filters must be fitted before entering the
contaminated area.
CLEANING, DISINFECTION, DRYING
Cleaning : Cleaning the mask immediately after use helps to prevent premature wear. Clean
all parts with a cloth and lukewarm water containing a universal cleaning agent & Rinse
thoroughly under running water.
Disinfection: Isopropyl alcohol ( IPA) wipes & IPA liquid dabbed on with a lint free cloth are
also effective forms of disinfection between patient encounters for an individually issued
elastomeric respirator.
Drying: Maximum temperature 70° C.
ASSEMBLY AND TESTING
Visual examination of the inhalation valve disc
Unbutton the inhalation valve disc and examine it. Place the disc of the inhalation valve behind
the stub. The disc should rest evenly on the sealing area inside the mask body.
Visual examination of the exhalation valve disc
Remove facepiece from mask body. Hold the valve disc by the edge and draw it out. Examine
the valve seat for dirt and damage, and wipe it clean with a disposable tissue if necessary. Press
the examined valve disc into the valve seat until it engages. The disc should rest on the valve
seat uniformly and completely flat.
ASSEMBLING HALF MASK
Arrange the straps. Fit the facepiece on the mask body. Insert two new respiratory filters.
Check correct functioning and absence of leaks after assembly and before use with fitted half
mask (as described under "Test for leaks before use").
