Before fitting the respirator mask, ensure hands are clean. All respirator components should be inspected for damage prior to each use. 

1. With the reverse side up and using the tab, separate top and bottom panels to form a cup shape. Bend slightly at the centre of the nose clip. 
2. Ensure both panels are fully unfolded. 
3. Cup respirator in one hand with open side towards face. Take both straps on the other hand. Hold the respirator under chin, with nose piece up, and pull straps over head. 
4. Locate the upper strap across the crown of the head and the lower strap below the ears. Straps must not be twisted. Adjust top and bottom panels for comfortable fit, ensuring panels and chin tab are not folded in. 
5. Using both hands, mould nose clip to the shape of the lower part of the nose to ensure a close fit and good seal. Pinching the nose clip using only one hand may result in less effective respirator performance - use two hands. 
6. The seal of the respirator on the face should be fit checked before entering the workplace

It is recommended that wearers be fit tested in accordance with AS/NZS 1715:2009 Standard.
