SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
These filters meet the requirements of EN143:2000,
Particle Filter(s) and should be used in combination
with an approved 3M™ Facepiece to form a filtering
apparatus for respiratory protection against certain
solid and liquid airborne particles. Filter performance
data is detailed in the Technical Specification. In
addition, the 3M™ 5000 Series particle filters may be
used in conjunction with the 3M™ 6000 Series gas
and vapour filters. To use with 3M™ 6000 filters, a
3M™ 501 filter retainer is required. Alternatively, the
5000 series filters can be used on their own,with a
3M 501 filter retainer, and a 3M™ 603 filter platform.
For permitted filter combinations see Fig. 1.

• accompanying other components of the system
• Do not use in concentrations above those specified
in the Technical Specification.
• Do not use for respiratory protection against
atmospheric contaminants/concentrations which are
unknown or immediately dangerous to life and health
(IDLH).
• 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).
• Only for use by trained, competent personnel.
• Leave the contaminated area immediately if:
a) Any part of the system becomes damaged.
b) Airflow to the facepiece decreases or stops.
c) Breathing becomes difficult or increased breathing
resistance occurs.
d) Dizziness or other distress occurs.
e) You smell or taste contaminants or irritation occurs.
These products do not contain components made
from natural rubber latex.
National regulations may impose specific limitations
on the use of filters depending on the filter class and
the facepiece used. Use of any 3M™ Facepiece /
Filter combination should be in accordance with
applicable Health and Safety standards, 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 Health & Safety
Helpline on 0870 60 800 60 (UK) or 1 800 320 500
(Ireland).
Particulate filters must be changed when breathing

continuing reference.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1 Place the filter into the 501 retainer so that the
printed side will face the gas and vapour filter (fig 2).
Check that the filter lies flat. 2 Place the 501 retainer
onto the gas and vapour filter, it should lock
securely.The filter should completely cover the face of
the gas and vapour filter. (fig 3). 3 If using the 3M
5000 Series on its own, fix 603 to the facepiece, place
3M 5000 filter on 603 and clamp the 501 onto the 603
platform. Ensure that the printed side of the filter is
facing the 603 platform. 4 Remove to replace filter by
lifting on tab as shown (fig 4). These filters are
supplied in pairs of identical class and type and must
be fitted, used and replaced at the same time (as
shown). The effective life of a filter will vary depending
on the level of contaminant, work rate, exposure time
etc. Particulate filters must be changed when
breathing resistance becomes unacceptable.
Disposal of parts should be undertaken in accordance
with local health and safety and environmental
regulations.
STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION
These products should be stored in the packaging
provided in dry, clean conditions away from direct
