Use For
Particles such as those from grinding, sanding, sweeping, sawing, bagging, or processing minerals, coal, iron ore, our, metal,
wood, pollen, and certain other substances. Liquid or non-oil based particles from sprays that do not also emit oil aerosols
or vapors. Follow all applicable local regulations. For additional information on 3M use recommendations for this class of

www.3M.com/PPESafety or call 1-800-243-4630 in U.S.A. In Canada call 1-800-267-4414.
Do Not Use For
Do not use for gases and vapors, oil aerosols, asbestos, or sandblasting; particulate concentrations that exceed either 10 times
the occupational exposure limit or applicable government regulations, whichever is lower. In the U.S., do not use when the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) substance specic standards, such as those for, arsenic, cadmium, lead
in the construction industry, or 4,4’-methylene dianiline (MDA), specify other types of respiratory protection. This respirator
does not supply oxygen.
Biological Particles
This respirator can help reduce inhalation exposures to certain airborne biological particles (e.g. mold, Bacillus anthracis,
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, etc.) but cannot eliminate the risk of contracting infection, illness or disease. OSHA and other
government agencies have not established safe exposure limits for these contaminants.
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. In the U.S., 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, t testing, medical evaluation, and applicable
OSHA substance specic standards. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4 requirements must be met and/or requirements of the
applicable jurisdiction, as appropriate. Follow all applicable local regulations.
3. The particles which can be dangerous to your health include those so small that you cannot see them.
4. Leave the contaminated area immediately and contact supervisor if dizziness, irritation, or other distress occurs.
5. Store the respirator away from contaminated areas when not in use.
6. Inspect respirator before each use to ensure that it is in good operating condition. Examine all the respirator parts for
signs of damage including the two headbands, staples, exhalation valve and noseclip. The respirator should be disposed
of immediately upon observation of damaged or missing parts. Filtering facepieces are to be inspected prior to each use
to assure there are no holes in the breathing zone other than the punctures around staples and no damage has occurred.
Enlarged holes resulting from ripped or torn lter material around staple punctures are considered damage. Immediately
replace respirator if damaged. Staple perforations do not affect NIOSH approval.
7. Conduct a user seal check before use as specied in the Fitting Instructions section. If you cannot achieve a proper seal,
do not use the respirator.
8. Dispose of used product in accordance with applicable regulations.
Use Limitations
1. This respirator does not supply oxygen. Do not use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5% oxygen.
2. Do not use when concentrations of contaminants are immediately dangerous to life or health, are unknown or when
concentrations exceed 10 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) or according to specic OSHA standards or applicable
government regulations, whichever is lower.
3. Do not alter, wash, 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 sealing
surface of the respirator.
5. Respirators can help protect your lungs against certain airborne contaminants, They will not prevent entry through other
routes such as the skin, which would require additional personal protective equipment (PPE).
6. This respirator is designed for occupational/professional use by adults who are properly trained in their use and limitations.
This respirator is not designed to be used by children.
7. Individuals with a compromised respiratory system, such as asthma or emphysema, should consult a physician and must
complete a medical evaluation prior to use.
8. When stored in accordance with temperature and humidity conditions specied the product may be used until the “use by”
date specied on packaging.
