These products meet the requirements of AS/NZS 1716:2012
and should be used in combination with a pair of approved 3M
filters to form a filtering apparatus for respiratory protection.
Such apparatus is designed to remove potentially harmful
particulates from the surrounding atmosphere. This apparatus
may also be used as a system with the 3M Air Supply Units
^ (see Reference Leaflet).
WARNINGS AND LIMITATIONS
Particular attention should be given to warning
statements where indicated.
^ WARNING

for use and save for continuing reference.
• Do not use in concentrations above those specified in
Technical Specification.
• Do not use for respiratory protection against atmospheric
contaminants/concentrations which have poor warning
properties or are unknown or immediately dangerous to
life and health (IDLH) or against
contaminants/concentrations which generate high heats
of reaction with chemical filters.
• Do not use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5%
oxygen. (3M definition. Individual countries may apply
their own limits on oxygen deficiency. Seek advice if in
doubt).
• Do not use these products in oxygen or oxygen-enriched
atmospheres.
• Only use with the Filters/Air Supply Units and
Spares/Accessories listed in the Reference Leaflet and
within the usage conditions given in the Technical
Specification.
• Only for use by trained competent personnel.

combination should be in accordance with applicable
Health and Safety standards, AS/NZS 1715, Respiratory
Selection Tables or in accordance with the
recommendations of an Occupational Hygienist.
• Filters need to be regularly changed. The frequency of
change depends on usage time and the concentration of
contaminant.
• For more information call the 3M Tech Assist Helpline 3M
Australia 1800 024 464, 3M New Zealand 0800 364 357.
• If using with a 3M™ Air Supply Unit:
• At very high work rates, the pressure in the face piece
may become negative at peak inhalation flow. Adjust
equipment as appropriate or consider an alternative form
of respiratory protective device.
• If using in Supplied Air mode, ensure that: • The source of
the air supply is known. • The purity of the air supply is
known. • The air supply is of a breathable quality to
AS/NZS 1715.
If during use the air supply stops or is reduced, vacate the
contaminated area immediately and investigate the cause.
• Take care to prevent the breathing tube from becoming
looped around protruding objects
• These products do not supply oxygen.
