Use limitations:

Before use, check the expiration date. For other use limitations please refer to the User Information supplied with the products. These respirators do not supply oxygen. Do not use in oxygen deficient areas.* Do not use for respiratory protection against atmospheric contaminants that have poor warning properties or are unknown or immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) or against contaminants, which generate high heats of reaction with chemical filters. (The 3M™ S-200+ Supplied- Air Respirator System can be used against contaminants with poor warning properties, subject to other use limitations). Do not misuse, alter, modify or repair this product. Do not use with beards or other facial hair that prevent direct contact between the face and the edge of the respirator. Do not use with unknown concentrations of contaminants. Leave the work area immediately and check the integrity of the respirator and replace face mask if:

• Damage has occurred or is apparent.
• Breathing becomes difficult or increased breathing resistance occurs.
• Dizziness or other distress occurs.
• You taste or smell the contaminant or an irritation occurs.

Cleaning and storage

Cleaning is recommended when necessary

1) Disassemble by removing the filters/breathing tube (if applicable), nose cup, centre adapter, lens, head straps and face seal.

2) Clean and sanitise the mask (excluding filters) using 3M™ Face Seal Cleaner 105 or immersing in warm cleaning solution of water and household soap, and scrubbing with a soft brush until clean. Parts may also be cleaned in a domestic washer. If necessary, wash the outside of the breathinghose carefully using warm water solution containing a mild detergent. Ensure the breathing hose connections are free from all dirt or debris thatcould prevent an effective seal with the blower.

3) Disinfect respirator by soaking in a solution of quaternary ammonium disinfectant or sodium hypochlorite or other disinfectant.

4) Rinse in fresh, warm water and air-dry non contaminated atmospheres. Water temperature should not exceed 50°C. Do not use cleaning agents that contain lanolin or other oils. Do not autoclave. The lens is polycarbonate with an abrasion resistant coating but abrasive cleaners and some solvents may damage it. Avoid using acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, toluene, methylene chloride and other strong solvents.
