These fitting instructions must be followed each time a three-panel filtering facepiece respirator is worn.
WARNING
!
Filtering facepiece particulate respirators are intended to help reduce breathing in airborne particles such as dust. If you do not follow all instructions and limitations on the use of this
respirator and/or do not wear this respirator during all times of exposure to the particles, the respirator may not be as effective. The respirator cannot stop the breathing in of all particles
in the air and does not eliminate the risk of symptoms or sickness. Misuse may result in sickness or death. For correct use of this respirator, consult the supervisor and User
Instructions, or call 3M at 1-800-247-3941.
1. Prepare to Use Respirator
Remove the respirator from its packaging and hold with straps facing
upward. Place the bottom strap under the center flaps next to the
“WARNING” statement.
Fully open the top and bottom panels, bending the nosepiece around
your thumb at center of the foam. Straps should separate when panels are
opened. Make certain the bottom panel is unfolded and completely
opened.
2. Place Respirator on Face 3. Adjust the Metal
Nosepiece 4. Check Respirator-to-Face Seal
Place the respirator on your face
so that the foam rests on your
nose and the bottom panel is
securely under your chin.
Pull the top strap over your head
and position it high on the back
of the head.
Then, pull the bottom strap over
your head and position it around
your neck and below your ears.
Adjust for a comfortable
fit by pulling the top panel
toward the bridge of your nose
and positioning the
bottom panel under your chin.
Place fingertips from both hands
at the top of your nose and mold
the nosepiece around your nose
to achieve a secure seal.
For non-valved respirators:
Place one or both hands
completely over the middle
panel. Inhale and exhale sharply.
If air leaks around your nose,
readjust the nosepiece. If air
leaks between the face and
faceseal of the respirator,
reposition it by adjusting the
panels and straps. If you cannot
achieve a proper seal, do not
enter the contaminated area.
See your supervisor.

Considerations for Use
3M™ Particulate Filtering Facepiece Respirators N95 are intended to cover the nose and mouth of the wearer to help reduce wearer
exposure to airborne particles.
1. Select the Right Respirator
•3M respirators are adult size respirators. To determine if the respirator fits you, follow the fitting instructions included with the respirator.
Always check your fit when you wear it.
•3M respirators are certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). For more information on NIOSH
certification see the NIOSH approval label included in the packaging.
2. When to Wear Your Respirator
•To be most effective, the respirator must be worn whenever you are exposed to the particles to which you wish to reduce your exposure.
3. Use it Correctly
•Although respirators can help reduce the number of particles you breathe, they will not eliminate the risk of symptoms or sickness.
•Do not alter, abuse or use this respirator other than as stated.
4. Prepare Yourself
•Practice putting on the respirator before you enter the contaminated the area.
•Anything that comes between the respirator and your face will make the respirator less effective by interfering with its fit.
•Men should shave every day that they may use the respirator. Hair, jewelry and clothing should not be between your face and the
respirator.
•Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water, or use hand sanitizer, before handling the respirator.
5. Inspect Your Respirator

been damaged – DO NOT USE IT. Get a new one.
6. How to Wear
•Follow the fitting instructions included with the respirator. Fitting instructions are also available on 3M’s website
www.3M.com/workersafety.
7. When to Replace
•Go to a clean, safe area, and replace your respirator if it is damaged, or if it becomes harder to breathe through.
• You should never wash, disinfect, reuse or share your respirator with others.
8. Do Not Use
•Do not use filtering facepiece particulate respirators for gases and vapors, areas with low oxygen levels, asbestos, lead, large areas of
