User InstructionsCAUTION: READ BEFORE USE
1. Flammable Contaminants will reduce the thermal protection of any flame resistant garment. For maximum protection: Wash your new garment before wearing and after each
subsequent wearing to thoroughly remove potentially flammable contaminants.
Wearing undergarments is recommended with all flame resistant garments.
It is the responsibility of the garment user to examine its condition before and after each use to be sure it is suitable for use.
2. Anti-static garments of DuPont Protera should be used in conjunction with proper grounding procedures for maximum protection against the threat of spark. Do not remove garments in a hazardous environment.
