GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

These 3M™ Airline Adapter and Regulating Kits are to be used with 3M™ 6000DIN or 7000 Series Full

Facepieces as specified in the NIOSH approval. When used as directed by the NIOSH approval, and in

accordance with the use and maintenance instructions, these systems can provide positive pressure supplied

air respiratory protection.

List of Warnings and Cautions within these User Instructions

This product helps protect against certain airborne contaminants. Misuse may result in sickness or death.

For proper use, see supervisor, User Instructions or call 3M in U.S.A., 1-800-243-4630. In Canada, call

Technical Service at 1-800-267-4414.

The length of compressed air hose W-3020 used depends on the specifications of the low-pressure air pump

utilized. Some pumps specify a minimum of 50 or 100 feet of hose to allow adequate cooling of the air

heated by the pump's mechanism. Read the pump's instructions thoroughly before selecting the compressed

air hose W-3020 length that will be used. NO PUMP IS TO BE USED WHICH COULD CAUSE AIR

HOTTER THAN 160º F (71º C) TO ENTER THE COMPRESSED AIR HOSE W-3020. Air hotter than 160º

F (71º C) will cause the hose to degrade, which would adversely affect respirator performance and may

result in sickness or death.

To meet the NIOSH requirement 42 CFR 84, subpart 84.150 for minimum and maximum airflow (4 to 15

cfm, 115 to 425 lpm), these air control devices approved for use with the 3M™ 7000 or 6000DIN Series Full

Facepieces must be operated within the supply pressure ranges and hose lengths stated in the "Specifications"

section. Failure to do so may affect respirator performance and result in sickness or death.

You must comply with OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.134, which states that, "Airline couplings shall be

incompatible with outlets for other gas systems to prevent inadvertent servicing of airline respirators with

nonrespirable gases or oxygen." In Canada, refer to the requirements of CSA Standard Z180.1 or the

authority having jurisdiction in your region. Failure to do so may result in sickness or death.

Your employer must provide breathing air that meets at least the requirements of the specification for Grade

D breathing air, as described in the Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification G-7.1 in the

United States. In Canada, refer to CSA standard Z180.1, table for the quality of compressed breathing air.

Failure to do so may result in sickness or death.

The line pressure must be kept within safe limits, 125 psig (8.75 kg/cm

) maximum. Dirt, oil and water,

unless trapped or filtered out, may continue downstream in concentrated form and adversely affect the

performance of the respirator and may result in sickness or death.

Use of equipment described in these User Instructions must be in accordance with applicable health and

safety standards, respirator selection tables contained in such publications as ANSI Z88.2, CSA Standard

Z94.4, or pursuant to the recommendations of an industrial hygienist. Before occupational use of these
