2. Limitations of use

2.1 The filtering device must not be used if the environment and contamination is unknown. In case of doubt,
isolating respirators (air supply) which function independently of the atmosphere must be used.
2.2 The filtering device must not be used in confined spaces (e.g. cisterns, tunnels) because of the risk of
oxygen deficiency or presence of heavy oxygen-displacing gases (e.g. carbon dioxide).
2.3 The filtering device may be used only if the oxygen content of the air is 18–23 vol.%.
2.4 Gas filters do not protect against particles. Similarly, particle filters do not provide protection against
gases or vapours. In case of doubt, use combined filters.
2.5 Normal filtering devices do not protect against certain gases such as CO (carbon monoxide), CO
dioxide) and N (nitrogen).

2.6 Particle filters are only allowed for single use if they are applied against radioactive agents or micro-
organisms (virus, bacteria, fungi and spores).
2.7 It is likely that adequate protection cannot be guaranteed if the user's beard, hair, spectacle frames or
clothing intrude into the faceseal. With the FM9000/9500 one can use special spectacles (see 012790
spectacle frame).
2.8 When a breathing protector is used in explosive atmospheres, please follow the instructions given for
such areas.
2.9 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 filters must be replaced at the latest when breathing resistance becomes too high.
2.10 The weight of filter used with a full face mask shall not exceed 500 g.
The FM9000 is used with one filter only (the other opening on the mask is blocked by the manufacturer).
The FM9500 is used with Pro
both filters at the same time.
