  • Use only with the AirGuard Pro masks named in the documents.

The instructions for use of the product are authoritative.

Using correctly

  1. 01

    Open only at the place of use

  3. 03

    Check the face seal

    Place the palm of your hand over the exhalation valve and exhale slowly. If air escapes at the edge of the mask, reposition it and tighten the straps. Before every use.

  4. 04

    Replace in good time

    According to the change schedule, at the latest when odour, taste or irritation is noticed. Replace the filter too if breathing becomes harder.
