* 07185 is a catalog number only. NIOSH approved as 3M™ Particulate Respirator N95 8511.

See insert for approval label.

This respirator helps protect against certain particles. Misuse may result in sickness or death.

IMPORTANT

Before use, wearer must read and understand these User Instructions. Keep these instructions for reference.

Use For

Particles such as those from grinding, sanding, sweeping, sawing, bagging, or processing minerals, coal, iron ore, flour, metal,

wood, pollen, and certain other substances. Liquid or non-oil based particles from sprays that do not also emit oil aerosols

or vapors. Follow all applicable local regulations. For additional information on 3M use recommendations for this class of

respirator please consult the 3M Respirator Selection Guide found on the 3M Personal Safety Division web site.

Do Not Use For

Do not use for gases and vapors, oil aerosols, asbestos, or sandblasting; particulate concentrations that exceed either 10 times

the occupational exposure limit or applicable government regulations, whichever is lower. In the U.S., do not use when the

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) substance specific standards, such as those for, arsenic, cadmium, lead

in the construction industry, or 4,4'-methylene dianiline (MDA), specify other types of respiratory protection. This respirator

does not supply oxygen.

Biological Particles

This respirator can help reduce inhalation exposures to certain airborne biological particles (e.g. mold, Bacillus anthracis,

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, etc.) but cannot eliminate the risk of contracting infection, illness or disease. OSHA and other

government agencies have not established safe exposure limits for these contaminants.

Use Instructions

1. Failure to follow all instructions and limitations on the use of this respirator and/or failure to wear this respirator during all

times of exposure can reduce respirator effectiveness and may result in sickness or death.

2. In the U.S., before occupational use of this respirator, a written respiratory protection program must be implemented

meeting all the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 such as training, fit testing, medical evaluation, and applicable

OSHA substance specific standards. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4 requirements must be met and/or requirements of the

applicable jurisdiction, as appropriate. Follow all applicable local regulations.

3. The particles 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 dizziness, irritation, or other distress occurs.

5. Store the respirator away from contaminated areas when not in use.

6. Inspect respirator before each use to ensure that it is in good operating condition. Examine all the respirator parts for

signs of damage including the two headbands, staples, exhalation valve and noseclip. The respirator should be disposed

of immediately upon observation of damaged or missing parts. Filtering facepieces are to be inspected prior to each use

to assure there are no holes in the breathing zone other than the punctures around staples and no damage has occurred.

Enlarged holes resulting from ripped or torn filter material around staple punctures are considered damage. Immediately

replace respirator if damaged. Staple perforations do not affect NIOSH approval.

7. Conduct a user seal check before use as specified in the Fitting Instructions section. If you cannot achieve a proper seal,

do not use the respirator.

8. Dispose of used product in accordance with applicable regulations.
