Use
Handle the respiratory filter with care: do not knock or drop the fil-
ter!
Air from the filter can be warm and the filter housing may become
very hot during use. This shows that the filter is functioning correct-
ly.
Only open the bag immediately before use. Do not bore into
the respiratory filter with sharp objects.
The respiratory filter must be tightly connected to the fa-
cepiece.
Filters and facepieces are only to be used according to the
combinations listed (see Table 1).
Inserting two respiratory filters (unencapsulated particle filters,
particle filters, gas filters or combination filters)
(see Figure A)

lock to the stop (2) by screwing the respiratory filter downward
until the stop is noticeable.
The respiratory filter is removed in the reverse way.
