1. These respirators do not supply oxygen. Do not use in oxygen
deficient areas*
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 SA-2000 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 respirator
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 respirator and / or filters 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, head straps and other
parts.
2. Clean and sanitize the respirator (excluding filters) using 3M™
Respirator Cleaning Wipes 504 or immersing in warm cleaning
solution and scrubbing with a soft brush until clean. Parts may
also be cleaned in a domestic washer.
3. Disinfect respirator by soaking in a solution of quaternary
ammonium disinfectant or sodium hypochlorite (30 mL
household bleach in 7.5L of water) or other disinfectant.
4. Rinse in fresh, warm water and air-dry in noncontaminated
atmospheres.

Correct Usage
Approvals
When the 6000 Series Half Face Respirator is fitted with Gas &
Vapour Filters:
�
6000 Series gas and vapour filters, it may be used in
concentrations of gases or vapours (types specified by 3M) up
to 10x the Exposure Standard (ES) or 1000ppm whichever
value is lower.
�
6075 offers protection against organic vapour (as above) and a
maximum of 10ppm formaldehyde only.
�
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).
