Datasheet
1. These respirators do not supply oxygen. Do not use in oxygen
deficient areas.*
2. Do not use for respiratory protection against atmospheric
contaminants that have poor warning properties or are
unknown or immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) or
against contaminants, which generate high heats of reaction
with chemical filters. (The 3M SA-2100 Supplied-Air Respirator
System can be used against contaminants with poor warning
properties, subject to other use limitations).
3. Do not misuse, alter, modify or repair this product.
4. Do not use with beards or other facial hair that prevent direct
contact between the face and the edge of the respirator.
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 face mask 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.
* 3M definition minimum 19.5% by volume oxygen
Cleaning is recommended after each use.
1. Disassemble by removing the filters, nose cup, centre adapter,
lens, head straps and face seal.
2. Clean and sanitize the mask (excluding filters) using 3M™
Respirator Cleaning Wipes 504 or immersing in warm cleaning
solution of water and household soap, and scrubbing with a
soft brush until clean. Parts may also be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
3. Disinfect respirator by soaking in a solution of quaternary
ammonium disinfectant or sodium hypochlorite or other
disinfectant.
4. Rinse in fresh, warm water and air-dry in non-contaminated
atmospheres.
G Water temperature should not exceed 50°C. Do not use
cleaning agents that contain lanolin or other oils. Do not
autoclave.
G The lens is polycarbonate with an abrasion resistant
coating but abrasive cleaners and some solvents may
damage it. Avoid using acetone, methyl ethyl ketone,
toluene, methylene chloride and other strong solvents.

Approvals
When the 6000 Series Full Face Mask is fitted with Gas &
Vapour Filters:
� 6000 Series gas and vapour filters may be used in
concentrations of gases or vapours (types specified by 3M) up
to 50x the Exposure Standard (ES) or 1000ppm (100x ES or
5000ppm for 6055 and 6099) whichever value is lower.
� 6075 offers protection against organic vapour (as above) and
10ppm formaldehyde only.
� 6098 filters please see Instructions for Use or contact 3M for
further information.
� 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 Full Face Mask is fitted with Particulate
Filters:
� 5925, 2125 or 2128 filters may be used in concentrations of
particulates up to 50x ES.
� 5935, 2135, 2138 or 6035, 6038 may be used in concentrations
of particulates up to 100x ES.
� 2128 and 2138 filters may be used to protect against ozone up
to 10x ES and offers relief from acid gases and organic
vapours at levels below the ES.
� 6038 (not available in New Zealand) offers protection against
30ppm Hydrogen Fluoride and offers relief from ozone, acid
gases and organic vapours at levels below the ES.
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 B 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,
