This cartridge helps reduce exposure to certain airborne contaminants but does not
eliminate exposure or the risk of contracting disease or infection. Misuse may result in
sickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor or User Instructions
Important
This cartridge is NIOSH approved only with the 3M™ FR-M40 Full Facepiece, 3M™ 6000DIN Series
Full Facepiece and 3M™ 7800S Full Facepiece Respirators for certain organic vapors, sulfur dioxide,
chlorine, hydrogen chloride, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen fluoride, ammonia, methylamine, formaldehyde,
hydrogen sulfide (escape only), phosphine, chloroaceteophenone (CN) or o-chlorobenzylidene
malononitrile (CS); and as a P100 particulate filter. It is not NIOSH approved with the standard Military
M40 Chemical Biological Mask. Before use, the wearer must read and understand these User Instructions
and the User Instructions enclosed with the facepiece. Keep these instructions for future reference.
Use For
Respiratory protection from certain organic vapors, sulfur dioxide, chlorine, hydrogen chloride, chlorine
dioxide, hydrogen fluoride, ammonia, methylamine, formaldehyde, hydrogen sulfide (escape only),
phosphine, chloroaceteophenone (CN) or o-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile (CS) and P100 particulates
when used with the 3M™ FR-M40 Full Facepiece, 3M™ 6000DIN Series Full Facepiece and 3M™
7800S Full Facepiece Respirators in accordance with all use and limitation instructions and applicable
safety and health regulations. The respirator may be used at concentrations up to 50 times the PEL or
airborne exposure limit if quantitative fit testing (QNFT) is utilized. The respirator may be used at
concentrations up to 10 times the PEL or airborne exposure limit if qualitative fit testing (QLFT) is
utilized. The respirator must be used at concentrations lower than the immediately dangerous to life or
health (IDLH) limit.
Do Not Use For
Concentrations of contaminants that are immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) or are unknown
or when concentrations exceed the use limitations for the respirator specified in OSHA standards or
applicable government regulations, whichever is lower.
Concentrations of contaminants greater than 50 times the PEL or airborne exposure limit if quantitative
fit testing (QNFT) has been utilized or 10 times the PEL or airborne exposure limit if qualitative fit testing
(QLFT) has been utilized or concentrations above the IDLH limit, whichever is lower.
Use Instructions
1. Failure to follow all instructions and limitations on the use of this cartridge and/ or failure to wear the
respirator during all times of exposure can reduce respirator effectiveness and may result in sickness
or death.
2. Before occupational use of this cartridge, a written respiratory protection program must be
implemented meeting all the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 such as training and fit testing,
and applicable OSHA substance specific standards. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4 requirements
must be met.

3. The airborne contaminants which can be dangerous to your health include those so small that you
cannot see them.
4. Leave the contaminated area immediately and contact supervisor if you smell or taste contaminants or
if dizziness, irritation, or other distress occurs.
5. Store the cartridge and respirator away from contaminated areas when not in use.
Use Limitations
1. This cartridge does not supply oxygen. Do not use in atmospheres that are oxygen deficient (<19.5%
oxygen).
2. Do not alter, abuse or misuse this cartridge or respirator.
3. Do not use respirator with beards or other facial hair or other conditions that prevent direct contact
between face and respirator face seal.
Time Use Limitations
1. For use with particulates: if cartridge becomes damaged, soiled, or breathing becomes difficult, leave
the contaminated area immediately and replace the cartridge. If used in environments containing oily
aerosols, dispose of cartridge after 40 hours of use or 30 days, whichever is first.
2. For use with chemical contaminants: replace cartridge in accordance with an established change
schedule or earlier if smell, taste or irritation from contaminants is detected. If a change schedule has
not been developed do not enter contaminated area. See supervisor. For guidance on development of
change schedule, please see the 3M OH&ESD web site (http://www.mmm.com/occsafety/, the OSHA
web site (http://www.osha-slc.gov/SLTC/respiratoryprotection/changeout.html) or contact 3M
Technical Service in U.S.A.
3. Dispose of cartridge in accordance with applicable regulations.
Assembly
Do not open until ready to use. Only one FR-64 Cartridge is required. See facepiece User Instructions for
assembly instructions specific to that facepiece.
1. Open the cartridge packaging. Remove cap and plug from cartridge.
2. Screw the cartridge into the cartridge inlet port on the facepiece.
3. Hand-tighten the cartridge completely so that an airtight seal is achieved. Do not overtighten the
cartridge as this can cause distortion or displacement of the air inlet seal.
