USE INSTRUCTIONS & LIMITATIONS
IMPORTANT
Before use, the wearer must read and understand these User Instructions. Keep these User Instructions for reference.
Use For
Respiratory protection from certain airborne contaminants according to United States NIOSH approvals, OSHA
limitations, in Canada CSA standard Z94.4 requirements, applicable local government regulations and 3M
instructions. In Brazil, follow the Respiratory Protection Program of the Ministry of Labor.
Do Not Use For
Do not use for concentrations of contaminants which are immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH), are unknown
or when concentration exceeds 10 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) in air purifying mode, 50 times PEL in
supplied air mode or according to speci c 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 local government requirements. In the United States, employers must comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134
which includes training, medical evaluation, and t testing and applicable OSHA substance speci c standards.
In Canada, follow the recommendations of CSA Z94.4 and/or requirements of the applicable jurisdiction, as
appropriate. In Brazil, follow the Respiratory Protection Program of the Ministry of Labor requirements. When used
in supplied air mode, your employer must supply breathing air that meets at least the requirements of Grade D
breathing air in Compressed Gas Association Commodity Speci cations G-7.1-1997. In Canada, breathing air
systems must be supplied with air which meets at least the requirements of CSA Standard Z180.1.
3. The 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.
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.
In Brazil, breathing air systems must be supplied with air which meets ANSI Z86.1-1989/CGA G-7.1, Grade D
breathing air.
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 or health (IDLH), are
unknown or when concentrations exceed 10 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) when used in
air-purifying mode, or according to speci c United States OSHA standards or applicable local government
regulations, whichever is lower. When used as a straight, Type C, continuous ow supplied air respirator, the
Assigned Protection Factor is 50 times the PEL or TLV guidelines for half facepiece respirators.
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 contaminated area immediately and repair or replace the respirator.
2. Replace lters in accordance with the lter Time Use Limitation. (See lter User Instructions.)
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.
A - Not for use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5 percent oxygen.

donning.
S - Special or Critical User’s Instructions
3M™ Mercury Vapor Cartridges (6009 and 60929) are equipped with passive 3M™ End of Service Life Indicators
(ESLI) for mercury vapor. The color change indicator must be readily visible when wearing the respirator without
manipulation. If you cannot readily see the ESLI, do not use. The mercury vapor cartridges must be discarded when
the ESLI changes to the discard color found on the mercury vapor cartridge label; or within 30 days of opening
packaging; or when ESLI becomes dirty or damaged; or when odors of vapors or gases become noticeable; or
according to chlorine service life, whichever occurs rst. 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.
Cartridge and Filter Selection and Approvals
Before using any of these products, the user must read the specifi c use for, use limitations and warning information
in the User Instructions
Do not exceed maximum use concentrations established by local regulatory agencies. Cartridges/fi lters are approved
as assemblies for use with 3M™ Half Facepiece 6000 Series. For NIOSH approval, refer to approval label.

Service Life of Chemical Cartridges and Particulate Filters
6000 series cartridges should be used before the expiration date on cartridge packaging. The useful service life of
these cartridges will depend upon the activity of the wearer (breathing rate), speci c type, volatility and concentration
of contaminants and environmental conditions such as humidity, pressure, and temperature. Cartridges must
be replaced in accordance with an established change schedule, or earlier if smell, taste or irritation from the
contaminant is detected.
Particulate lters must be replaced if they become damaged, soiled or if increased breathing resistance occurs.
N-series lters should not be used in environments containing oils. R-series lters may be limited to 8 hours of
continuous or intermittent use if oil aerosols are present. In environments containing only oil aerosols, P-series lters
should be replaced after 40 hours of use or 30 days, whichever is rst.

The 3M™ 6000 Series Half Facepiece Respirators are NIOSH approved and designed to help provide respiratory
protection against certain airborne contaminants when used in accordance with all use instructions and limitations
and applicable safety and health regulations.
This product contains no components made from natural rubber latex.
W WARNING
This respirator helps protect against certain airborne contaminants. Misuse may result in
sickness or death.
These User Instructions provide information about facepiece use only. Important information is provided in the User
Instructions with each of the air ltration/supplied air systems that are NIOSH certi ed to be used with the half
Facepiece Respirator 6000 Series. Failure to follow User Instructions for the air ltration/supplied air systems being
used may result in sickness or death.
When in supplied air mode, your employer must provide breathing air that meets at least the requirements of the
speci cation for Grade D breathing air, as described in the Compressed Gas Association Commodity Speci cation
G-7.1-1997 in the United States. In Canada, breathing air systems must be supplied with air, which meets at least the
requirements of CSA Standard Z180.1. Failure to do so may result in sickness or death.
In Brazil, breathing air systems must be supplied with air which meets ANSI Z86.1-1989/CGA G-7.1, Grade D
