GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
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.
Respirator Selection and Training
Use of these respirators must be in accordance with applicable health and safety standards, respirator
selection tables contained in such publications as American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z88.2-
1992, Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Standard Z94.4 or pursuant to the recommendations of
an industrial hygienist. Before occupational use of these respirators, 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 standards Z94.4 requirements must be met and/or requirements of the applicable jurisdiction, as
appropriate.
If you have any doubts about the applicability of these respirators to your job situation, consult an

Intended Use
General Description
The 3M™ Airstream™ Headgear-Mounted Powered Air Purifying
Respirator (PAPR) System is a NIOSH-approved, loose fitting facepiece
system. The blower and filter are mounted inside the headgear shell
and powered by a rechargeable NiCd battery pack, which clips to the
user’s belt. The 3M™ Airstream™ Headgear-Mounted PAPR System
is designed to help provide respiratory protection against particulates
when using the AS-140-5 high efficiency filter or from hydrogen
fluoride when using the AS-176 cartridge.
Ambient air is drawn through the outer pre-filter and passes up
Fig. 1
through the top of the headgear, where it passes through the
filter/cartridge “sock”. The filtered air then flows down over the user’s
face and exits at the periphery of the faceseal (Fig. 1). A head seal, faceseal, and temple seals plus
positive air flow help prevent mixing of filtered air inside the visor with ambient air. When not in the
contaminated area, the visor assembly can be lifted and locked in the up position. This respirator
headpiece will accommodate limited facial hair without compromising the level of protection, provided
there is no facial hair between the elasticized edge of the faceseal and the face.
WARNING
Each person using this respirator must read and understand the information in these
User
Instructions
before use. Use of these respirators by untrained or unqualified persons, or use that
is not in accordance with these
User Instructions,
may adversely affect respirator performance
and result in sickness or death.
Listing of Warnings and Cautions within these
User Instructions.
WARNING
• 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.
• Each person using this respirator must read and understand the information in these User
Instructions
before use. Use of these respirators by untrained or unqualified persons, or use that
is not in accordance with these User Instructions, may adversely affect respirator performance
and
may result in sickness or death.
• Because the faceshields of the 3M™ Airstream™ Headgear-Mounted PAPR System can be
raised from the normal position, ANSI Z87.1-2003/CSA Z94.3 states that safety spectacles
or goggles must be worn in conjunction with this respirator.
Failure to do so may result in
serious eye injury.
• Do not use with parts or accessories other than those manufactured by 3M as described in
these
User Instructions
or on the NIOSH approval label for this respirator. Do not attempt to
repair or modify any component of the system except as described in these
User Instructions.
Failure to do so may adversely affect respirator performance and result in sickness or
death.
• Use of excessive force during the insertion of the filter/cartridge may damage the filter/cartridge
and/or the filter/cartridge holder. Do not attempt to repair or use damaged filter/cartridges. If
damage is suspected, remove and start over with new components as necessary.
Failure to do
so may adversely affect respirator performance and may result in sickness or death.
Use For
Respiratory protection against certain airborne particulate contaminants (including dusts, fumes, mists,
radionuclides and asbestos) or hydrogen fluoride.
Do Not Use For
-
-
-
-
Oxygen deficient atmospheres.
Gases and vapors other than hydrogen fluoride.
Contaminant concentrations that are unknown or immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH).
Contaminant concentrations that exceed 25 times the applicable exposure limit (the assigned
protection factor, APF, for this respirator system) or the APF mandated by specific government
standards, whichever is lower.
- Atmospheres containing paint spray or oil aerosols.

WARNING
• A user inspection and performance check must be performed prior to each use to verify that
the filter and blower assemblies have been correctly installed. If the respirator fails any of the
requirements of the user inspection and performance check, refer to the “Troubleshooting”
section in these
User Instructions.
Do not use the respirator until all necessary repairs have been
made and the respirator passes the performance check.
Failure to do so may adversely affect
respirator performance and result in sickness or death.
•
The faceseal must be changed if it becomes torn, worn excessively or the elastic is
stretched-out.
Exposure to solvents and/or ultraviolet light may accelerate the degradation
of the elastic.
This could result in exposure to airborne contaminants and could result in
sickness or death.
• Incorrect fitting of the visor will reduce face, eye and respiratory protection, and may
result in
sickness or death.
• Incorrect fitting of the headband/cradle assembly may reduce head protection provided by the
headgear, possibly rendering it totally ineffective,
resulting in serious injury or death.
• Impact to the headgear may weaken the shell and/or suspension system and reduce head
protection from subsequent impact, even if there is no visible damage. If the headgear shell has
been subject to impact or if other damage to the headgear is suspected, the headgear shell and
suspension system must be replaced.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
• Failure to conduct an inspection and complete all necessary repairs before use may adversely
affect respirator performance and
result in sickness or death.
• Failure to pass a user performance check and complete all necessary repairs before use may
adversely affect respirator performance and
result in sickness or death.
• Use of this respirator in atmospheres for which it was not NIOSH certified and designed
may
result in sickness or death.
Do not wear this respirator where:
– Atmospheres contain hazardous vapors or gases other than hydrogen fluoride
– Atmospheres are oxygen deficient.
– Contaminant concentrations are unknown.
– Contaminant concentrations are Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH).
– Contaminant concentrations that exceed 25 times the applicable exposure limit (the assigned
protection factor, APF, for this respirator system) or the APF mandated by specific government
standards, whichever is lower
.
WARNING
•
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 conditions.
Failure to do so may result in sickness or death.
• Never attempt to clean filters by knocking or blowing out accumulated material. This may result
in damage to the filter membrane allowing hazardous particles to enter the breathing zone,
resulting in sickness or death.
•
The 3M AS-176 hydrogen fluoride cartridge is not NIOSH approved for particulates. Misuse
may result in sickness or death.
ENGLISH
• Do not enter a contaminated area until the respirator system is properly donned. Do not remove
the respirator before leaving the contaminated area.
Doing so may result in sickness or death.
• Contaminants that are dangerous to your health include those that you may not be able to see or
smell. Leave the contaminated area immediately if any of the following conditions occur.
Failure
to do so may result in sickness or death.
– Any part of the system becomes damaged.
– Airflow into the respirator decreases or stops.
– Breathing becomes difficult.
– You feel dizzy or your vision is impaired.
– You taste or smell contaminants.
– Your face, eyes, nose or mouth become(s) irritated.
– You suspect that the concentration of contaminants may have reached levels at which this
respirator system may no longer provide adequate protection.
