Correct Usage
When the Full Face mask FF-400 Series is fitted with Gas &
Vapour Filters:
• 6000 Series gas and vapour filters may be used in
concentrations of gases or vapours (types specified by 3M)
up to 200 x the Threshold Limit Value (TLV) or 1000 ppm
(5000 ppm for 6055 and 6099) whichever value is lower
• 6075 offers protection against organic vapour (as above) and
10 ppm formaldehyde only
• 6098 filters please see Instructions for Use or contact 3M for
further information
• 6000 Series gas and vapour fi lters should not be used to
protect the wearer against a gas or vapour that has poor
warning properties (smell or taste)
When the Full Face mask FF-400 Series is fitted with
Particulate Filters:
• 5911 filters may be used in concentrations of particulates up
to 4 x TLV
• 5925, 2125 or 2128 filters may be used in concentrations of
particulates up to 16 x TLV
• 5935, 2135, 2138 or 6035, 6038 may be used in
concentrations of particulates up to 200 x TLV
• 2128 and 2138 filters may be used to protect against ozone
up to 10 x TLV and offers relief from acid gases and organic
vapours at levels below the TLV
• 6038 offers protection against 30ppm Hydrogen Fluoride and
offers relief from acid gases and organic vapours at levels
below the TLV
Use Limitations
1. These respirators do not supply oxygen. Do not use in oxygen
deficient areas.*
2. Do not use for respiratory protection against atmospheric
contaminants that have poor warning properties or are
unknown or immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH)
or against contaminants, 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 misuse, alter, modify or repair this product.
4. Do not use with beards or other facial hair that prevent direct
contact between the face and the edge of the respirator.
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 face mask if:
• Damage has occurred or is apparent
• Breathing becomes diffi cult or increased breathing
resistance occurs
• Dizziness or other distress occurs
• 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 respirator and filter user
instruction leaflet.

Fitting Instructions
Before assigning any respirator to be worn in a contaminated
area, we recommend that a qualitative or quantitative fit check
be performed before entering the workplace.
Fitting instructions must be followed each time the respirator is
worn.
1. Fully loosen all head straps.
2. Hold the front of the mask with one hand and the straps/
comfort cradle away from the mask with the other hand,
creating an opening for the head. Pull the face mask down
over the head and put face through the opening. First place
the nose in the nose cup and chin in the chin cup area then
press the facepiece firmly and evenly against the face.
3. Pull head harness to back of head.
4. Tighten the bottom straps one at a time. Be careful to tighten
both sides equally. Tighten middle, then top straps in a
similar manner. Repeat step 4 twice, once to snug the straps
and take up slack and a second time to secure and seal the
respirator facepiece to the face.
Recheck all straps to ensure that they are tight and evenly
tensioned so that the head harness is centred on the back of
your head. Ensure that the straps and tabs lay flat against your
head. If possible, have a partner verify that you have donned
your respirator properly.

Fit Check/User Seal Check
User Seal Checks
Always check the seal of the respirator on your face before
entering a contaminated area.
The positive pressure seal check is the primary and preferred
method for verification of a good seal. The negative pressure
user seal check can also be done for additional verification of a
good seal for this respirator with 3M™ 6000 Series Cartridges
and Filters. Be careful not to disturb the respirator seal by
pressing too forcefully during negative pressure seal checks.
Positive Pressure User Seal Check
1. Remove the exhalation valve cover by depressing bottom of
cover with thumb and sliding cover up, parallel with lens.
2. Place the palm of your hand over the exhalation valve and
exhale gently. If the facepiece bulges slightly and no air leaks
are detected between the face and the facepiece, a proper
seal has been obtained. If faceseal air leakage is detected,
reposition the respirator on your face and/or readjust the
tension of the straps to eliminate leakage and recheck seal.
3. Replace exhalation valve cover.
Care must be taken when performing the positive pressure seal
check not to exhale too hard. The aim is to check the seal, not
disturb the seal between the mask and the face.
If you CANNOT achieve a proper fit DO NOT enter the
hazardous area. See your supervisor.
