Contact Information

Read all instructions and warnings before using. Keep these User Instructions for reference. If you have

questions regarding these products contact 3M Technical service.

In United States:

Website: www.3m.com/workersafety

Technical Service: 1-800-243-4630

Technical Service: 1-800-267-4414

System Description

The 3M™ Versao™ M-Series Headgear is a family of respirators designed to help meet the changing

needs of users through a modular design and convertibility of major components. The M-100, M-200

and M-300 Series loose tting facepieces and the M-400 Series Helmets are designed to be used with

certain 3M™ Breathing Tubes and Powered Air Purifying (PAPR) or Supplied Air (SA) units to form a

respiratory system. In addition, all 3M™ M-Series Headgear meet the test requirements of certain eye

and face protection standards, and the M-300 and M-400 Series Headgear meet test requirements

of certain industrial head protection standards. See “Approvals” section of these User Instructions for

additional information.

The M-100 Series Respiratory Faceshields have a wide-view ip-up visor, fully adjustable ratchet

suspension, and a fabric faceseal. An integral air deector allows the user to position the airow for

wearing comfort. When used with the optional M-170 Faceshield Inserts, the M-100 Series Headgear

offers lightweight head coverage from dirt, debris, and overspray as well as minimal head protection from

contact with stationary objects (i.e. “bump” protection).

The M-200 Series Respiratory Faceshields have similar features to the M-100 Respiratory Faceshields,

including a liftable wide-view visor assembly and an integral air deector to direct the airow inside the

headgear. Unlike the M-100 Series Headgear, the M-200 Series Headgear comes with a solid headgear

shell to provide lightweight head coverage from dirt, debris, and overspray as well as minimal head

protection from contact with stationary objects (i.e. “bump” protection).

The M-300 Series Respiratory Hardhats have similar features to the M-100 and M-200 Respiratory

Faceshields, including a liftable wide-view visor assembly and an integral air deector to direct the

airow inside the headgear. Unlike the M-100 Series Headgear, the M-300 Series Headgear comes

with a solid headgear shell, and unlike the M-100 or M-200 it has been tested to certain industrial head

protection standards.

The M-400 Series Helmets are designed to offer the highest level of respiratory protection of the M-Series

range. This “jawed” product provides coverage for the neck and shoulders through a versatile two piece

inner and outer neck shroud design. The M-400 Series Headgear uses the same fully adjustable head

suspension and headgear shell as the M-300 Series Headgear.

Optional accessories and a variety of faceseal, shroud, and visor materials are available for the M-Series

Headgear, giving the user a choice of congurations for specic applications.

W WARNING

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

by reducing airborne concentrations in the wearer’s breathing zone below the Occupational Exposure

Limit (OEL). It is essential to follow all instructions and government regulations on the use of this

product, which includes 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 the product

User Instructions or contact 3M Technical Service.

ENGLISH

List of Warnings within these User Instructions

W WARNING

1. This product, when used as part of an approved respiratory protection system, 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.

2. These products meet the requirements of certain industrial eyewear standards and with some

models, certain industrial head protection standards. They do not provide complete head, eye, and

face protection from severe impact and penetration and are not a substitute for good safety practices

and engineering controls. Misuse may result in serious injury or death. For proper use, see

supervisor, refer to the product User Instructions or contact 3M Technical Service.

3. When exposed to eye and face hazards, wear additional eye and/or face protectors appropriate to

the hazard. ANSI Z87.1-2010, incorporated by reference in the OSHA Eye and Face Standard 29 CFR

1910.133, suggests safety spectacles or goggles should be worn in conjunction with loose tting

respirators if the visor can be raised from the normal position during use. Failure to do so may

result in serious injury or death.

4. Failure to follow these instructions may reduce the capability of the M-300 and M-400 Series

Headgear Shell to withstand impact and penetration and may result in serious injury or death:

a. Use only the cleaning processes and agents described in these User Instructions to clean the shell.

b. Do not store in direct sunlight.

c. Do not use beyond the maximum life of the product.

d. Do not use in high heat environments above the recommended maximum temperature.

5. The M-100 Series Headgear, when tted with the M-170 Faceshield Head Inserts, and the M-200

Series Headgear, do not meet the test requirements for hard hat protection under ANSI Z89.1-2009.

When head protection is required by OSHA or other safety regulations, hardhats or helmets, such as

the M-300 and M-400 Series, must be used instead of the M-100 or M-200 Series Headgear. Failure

to do so may result in serious injury or death.

6. Failure to follow these instructions may reduce the capability of the M-Series visors to withstand

impact and penetration and may result in serious injury or death:

a. Use only the cleaning processes and agents described in these User Instructions to clean the visor.

b. Ensure visor buttons are rmly secured and ush to the visor frame. Replace worn or

damaged parts.

7. Failure to follow these instructions may reduce respirator performance, overexpose you to

contaminants, and may result in sickness or death:

a. Always properly assemble and wear both the inner and outer shroud (M-400 Series).

b. Ensure visor frame rmly latches in the closed position. Replace worn or damaged parts

(M-400 Series).

c. Users must be clean-shaven where the respirator’s faceseal comes into contact with their face

(M-100, M-200 and M-300 Series).

d. The M-Series Headgear is one component of an approved respiratory protection system. Always

read and follow all User Instructions supplied with your 3M™ M-Series Headgear, PAPR Blower

Unit or Supplied Air Device in order to ensure correct system operation.

e. 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.

