Replacing the Fuse Blast HEPA filter

Replacing the Fuse Blast HEPA filter

During regular use, the Fuse Blast’s HEPA air filter collects powder and blasting media. Inspect the HEPA filter every 30 hours of blasting. Vacuum the filter when prompted by the touchscreen to prolong its lifetime and ensure proper operation.

If the HEPA filter remains visibly dirty after cleaning, it should be replaced.
