sickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor, refer to the product User Instructions or contact
3M Technical Service.
List of Warnings and Cautions within these User Instructions
W WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions may reduce respirator performance, expose you to contaminants
above the OEL, and may result in sickness or death.
• To help maintain a good seal between the face and the faceseal, the respirator faceseal must
be clear of obstructions at all times. Do not use with beards or facial hair that prevent direct
contact between the face and the respirator faceseal. Do not use with corrective eyeglasses. If
corrective eyeglasses are required, a 3M™ Spectacle Kit must be used inside the respirator.
• 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 condition.
• Do not alter, misuse, or abuse this respirator.

• Pour aider à maintenir une bonne étanchéité entre le visage et la membrane d'étanchéité
faciale, la membrane d'étanchéité faciale doit être exempte de toute obstruction en tout
temps. Ne pas utiliser si l'on porte la barbe ou des poils susceptibles d'empêcher un contact

Negative Pressure User Seal Check with Dual Airline
1. Disconnect airline hose from air control valve.
2. With breathing tube still connected to the air control valve inhale gently. If you feel facepiece collapse slightly and
pull closer to your face with no leaks between the face and facepiece, a proper seal has been obtained.
3. For combination dual airline where cartridges or fi lters are attached perform user seal check as described above
under the appropriate cartridge or fi lter that is being used.
4. If faceseal air leakage is detected, reposition the respirator on your face and/or readjust the tension of the straps to
eliminate the leakage and recheck seal.
IMPORTANT: If you cannot achieve a proper seal, DO NOT enter the contaminated area. See your supervisor.
Before assigning any respirator to be worn in a contaminated area, a qualitative or quantitative fi t test MUST be
performed per OSHA Standard 1910.134, or CSA Standard Z94.4.
RESPIRATOR REMOVAL
1. Fully loosen all six head straps by lifting up on buckles.
2. Remove respirator by pulling straps over head.
FIT TESTING
The effectiveness of a respirator will be reduced if it is not fi tted properly. Therefore, either qualitative or quantitative
fi t testing must be conducted prior to the respirator being used. Fit testing is a U.S. Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), a Canadian CSA and a Brazilian BMOL requirement. Fit testing should be conducted
using the heaviest cartridge, canister, fi lter or combination that each wearer will use in their work environment.
Respirators should also be fi t tested while wearing any personal protective equipment (PPE) the wearer may use in their
work environment that may affect the fi t of the respirator (e.g. hoods, hardhats, hearing protectors, etc.). For further
information concerning fi t testing, contact 3M PSD Technical Service.
Quantitative Fit Testing
Quantitative Fit Testing (QNFT) can be conducted using a 3M™ Fit Test Adapter 601 and P100 fi lters such as the 3M™
Particulate Filters 2091 or 7093.
Qualitative Fit Testing
Qualitative Fit Testing (QLFT) with the 3M™ Qualitative Fit Test Apparatus FT-10 or FT-30 can be conducted using any of
the NIOSH approved particulate fi lters.
Entering and Exiting a Contaminated Area
• Airborne contaminants which can be dangerous to your health include those that are so small you may not be able
to see or smell them.
• Always conduct a user seal check before entering a contaminated area.
• Leave the contaminated area immediately if any of the following conditions occur:
• Any part of the respirator becomes damaged.
• Breathing becomes diffi cult.
• Your feel dizzy or your vision is impaired.
• You taste or smell contaminants.
• Your face, eyes, nose or mouth become(s) irritated.
• You suspect that the concentrations of contaminants may have reached levels at which this respirator may no
longer provide adequate protection.
• Do not wear this respirator in areas where:
• Atmospheres are oxygen defi cient.
• Contaminant concentrations are unknown.
• Contaminant concentrations are Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH).
• Contaminant concentrations exceed the Maximum Use Concentration (MUC) determined using the Assigned
Protection Factor (APF) for the specifi c respirator system or the APF mandated by specifi c government standards,
whichever is lower.
INSPECTION, CLEANING, AND STORAGE
W WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions may reduce respirator performance, expose you to contaminants
above the OEL, and 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 condition.
Inspection Procedure
This respirator must be inspected before each use to ensure that it is in good operating condition. Any damaged or
defective parts must be replaced before use. Do not enter a contaminated area with damaged or defective parts. The
following inspection procedure is recommended.
1. Check facepiece for cracks, tears and dirt. Be certain facepiece, especially faceseal area, is not distorted.
2. Examine inhalation valves for signs of distortion, cracking or tearing.
3. Make sure that head straps are intact and have good elasticity.
4. Examine all plastic parts for signs of cracking or fatiguing. Ensure bayonet gaskets are in good condition.
5. Remove exhalation valve cover and examine exhalation valve and valve seat for signs of dirt, distortion, cracking or
tearing. Replace exhalation valve cover.
6. Inspect lens for any damage that may impair respirator performance or vision.
Cleaning and Storage
Cleaning is recommended after each use.
1. Remove cartridges, fi lters and/or breathing tubes, and nose cup. The exhalation valve cover, exhalation valve
assembly, speaking diaphragm, bayonet assembly, lens and faceseal can also be disassembled if necessary.
2. Clean facepiece (excluding fi lters and cartridges), by immersing in warm cleaning solution, water temperature not to
exceed 120°F (49°C), and scrub with soft brush until clean. Add neutral detergent if necessary. Do not use cleaners
containing lanolin or other oils.
3. Disinfect facepiece by soaking in a solution of quaternary ammonia disinfectant or sodium hypochloride (1oz. [30
mL] household bleach in 2 gallons [7.5 L] of water), or other disinfectant.
4. Rinse in fresh, warm water and air dry in non-contaminated atmosphere. Do not replace nose cup until facepiece is
completely dry.
5. Respirator components must be inspected prior to each use. A respirator with any damaged or deteriorated
components should be repaired or discarded.
6. The cleaned respirator should be stored away from contaminated areas when not in use.