8. Use of the Head, Neck, and Shoulder Cover (M-976) does not increase the Assigned Protection

Factor (APF) of the M-100, M-200 and M-300 Series Headgear. The M-976 is designed to help keep

the wearer and headgear clean and does not increase the level of respiratory protection provided.

Improper use may overexpose you to contaminants, and may result in sickness or death.

9. Do not use the Head, Neck, and Shoulder Cover (M-976) or non-ame resistant faceseals and

shrouds around high heat, sparks or ames. Misuse may result in serious injury or death.

10. Do not use the Shaded Peel-Off Cover (M-929) for welding. The Shaded Peel-Off Cover (M-929)

will not protect the wearer’s eyes from the harmful level of visible light, ultra-violet radiation (UV),

and infrared radiation (IR)) resulting from gas and arc welding processes. Misuse may result in

permanent eye injury and vision loss. For welding use an ANSI Z87.1 complaint welding helmet

with an appropriate lter lens for the specic welding process.

11. Only use the Shaded Peel-Off Cover (M-929) on the 3M™ Versao™ M-Series Headgear. Do not use

on any other headgear including faceshields and eyewear. Misuse may result in permanent eye

injury and vision loss.

4

Limitations of Use

Donning & Fitting

W WARNING

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

contaminants, and may result in sickness or death:

a. Users must be clean-shaven where the respirator’s face seal comes into contact with their face

(M-100, M-200 and M-300 Series).

b. Always properly assemble and wear both the inner and outer shroud (M-400 Series).

c. Ensure visor frame rmly latches in the closed position. Replace worn or damaged parts if

required (M-400 Series).

d. The M-Series Headgear is one component of an approved respiratory protection system.

Always read and follow all User Instructions supplied with your M-Series Headgear, 3M™ PAPR

Blower Unit or Supplied Air Device in order to ensure correct system operation.

e. 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.

The following instructions cover donning and tting your 3M™ Headgear. Follow the User Instructions for

your 3M™ PAPR or Supplied Air Unit to properly assemble, don, and t your specic air source. Complete

all necessary performance checks as described in those User Instructions and verify that the airow is

adequate before donning your headgear and entering a contaminated environment.

NOTE: You may want to have a colleague help check for proper donning.

1. Connect an approved breathing tube to the headgear. See “Connecting & Disconnecting Breathing

Tubes” section for additional information.

2. With the visor (lens) in the up position, place the headgear on your head.

3. Turn the ratchet knob at the back of the suspension clockwise until the suspension feels snug but

comfortable. Turn counterclockwise to loosen, if needed. The suspension ts head sizes from 51-64 cm

(US hat sizes 6 3/8 to 8). An optional size reducing ratchet comfort pad (M-956) is available to provide

additional comfort. This comfort pad also can be used to improve t and stability for smaller head sizes.

See “Replacement Parts and Accessories” section of these User Instructions for additional information.

4. If the height on your head or the balance of the headgear is not comfortable, remove the headgear,

turn upside down, and adjust the suspension.

a. The suspension headband can be adjusted at four locations. There are two adjustment locations

in the rear of the headgear and two in the front. To change the position of the headband, pull the

height adjustment slot off the peg and re-position to another slot on the “ladder” (Fig. 2). Each

location can be adjusted independently for a custom t.

i. M-100 and M-200: With the headgear upside down, moving up the “ladder” will lower the

position of the headband. Moving down the “ladder” will raise it.

ii. M-300 and M-400: With the headgear upside down, moving up the “ladder” will raise the

position of the headband. Moving down the “ladder” will lower it.

Fig. 2

ENGLISH

b. M-100 and M-200 Series Headgear Only: The fabric straps of the M-150 Head Suspension can

be adjusted by sliding the blue strap lock located on the center strap (Fig. 3). Sliding the buckle

towards the rear of the headgear tightens the straps and will raise the height of the headgear

on the head. Sliding the buckle towards the front of the headgear loosens the straps and will

lower the height of the headgear on the head.

Fig. 3

5. Lower the visor into the down position.

a. M-100, M-200 and M-300: Pull down on the loop located on the faceseal. Ensure the visor is fully

down and covering your face. The headgear should sit level on your head with the faceseal gently

hugging your face. If using the M-985 Earmuff Assembly or M-976 Head, Neck, and Shoulder

Cover, ensure it does not interfere with the faceseal. The elasticized edge of the faceseal should

come into contact with the skin under the chin and around the jaw.

b. M-400: Ensure visor is rmly closed (completely latched) in the down position. You should hear an

audible “click” when it is fully closed. Tighten the adjustable cord on the inner shroud until there is

less than a two nger gap between your skin and the inner shroud. Leave the outer shroud draped

over your shoulders.

6. If needed, adjust the airow inside the headgear for wearing comfort. To adjust, raise the visor into

the up (open) position. Locate the blue air deector in the front of the headgear and rotate. Fig. 4

shows where the air deector is located. There are two positions. Adjust fully open for more airow

across the face or partially closed to re-direct a portion of the air towards the visor. After adjusting the

air deector, lower the visor back into the down position.

NOTE: Do not adjust the air deector while in a contaminated area.

Fig. 4

7. Complete any nal performance checks required according to the User Instructions for your PAPR or

Supplied Air Unit before entering a contaminated area.
