Description/intended use
The full face masks protect the face and eyes against aggressive
media. They may only be used with certified respiratory filters from
the X-plore series. This includes e.g. uncapsulated particle filters,
particle filters, gas filters or combination filters.
The full face masks can be used at temperatures from
–30 °C to 60 °C.
Mask spectacles can be inserted for users who wear spectacles.
Among other factors, the service life depends on the type and
concentration of contaminants and on the type of respiratory filter.

Use
Preconditions for use
—The ambient conditions (particularly the types and concentrations of
contaminants) must be known. Use corresponding respiratory
filters. Only use SCBAs or air line breathing apparatus in cases
where the contaminant is unknown.
—Only use filtering devices if the air does not directly endanger the
health or life of the user.
—It must be ensured that the ambient atmosphere cannot change to
the worse.
—Do not use filtering devices if there is suspicion of contaminants with
low warning properties (low-odour, tasteless, no irritation of eyes
and airways). A decreasing protective effect of the filtering device
cannot be determined in this case.
—Do not use filtering devices for entering unventilated tanks, mines,
canals, etc.
—Do not use filtering devices in oxygen-enriched atmospheres.
—The oxygen content of the ambient air must not drop below the
following limit values:
at least 17 Vol% oxygen in all European countries except the
Netherlands, Belgium and the UK
at least 19 Vol% oxygen in the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK,
Australia and New Zealand
In other countries, observe the applicable national regulations.
Inserting the respiratory filter
NOTICE
The following description applies to uncapsulated particle filters,
particle filters, gas filters and combination filters. For information on
other filters from the X-plore series, refer to the relevant instructions
for use.


lock it as far as it will go (2) by turning the respiratory filter
downwards as far as it will go (line marking of the respiratory
