6000 Series Half-Mask

Respirators

Data Sheet

The table above lists the filters and typical industrial

applications.

The 6000 Series half masks can be used in a variety of

different filter / product options :

• Gas and vapour filters - The 6000 Series filters fit directly

onto the 6000 Series half masks.

• Particulate filters - The 2000 Series particulate filters fit

directly on to the 6000 Series half masks. The 5911 / 5925 /

5935 particulate filters may be used on their own with platform

603 & retainer 501.

Main Features

The 6000 Series Respirators are used with twin lightweight filters

which are fitted by a simple bayonet attachment system,

providing an economical and flexible choice. The respirators can

also be used with the 3M S-200 Supplied-Air System for increased

convenience and flexibility.

• Lightweight

• Flexible system (gas / vapour and / or particulate filters

plus Supplied-Air option)

• Hypo-allergenic facepiece material

• Easy to use

• Well balanced

• 3 sizes (6100 - small, 6200 - medium, 6300 - large)

Gas/vapour

• A combination of gas / vapour and particulate filters - The

5911 / 5925 / 5935 particulate filters can be used with 6000

Series gas / vapour filters using retainer 501.

Note: the 6098 or 6099 filters should not be used with the

6000 Series half masks.

• Supplied-air mode using the 3M S-200 Respirator System

(For information on the Supplied-Air System and applications

please see the 3M S-200 Data Sheet).

Correct Usage

The 6000 Series facepieces when fitted with 6000 Series

gas/vapour filters may be used in concentrations of gases or

vapours (types specified by 3M) up to 10 times WEL or 1000 ppm

(5000 ppm for 6055) whichever value is lower (APF = 10)*.

Gas/vapour filters should not be used to protect the wearer

against a gas or vapour that has poor warning properties (smell

or taste).

• The 6000 Series facepieces when used in conjunction with the

5911 filter may be used in concentrations of solid and aqueous

aerosols up to 4 times WEL (APF = 4)*.

• The 6000 Series facepieces when used in conjunction

with the 5925, 2125, or 2128 filters may be used in

concentrations of particulates up to 10 times WEL

(APF = 10)*.

• The 6000 Series facepieces when used in conjunction

with the 5935, 2135, 6038, 6035, or 2138 may be used in

concentrations of particulates up to 20 times WEL

(APF = 20)*.

• The 6000 Series facepieces when used in conjunction with the

2128 and 2138 may be used to protect against ozone up to 10

times WEL (APF = 10)* and offer relief from nuisance odours

below the WEL.

• The 6000 Series facepieces when used in conjunction with the

2128 and 2138 may be used to offer relief from acid gases

below the WEL.

• The 6000 Series facepieces when used with the 6038 filter

may be used to protect against Hydrogen Fluoride gas up to

30ppm and offer relief from Ozone, Organic Vapours and acid

gases below WEL.

*WEL - Workplace Exposure Limit.

Cleaning and Storage

1. Cleaning is recommended after each use. Remove the

gas/vapour and/or particulate filters.

2. Clean the facepiece (excluding filters) with 3M 105 face seal

cleaners or by immersing in warm cleaning solution, water

temperature not to exceed 50°C and scrub with soft brush until

clean. Add neutral detergent if necessary.

Do not use cleaners containing lanolin or other oils.

3. Rinse in fresh, warm water and air dry in a non- contaminated

atmosphere.

4. Respirator components, especially exhalation valve and seat,

should be inspected prior to each use. A respirator with any

damaged or deteriorated components should be discarded.

5. The cleaned respirator should be stored away from

contaminated areas when not in use.

Fitting Instructions

Fitting instructions must be followed each time the respirator is

worn.

1. Place the respirator

over the mouth and

nose, then pull the

harness over the

crown of the head.

2. Take the bottom

straps in both hands,

place them at the

back of the neck and

hook them together.

3. Tighten the top

straps first by pulling

on ends

to achieve a

comfortable and

secure fit.

4. Tighten bottom

straps using either

front or rear

adjustments.

(Strap tension

may be decreased by

pushing out on back

side of buckles).

5. Perform a positive

and/or negative

pressure fit check

(see overleaf).

05/2007 CH6000HMDS

Face Fitting

The negative pressure fit check is recommended when using the

6035, 6038 and 2000 Series filters; the positive pressure fit check

is recommended when using other filters.

Positive Pressure Facefit Check

Place the palm of the hand over the exhalation valve cover and

exhale gently.

If the facepiece bulges slightly and no air leaks between the face

and the facepiece are detected, a proper fit has been achieved.

If air leakage is detected, reposition the respirator on the face

and/or readjust the elastic strap to eliminate the leakage.

Repeat the above facefit check.

Negative Pressure Facefit Check

For the 2000 Series filters, press your thumbs into the central

indentation of the filters, inhale gently and hold your breath for

five or ten seconds.

For the 6035 and 6038 filters, pinch the filter between thumb and

fingers to seal the filter cover to the body of the filter, inhale gently

and hold your breath for five or ten seconds.

If the facepiece collapses slightly a proper fit has been achieved.

If air leakage is detected, reposition the respirator on the face

and/or readjust the elastic strap to eliminate the leakage.

Repeat the above facefit check.

If you cannot achieve a proper fit, do not enter the contaminated

area. See your supervisor.

Respiratory protection is only effective if it is correctly selected,

fitted and worn throughout the time when the wearer is exposed

to respiratory contaminants.

correct fitting and usage.

Use Limitations

1. These respirators do not supply oxygen.

Do not use in oxygen deficient atmospheres *

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 facepiece

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 facepiece and/or filters if:

i) Damage has occurred or is apparent.

ii) Breathing becomes difficult or increased breathing

resistance occurs.

iii) Dizziness or other distress occurs.

iv) 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 face piece and filter instruction

leaflet.
