adequately ventilated areas, (19.5 Vol.-% oxygen) • The mask and the filters must be
selected in accordance with the pollutant concentration. (see Table 1) • In the case
of gases with insufficient warning properties, filters may only be used if special usage
policies are specified for this purpose. • If the conditions are uncertain or changeable,
self-contained breathing apparatus must be worn. • You must exit the working area and
replace the respirator mask immediately if: o the mask is damaged, o you experience
difficulty in breathing, o you experience dizziness or fatigue. • Read the instruction
manual before using the mask. • The product does not contain any metallic parts that
could cause ignition in potentially explosive atmospheres. • If you have any questions
about how to use the product, please contact Moldex-Metric. • You must also observe
the relevant rules and regulations when using respira-tory equipment. • Under certain
circumstances, individuals with beards, long sideburns or other anomalies in the area
around the sealing lines, may be unable to achieve a properly sealing fit. • The masks
must not be modified in anyway. • Users of the masks and filters must be familiar with
how to handle them correctly. • When not in use, the mask and filter must be stored in
an uncontaminated environment.
Caution: Do not use filter equipment in unventilated containers and confined spaces.
Preparations Before Using the Half-mask
The half-mask must always be checked before use. If damage or defects are discov-
ered, the mask must be replaced or repaired. You must check • The mask for fractures,
cracks and contamination. • That the inhalation and exhalation valves are working
correctly and free of contamination, deformation or cracks. • That the headbands are
intact and provide sufficient elasticity.Fitting the half mask (Figures 1, 2 and 3) Place the
half-mask over the mouth and nose and fit the head straps as shown in the illustration.
Fasten the lower straps around the back of the neck. Make sure that the mask fits
closely on your face by pulling the ends of the head and neck strap. Before entering
your working area, check that the mask creates a seal around the face. Using suction
to check the face seal (Figure 4) Place the palm of your hand over the opening on the
filter cover to seal it and breathe in slowly. If the facepiece contracts slightly, the mask
is correctly seated. If you notice an inflow of air, adjust the position of the mask on your
face or adjust the tension of the straps. Repeat this check until a seal is achieved. Using
excess pressure to check the face seal (Figure 5) Place the palm of your hand over the
exhalation valve and breathe out slowly. If no air escapes between the facepiece and
your face, a proper sealing fit is achieved. If you notice air escaping, adjust the position
of the mask on your face or adjust the tension of the straps. Repeat this check until a
seal is achieved. Under no circumstances should you enter a hazardous area if you are
unable to achieve a proper sealing fit. Seek the assistance of a supervisor. Drop Down
Mode and Lock Mode (Figures 6, 7 and 8) Drop Down Mode: To enable the mask to
be hung over your chest when not in use, fit the straps as shown in Figure 7. Lock Mode:
To lock the straps, fit them as shown in Figure 8.
Maintaining the Half-mask
The maintenance intervals as set out in the national regulations must be adhered to. The
date of manufacture is shown on the inside of the face seal in the chin area.
Cleaning/Disinfection We recommend cleaning the mask after each use. Remove the
filter; clean the facepiece with warm water (Model TPE: max. 50°C). If necessary,
use a neutral cleaning agent and an alcohol-based disinfectant. To clean the valve
membrane, remove it from the holder. To dismantle the filter, refer to the instruction
manual for gas and particulate filters. Dry the mask thoroughly before storing it.
Storage Keep the 7000 mask sealed in a dry, uncontaminated environment. Protect it
against sunlight and sources of heat. The name of the wearer and a record of the filter
changes can be noted on the packaging. The date of manufacture is en-graved on the
inside of the mask. Calendar clocks see page 35. Exhalation Valve (Spare Part No.
