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.
3M offers advice on the selection of products, and training in the
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
