Usage Instructions:
- Properly hold the mask with clean hands.
- Press mask against the face with the soft metal fixation strip uppermost.
- Place bands around both ears.
- Adjust mask and mold the soft metal fixation strip over the nose bridge, creating a seal of protection against the outside environment.

See your supervisor for proper fitting respiratory protection.
