Wear It Right:

Putting on Your Respirator

1. Prepare to Use Respirator

• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water, or use

hand sanitizer, before handling.

• Inspect respirator for holes, tears or other damage to surface, straps, metal nose strip and nose foam. Get a new respirator if damaged.

• With model 8210, pre-stretch the straps before wearing.

• If you wear glasses, read steps 2 through 4, then remove glasses before putting on the respirator.

2. Place Respirator on Face

Place respirator against your face, with the bottom under chin and

metal nose strip across bridge of nose.

Pull the top elastic band over your head and position it high on the

back of your head.

Next pull the bottom elastic band over your head and place

around the neck below the ears.

3. Adjust the Metal Nose Strip

Use both hands to bend the metal nose strip to fit snugly against your nose and face. The respirator may not fit

as well if you pinch the metal nose strip using one hand. Use two hands. Slide fingers down both sides of metal

nose strip to seal it against your nose and face.

4. Check the Respirator-to-Face Seal

Remember: Putting the respirator on correctly means more of the air you breathe goes through the

respirator filter.

For non-valved respirators: Completely cover the outside of the respirator with both hands. Do not push the

respirator against your face. With your hands in place on the surface of the respirator, exhale, or breathe out

sharply. If you feel air blowing on your face or eyes, the respirator needs to be adjusted. To adjust, repeat

steps 2, 3 and 4. When respirator is a good fit, you will not feel any air blowing on your face or eyes. If you can't

get a good fit, try a different model respirator. Return glasses to face, if applicable.
