d. Do not use with parts or accessories other than those manufactured by 3M as described in these
User Instructions or on the NIOSH approval label for this respirator.
7. The SideWindows should be covered with the coverplates in situations when other welders are working
beside you and in situations where reflected light can pass through the SideWindows.
8. Should the 3M™ Speedglas™ Auto Darkening Filter (ADF) fail to switch to dark mode upon striking an
arc, stop welding immediately and inspect the ADF as described in these User Instructions. Continued use
of an ADF that fails to switch to the dark state may result in permanent eye injury and vision loss. If
the problem cannot be identified and corrected, do not use the ADF; contact your supervisor, distributor or
3M for assistance.
9. Carefully inspect the complete 3M™ Speedglas™ ADF 9100 before each use. Cracked, pitted or
scratched filter glass or protection plates reduce vision and can seriously impair protection. All damaged
components should be replaced immediately. Remove any protective film from the viewing surfaces.
10. The 3M™ Speedglas™ Welding Helmet 9100 MP (used with 3M™ Speedglas™ ADF 9100 Series) is not
suitable for laser welding or welding processes that require shade 14 or higher filters. Use of this product
for these applications may result in permanent eye injury and vision loss.

Respirator Program Management

Occupational use of respirators must be in compliance with applicable health and safety standards. By law,
US 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.
For additional information on this standard contact OSHA at www.OSHA.gov. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4
requirements must be met and/or requirements of the applicable jurisdiction, as appropriate. The major sections
of 1910.134 are listed here for reference. Consult an industrial hygienist or call 3M Technical Service with
questions concerning applicability of these products to your job requirements.
