W WARNING

Intended Use

The 3M™ Rugged Comfort Half Facepiece Reusable Respirator, 6500 Series (6501, 6502, 6503) are

designed to help provide respiratory protection against certain airborne contaminants when used in

accordance with all use instructions and limitations and applicable safety and health regulations.

Properly selected, used, and maintained respirators help protect against certain contaminants

by reducing airborne concentrations below the Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL). It is

essential to follow all instructions and government regulations on the use of this product,

including wearing the complete respirator system during all times of exposure in order for the

product to help protect the wearer. Misuse of respirators may result in overexposure to

contaminants and lead to sickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor, refer to these

User Instructions or contact 3M Technical Service.

List of Warnings and Cautions within these User Instructions

Failure to follow these instructions may reduce respirator performance, expose you to

contaminants above the OEL, and may result in sickness or death.

• To help maintain a good seal between the face and the faceseal, the respirator faceseal

must be clear of obstructions at all times. Do not use with beards, facial hair or anything

that prevents direct contact between the face and the respirator faceseal.

• Do not clean respirator with solvents. Cleaning with solvents may degrade some respirator

components and reduce respirator effectiveness.

• Inspect all respirator components before each use to ensure proper operating condition.

• Do not alter, misuse, or abuse this respirator.

Failure to properly dispose of spent cartridges, fi lters, or respirators contaminated by hazardous materials

can result in personal exposures as well as environmental harm. Handling, transportation and disposal of

spent cartridges, fi lters, or respirators must comply with all applicable federal, state, provincial and local

laws and regulations.

3M™ Organic Vapor Service Life Indicator Cartridges (6001i and 60921i) and Mercury Vapor Cartridges

(6009S and 60929S) are equipped with a passive 3M™ End of Service Life Indicator (ESLI). The indicator

must be readily seen when wearing the respirator. If you cannot readily see the ESLI, use a mirror to observe

the ESLI, rely on a co-worker who can see the ESLI, or go to a clean area, remove the respirator and view the

ESLI. Do not rely solely on the organic vapor ESLI unless your employer has determined that it is appropriate

for your workplace. See 6001i or 60921i User Instructions for more information, including Special Instructions

regarding the ESLI. The mercury vapor cartridges must be discarded when the ESLI changes to the discard

color found on the mercury vapor cartridge label; or within 30 days of opening packaging; or when ESLI

becomes dirty or damaged; or when odors of vapors or gases become noticeable; or according to chlorine

service life, whichever occurs fi r s t. Mercury vapor has no odor.

Respirator Program Management

Occupational use of respirators must be in compliance with applicable health and safety standards. By

law U.S. employers must establish a written respiratory protection program meeting the requirements of

the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard 29 CFR 1910.134 and any applicable OSHA substance specifi c

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

jurisdiction, as appropriate. In Brazil, follow the Respiratory Protection Program of the Ministry of Labor.

Consult an industrial hygienist or call 3M Technical Service with questions concerning applicability of these

products to your job requirements.
