Approvals
The 3M 6000 Series Respirators and 6000/5000/2000 Series
Filters have been shown to meet the Basic Safety Requirements
under Article 10 and 11 of the European Community Directive
89/686/EEC, and are thus CE-marked. These products were
examined at the design stage by: BSI Product Services, Kitemark
House, Maylands Avenue, Hemel Hempstead, Herts, HP2 4SQ,
England (Notified Body 0086).
Standards
These products have been tested to the relevant European Standards:
• 6000 Series Half Masks to EN140: 1998.
• 6000 Series Gas and Vapour filters to EN14387:2004 +
A1:2008
• 2000 and 5000 Series and 6035, 6038 Particulate filters to
EN143: 2000 + A1:2006.
Correct Usage
When the 6000 Series Half Mask is fitted with
Gas & Vapour Filters:
• 6000 Series gas and vapour filters, it may be used in
concentrations of gases or vapours (types specified by 3M) up
to 50 x the Threshold Limit Value (TLV) or 1000ppm (5000ppm
for 6055) whichever value is lower.
• 6075 offers protection against organic vapour (as above) and
10ppm formaldehyde only.
• 6000 Series gas and vapour filters should not be used to
protect the wearer against a gas or vapour that has poor
warning properties (smell or taste).
When the 6000 Series Half Mask is fitted with
Particulate Filters:
• 5911 filters may be used in concentrations of particulates up to
4 x TLV.
• 5925, 2125 or 2128 filters may be used in concentrations of
particulates up to 12 x TLV.
• 5935, 2135, 2138 or 6035, 6038 filters may be used in
concentrations of particulates up to 50 x TLV.
• 2128 and 2138 filters may be used to protect against ozone
up to 10 x TLV and offers relief from acid gases and organic
vapours at levels below the TLV.
• 6038 offers protection against 10 x TLV Hydrogen Fluoride
and offers relief from acid gases and organic vapours at levels
below the TLV.
Cleaning and Storage
Cleaning is recommended after each use.
1.
Disassemble by removing the filters, head straps and other
parts.
2.
Clean and sanitize the mask (excluding filters) using 3M™
105 Face Seal Cleaner or immersing in warm cleaning
solution and scrubbing with a soft brush until clean. Parts
may also be cleaned in a domestic washer.
3.
Disinfect respirator by soaking in a solution of quaternary
ammonium disinfectant or sodium hypochlorite (30 ML
household bleach in 7.5L of water) or other disinfectant.
4.
Rinse in fresh, warm water and air-dry in noncontaminated
atmospheres.
Water temperature should not exceed 50°C.
Do not use cleaning agents that contain lanolin
or other oils.
Do not autoclave. .
Use Limitations
1.
These respirators do not supply oxygen. Do not use in oxygen
deficient areas.*
2.
Do not use for respiratory protection against atmospheric
contaminants, which have poor warning properties, are
unknown or immediately dangerous to life and health, or
against chemicals, which generate high heats of reaction
with chemical filters. (The 3M S-200 Supplied-Air Respirator
System can be used against contaminants with poor warning
properties, subject to other use limitations).
3.
Do not modify or alter this device.
4.
The assembled respirator may not provide a satisfactory face
seal with certain physical characteristics (such as beards or
large side burns) resulting in leakage between the respirator
and the face. The user assumes all risks of bodily injury,
which may possibly result.
5.
Do not use with unknown concentrations of contaminants.
6.
Do not use for escape purposes.
7.
Leave the work area immediately and check the integrity of
the respirator and replace respirator and / or filters if:
• Damage has occurred or is apparent.
• Breathing becomes difficult or increased breathing
resistance occurs.
• Dizziness or other distress occurs.
• You taste or smell the contaminant or an irritation occurs.
8.
Store this device in a sealed container away from
contaminated areas when not in use.
9.
Use strictly in accordance with respirator and filter user
instruction leaflet.
