2. Carefully lift facepiece off the face and remove the
respirator by lifting up and away from the face.
3. If appropriate, switch off the air supply unit or disconnect the
compressed air supply tube from the regulator, and unbuckle

caused it to become contaminated with a substance
requiring special decontamination procedures it should
be placed in a suitable container and sealed until it can be
decontaminated or discarded.
FIT CHECK
• Positive Pressure User Seal Check (for all approved
configurations) (all Filters except 3M™ 6035 /6038/ 2000
Series Filters).
Place palm of hand over exhalation valve cover and exhale
gently. Figure 3.
If the facepiece bulges slightly and no air leaks are detected
between the face and the facepiece, a proper seal has been
obtained.
If an air leak is detected, reposition the respirator on the face
and / or re-adjust the tension of the elastic strap to eliminate
the leakage.
Repeat the above fit check.
• Negative Pressure User Seal Check with 6035 / 6038
Filters Also 2000 Series filters.
Press your thumbs into the central indentation of the filters
(2000 Series), or press filter cover and filter body together
(6035/38), inhale gently and hold your breath for five to ten
seconds. If the facepiece collapses slightly a proper fit has
been achieved. Figure 4. If an air leak is detected, reposition
the respirator on the face and / or re-adjust the tension of the
elastic strap to eliminate the leakage. Repeat the above fit
check.
If you CANNOT achieve a proper fit DO NOT enter the
hazardous area.
