(Keep these instructions for reference)

These User Instructions provide information about the facepiece use only. Important information is provided
in the User Instructions with each of the air filtration/supplied air systems. Failure to follow User
Instructions for the air filtration/supply system being used may result in sickness or death.

This respirator helps protect against certain airborne contaminants. Misuse may result in sickness or death.

Do not clean respirator with solvents. Cleaning with solvents may degrade some respirator components and
reduce respirator effectiveness. Inspect all respirator components before each use to ensure proper operating
conditions.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

USE INSTRUCTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
Important

Before use, the wearer must read and understand these User Instructions. Keep these instructions for
reference.

Use For

Respiratory protection from certain airborne contaminants according to NIOSH approvals, OSHA
limitations, in Canada CSA standard Z94.4 requirements, other applicable regulations and 3M instructions.

Do Not Use For

Concentrations of contaminants which are immediately dangerous to life or health, are unknown or when
concentrations exceed 10 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) in air purifying mode when qualitatively
fit tested, 50 times the PEL in air purifying mode when quantitatively fit tested, 1000 times the PEL in powered
air purifying or supplied air mode, or according to specific OSHA standards or applicable government
regulations, whichever is lower.

Use Instructions

1. Failure to follow all instructions and limitations on the use of this respirator and/or failure to wear this
respirator during all times of exposure can reduce respirator effectiveness and may result in sickness or
death.

2. Before occupational use of this respirator, a written respiratory protection program must be implemented
meeting all the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 such as training and fit testing and applicable
OSHA substance specific standards. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4 requirements must be met.

3. The airborne contaminants which can be dangerous to your health include those that are so small you
cannot see them.

4. Leave contaminated area immediately and contact supervisor if you smell or taste contaminants or if
dizziness, irritation, or other distress occurs.

5. Store respirator away from contaminated areas when not in use.

6. Dispose of used product in accordance with applicable regulations.

Use Limitations

1. This respirator does not supply oxygen when used in air purifying mode. Do not use in atmospheres
containing less than 19.5% oxygen.

2. Do not use when concentrations of contaminants are immediately dangerous to life and health, are
unknown or when concentrations exceed 10 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) in air purifying
mode when qualitatively fit tested, 50 times the PEL in air purifying mode when quantitatively fit tested,
1000 times the PEL in powered air purifying or supplied air mode, or according to specific OSHA
standards or applicable government regulations, whichever is lower.

3. Do not alter, abuse or misuse this respirator.

4. Do not use with beards or other facial hair or other conditions that prevent a good seal between the face
and the faceseal of the respirator.

Time Use Limitations

1. If respirator becomes damaged, leave the contaminated area immediately and repair or replace the
respirator.

2. Replace filters in accordance with the filter Time Use Limitations.

3. Replace cartridges in accordance with an established change schedule or earlier if smell, taste or irritation
from contaminants is detected.

NIOSH Cautions and Limitations

The following restrictions may apply. See NIOSH Approval Label Matrix.
A- Not for use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5 percent oxygen.
B- Not for use in atmospheres immediately dangerous to life or health.
C- Do not exceed maximum use concentrations established by regulatory standards.
D- Air-line respirators can be used only when the respirators are supplied with respirable air meeting the

requirements of CGA G-7.1 Grade D or higher quality.

E- Use only the pressure ranges and hose lengths specified in the User’s Instructions.
F- Do not use powered air-purifying respirators if airflow is less than four cfm (115 lpm) for tight fitting

facepieces or six cfm (170 lpm) for hoods and/or helmets.

G- If airflow is cut off, switch to filter and/or cartridge or canister and immediately exit to clean air.
H- Follow established cartridge and canister change schedules or observe ESLI to ensure that cartridge and

canisters are replaced before breakthrough occurs.

I- Contains electrical parts which have not been evaluated as an ignition source in flammable or explosive

atmospheres by MSHA/NIOSH.

J- Failure to properly use and maintain this product could result in injury or death.
L- Follow the manufacturer’s User’s Instructions for changing cartridges, canister and/or filters.
M- All approved respirators shall be selected, fitted, used, and maintained in accordance with MSHA, OSHA,

and other applicable regulations.

N- Never substitute, modify, add, or omit parts. Use only exact replacement parts in the configuration as

specified by the manufacturer.

0- Refer to User’s Instructions, and/or maintenance manuals for information on use and maintenance of

these respirators.

P- NIOSH does not evaluate respirators for use as surgical masks.
S- Special or critical User’s Instructions and/or specific use limitations apply. Refer to User’s Instructions

before donning.

S-Special or Critical Use Instructions

3M™ Mercury Vapor Cartridges (6009 and 60929) are equipped with passive 3M™ End of Service Life
Indicators (ESLI). The color change indicator must be readily visible when wearing the respirator without
manipulation. If you cannot readily see the ESLI, do not use. Mercury vapor cartridges must be discarded
when the ESLI changes color; or within 30 days of opening packaging; or when ESLI becomes dirty or
damaged; or when odors of vapors or gases become noticeable, whichever occurs first. Mercury vapor has
no odor.

To assemble 3M™ Dual Airline Combination Breathing Tubes with 3M™ Cartridges/Filters, the facepiece
inhalation valves must be removed.

If the facepiece is to be used in air purifying mode (without using the 3M™ SA-1600 or SA-2600 breathing
tubes), the inhalation valves must be replaced in the facepiece before use.

Use of the 3M™ 6894 Nose Cup Assembly with the 3M™ 6000DIN Series Full Facepieces must be in
accordance with the NIOSH approval for the system being used.

–Nose cup is not to be used with the Powerflow™ Face-Mounted PAPR
–Nose cup use is optional with 3M™ GVP and Breathe Easy™ Belt-Mounted PAPR systems.
–Nose cup must be used for all other 6000DIN facepiece applications.

OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.134 requires that employers provide breathing air for supplied air respirator
systems which “shall meet at least the requirements of the specification for Grade D breathing air as
described in the Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification ANSI/CGA G-7.1-1997.” Testing of
output air from a compressor against this standard is required prior to using with a supplied air respirator.
In Canada, breathing air systems must be supplied with air which meets at least the requirements in Table 1
of CSA Standard Z180.1-2000. Failure to do so may result in sickness or death.
