DUST FILTERING HALF MASK
Mod. KN95

Classificazione: FFP2 NR - EN 149

HOW TO WEAR THE MASK:
Before use, check the condition of the mask. DO NOT use the mask if it shows signs of damage (tears, cuts, missing straps, etc.) or soiling on the inside.
1. Hold the mask by the two elastic straps with mask facing upwards, as shown in the diagram.
2. Position the mask on the face, so that it covers the nose, mouth and chin, as shown in the diagram.
3. Place the elastic straps behind the ears, as shown in the diagram.
4. Bend and squeeze the nose clip so that the mask fits the face properly and does not leak.
5. Check that the mask fits properly and is airtight, as follows (for valveless masks): cover the mask with both hands and exhale forcefully. If you feel air passing through the sides and around the nostrils, reposition the mask on the face and squeeze the nose clip again. Repeat the procedure until you achieve a proper fit. If you are not able to put on the mask correctly, avoid contaminated areas.

IMPORTANT:
Single-use filtering half-masks are classified according to three categories: FFP1, FFP2 or FFP3. Always check to which category your mask belongs. Information and markings can be found on the mask itself and on its packaging. The letters "NR" (not reusable) indicate that masks are single-use and must be disposed of at the end of a work shift.

FFP2: protection against non-toxic dust, fumes and mists, or of low/moderate toxicity in concentrations up to 12x TLV or 10x APF. (NOTE: TLV: threshold limit value; APF: assigned protection factor).
Non-compliance with the instructions and the limitations for use of the mask and/or non-use of the mask during the entire exposure period will reduce the effectiveness of the mask and may lead to contamination or death.

USE PRECAUTIONS:
1. Non-compliance with the instructions and the limitations for use of the mask and/or non-use of the mask during the entire exposure period will reduce the effectiveness of the mask and may lead to contamination or death.
2. Before use, wearers should familiarise themselves with correct use of the mask in accordance with applicable health and safety instructions.
3. The mask can also be used in hospital and care settings (for example, clinic or nursing home) to protect the user from external agents (including aerosol transmission of infections).
4. This mask does not provide oxygen. The mask must not be used in environments in which the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere is less than 17%. Use the mask only in well-ventilated areas that contain enough oxygen.
5. Do not use when concentrations of contaminants are harmful to health or life.
6. Do not use when concentrations of contaminants are unknown. The mask should be used only when concentrations of harmful substances are known. In the event of unknown substances or variable conditions, use a respirator.
