Safety Information
Read, understand, and follow all safety information contained in these instructions prior to installation and use
of the 3M
™
Static Control Anti-Fatigue Mat 9900 Series. Retain these instructions for future reference.
Intended Use
The 3M Static Control Anti-Fatigue Mats are intended for use in electronic/electrical assembly facilities
requiring conductive floor matting for control of static electricity. They are intended for use in an indoor
environment and not intended for use where insulating matting is required. They have not been evaluated for
other uses or locations.

Lifting hazard
WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with hazardous voltage due to 3M
™
9900 Series Mats being used in areas
requiring insulating type matting:
• 9900 Series Mats are electrically conductive -- do not use these mats in areas with possible exposure to high
voltage.
To reduce the risk associated with hazardous voltage due to 9900 Series Mats being installed with an
incorrect grounding lead:
• Do not use M 9900 Series Mats without correct grounding cord, M
™
Ground Cord 040.
To reduce the risk associated with hazardous voltage due to 9900 Series Mats being grounded through an
alternate ground path:
• Grounded equipment or objects should not contact the mat. This could bypass the 1.0 M
Ω
resistor in the ground
cord.
To reduce the risk associated with back strain due to the heavy weight of the mats:
• Follow safe lifting procedures during installation or moving.
To reduce the risk associated with foot slip hazards due to improper maintenance:
• Follow proper cleaning procedures as outlined in this instruction manual.
• Do not use paste wax or vinyl cleaners such as Armor All
®
.
• Do not treat the mat surface with any protective films or floor finishes.
