6000 Series alf-Mask
Respirators
Data Sheet
The table above lists the filters and typical industrial
applications.
The 6000 Series half masks can be used in a variety of
different filter / product options :
• Gas and vapour ilters - The 6000 Series filters fit directly
onto the 6000 Series half masks.
• Particulate ilters - The 2000 Series particulate filters fit
directly on to the 6000 Series half masks. The 5911 / 5925 /
5935 particulate filters may be used on their own with platform
603 & retainer 501.
Main Features
The 6000 Series Respirators are used with twin lightweight filters
which are fitted by a simple bayonet attachment system,
providing an economical and flexible choice. The respirators can
also be used with the 3M S-200 Supplied-Air System for increased
convenience and flexibility.

Gas/vapour

• A combination o gas / vapour and particulate ilters - The
5911 / 5925 / 5935 particulate filters can be used with 6000
Series gas / vapour filters using retainer 501.

Correct Usage
The 6000 Series facepieces when fitted with 6000 Series
gas/vapour filters may be used in concentrations of gases or
vapours (types specified by 3M) up to 10 times WEL or 1000 ppm
(5000 ppm for 6055) whichever value is lower (APF = 10)*.
Gas/vapour filters should not be used to protect the wearer
against a gas or vapour that has poor warning properties (smell
or taste).
• The 6000 Series facepieces when used in conjunction with the
5911 filter may be used in concentrations of solid and aqueous
aerosols up to 4 times WEL (APF = 4)*.
• The 6000 Series facepieces when used in conjunction
with the 5925, 2125, or 2128 filters may be used in
concentrations of particulates up to 10 times WEL
(APF = 10)*.
• The 6000 Series facepieces when used in conjunction
with the 5935, 2135, 6038, 6035, or 2138 may be used in
concentrations of particulates up to 20 times WEL
(APF = 20)*.
• The 6000 Series facepieces when used in conjunction with the
2128 and 2138 may be used to protect against ozone up to 10
times WEL (APF = 10)* and offer relief from nuisance odours
below the WEL.
• The 6000 Series facepieces when used in conjunction with the
2128 and 2138 may be used to offer relief from acid gases
below the WEL.
• The 6000 Series facepieces when used with the 6038 filter
may be used to protect against ydrogen Fluoride gas up to
30ppm and offer relief from Ozone, Organic Vapours and acid
gases below WEL.
*WEL - Workplace Exposure Limit.
Cleaning and Storage
1. Cleaning is recommended after each use. Remove the
gas/vapour and/or particulate filters.
2. Clean the facepiece (excluding filters) with 3M 105 face seal
cleaners or by immersing in warm cleaning solution, water
temperature not to exceed 50°C and scrub with soft brush until
clean. Add neutral detergent if necessary.
Do not use cleaners containing lanolin or other oils.
3. Rinse in fresh, warm water and air dry in a non- contaminated
atmosphere.
4. Respirator components, especially exhalation valve and seat,
should be inspected prior to each use. A respirator with any
damaged or deteriorated components should be discarded.
5. The cleaned respirator should be stored away from
contaminated areas when not in use.

Fitting Instructions
Fitting instructions must be followed each time the respirator is
worn.
1. Place the respirator
over the mouth and
nose, then pull the
harness over the
crown of the head.
2. Take the bottom
straps in both hands,
place them at the
back of the neck and
hook them together.
3. Tighten the top
straps first by pulling
on ends
to achieve a
comfortable and
secure fit.
4. Tighten bottom
straps using either
front or rear
adjustments.
(Strap tension
may be decreased by
pushing out on back
side of buckles).
5. Perform a positive
and/or negative
pressure fit check
(see overleaf).

05/2007 C 6000 MDS
Face Fitting
The negative pressure fit check is recommended when using the
6035, 6038 and 2000 Series filters; the positive pressure fit check
is recommended when using other filters.
Positive Pressure Face it Check
Place the palm of the hand over the exhalation valve cover and
exhale gently.
If the facepiece bulges slightly and no air leaks between the face
and the facepiece are detected, a proper fit has been achieved.
If air leakage is detected, reposition the respirator on the face
and/or readjust the elastic strap to eliminate the leakage.
Repeat the above facefit check.
Negative Pressure Face it Check
For the 2000 Series filters, press your thumbs into the central
indentation of the filters, inhale gently and hold your breath for
five or ten seconds.
For the 6035 and 6038 filters, pinch the filter between thumb and
fingers to seal the filter cover to the body of the filter, inhale gently
and hold your breath for five or ten seconds.
If the facepiece collapses slightly a proper fit has been achieved.
If air leakage is detected, reposition the respirator on the face
and/or readjust the elastic strap to eliminate the leakage.
Repeat the above facefit check.
If you cannot achieve a proper fit, do not enter the contaminated
area. See your supervisor.
Respiratory protection is only effective if it is correctly selected,
fitted and worn throughout the time when the wearer is exposed
to respiratory contaminants.
3M offers advice on the selection of products, and training in the
correct fitting and usage.

Use Limitations
1. These respirators do not supply oxygen.
Do not use in oxygen deficient atmospheres *
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 S-200 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 facepiece
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 facepiece and/or filters if:
i) Damage has occurred or is apparent.
ii) Breathing becomes difficult or increased breathing
resistance occurs.
iii) Dizziness or other distress occurs.
iv) 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 face piece and filter instruction
leaflet.
