N - Never substitute, modify, add, or omit parts. Use only exact replacement parts in the configuration as specified by the manufacturer.
O - Refer to User's Instructions, and/or maintenance manuals for information on use and maintenance of these respirators.
S - Special or critical User's Instructions and/or specific use limitations apply. Refer to User's Instructions before donning.
S - Special or Critical User's Instructions
3M™ Organic Vapor Service Life Indicator Cartridges (6001i and 60921i) are equipped with a passive 3M™ End of Service Life Indicator (ESLI). The
indicator must be readily seen when wearing the respirator. If you cannot readily see the ESLI, use a mirror to observe the ESLI; rely on a co-worker
who can see the ESLI; or go to a clean area, remove the respirator and view the ESLI. Do not rely solely on the organic vapor ESLI unless your
employer has determined that it is appropriate for your workplace. See 6001i or 60921i User Instructions for more information, including Special
Instructions regarding the ESLI.
3M™ Mercury Vapor, Organic Vapor and Acid Gas Cartridges (6007 and 60927) must be discarded within 50 hours of use against mercury vapor.
3M™ Particulate Filter P95, Hydrogen Fluoride, with Nuisance Level Acid Gas Relief, 2076HF and 3M™ Particulate Filter P100, Hydrogen Fluoride,
with Nuisance Level Acid Gas Relief, 7093C are recommended for relief against nuisance levels of acid gases or organic vapors. Nuisance level refers
to concentrations not exceeding OSHA PEL or applicable government occupational exposure limits, whichever is lower. Do not use for respiratory
protection against acid gases or organic vapors except hydrogen fluoride.
To assemble 3M™ Dual Airline Combination Breathing Tubes with 3M™ Cartridges/Filters, the facepiece inhalation valves must be removed.
If the facepiece is to be used in air-purifying mode (without using the 3M™ Breathing Tubes SA-1600 or SA-2600), the inhalation valves must be
replaced in the facepiece before use.

Respirator Program Management

Occupational use of respirators must be in compliance with applicable health and safety standards. By law U.S. employers must establish a written
respiratory protection program meeting the requirements of the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard 29 CFR 1910.134 and any applicable OSHA
substance specific standards. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4 requirements must be met and/or requirements of the applicable jurisdiction, as
appropriate. In Brazil, follow the Respiratory Protection Program of the Ministry of Labor.
For additional information on this standard contact OSHA at www.OSHA.gov. Consult an industrial hygienist or call 3M Technical Service with
questions concerning applicability of these products to your job requirements.

Type of Respirator
Full Facepiece Negative Pressure Air Purifying Respirator
Full Facepiece Supplied Air Respirator (SAR) Continuous Flow
The respirator wearer must be fit tested using a quantitative fit test method in order to use an assigned protection factor greater than 10 when used
1
as a negative pressure air purifying respirator.
In Brazil, according to the Respiratory Protection Program of the Ministry of Labor, do not use quantitatively fit tested full facepiece respirators when
concentrations of contaminants are greater than 100 times the permissible exposure limit in air-purifying mode.
