Standards These products have been tested to the relevant European Standards as shown below: Cleaning and Storage Facepiece EN140:1998 (6100, 6200, 6300) 1. Cleaning is recommended after each use. Remove the gas/vapour and/or particulate filters. Filter EN141:2000 (6054, 6057, 6059, 6075 & 6096) EN14387:2004 (6051, 6055) EN 143:2000 (2125, 2128, 2135, 2138, 5911, 5925, 5935, 6035, 6038) 2. Clean the facepiece (excluding filters) with 3M 105 face seal cleaners or by immersing in warm cleaning solution, water temperature not to exceed 50C 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). 3M Spare Parts and Accessories 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. Part No. Description 6895 6000 Series gaskets Positive Pressure Facefit Check 501 Filter retainer for 5911, 5925 or 5935 Place the palm of the hand over the exhalation valve cover and exhale gently. 603 Particulate filter platform 105 Facepiece cleaner 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. 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. * 3M definition minimum 19.5% by volume oxygen. 3M offers advice on the selection of products, and training in the correct fitting and usage.
