Gas/Vapour Filter Classes
The 6000 Series gas/vapour ¿lters are also classi¿ed, into one of two classes, depending on their capacity to remove
contaminants from the inhaled air

Note: AX Àlters are for single use only
The ¿lter should not be used on a second shift even if these maximum usage times are not exceeded. When changing ¿lters ensure that both ¿lters are
replaced simultaneously.
