Use Limitations
1.Do not use this respirator when the concentration of contaminants is unknown or immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH).
2.Do not use when concentrations exceed 10 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) when qualitatively fit tested or 50 times the PEL when quantitatively fit tested, or according to specific OSHA standards or applicable government regulations, whichever is lower.
