Preparation and setup |

The Fuse Sift is a heavy object. A two person lift is required to prevent injury and
avoid damage to the machine.
Do not ship the machine with the power cartridge inserted in the drawer or mixer.
Powder left inside the machine can leak during transit, which may lead to additional
fees or void the warranty.
To prepare the machine:
1. Vacuum the Fuse Sift’s workspace and the hoppers.
2. Open the hoppers. Scoop all powder out of the hoppers using a clean, dry scoop. The powder
can be reintroduced into your powder stream by running it through the sifter on the Fuse Sift.
Powder that comes into contact with fibers or other contaminants (e.g., in a vacuum
cleaner) cannot be filtered and should be disposed of.
3. Remove the powder cartridge from the cartridge drawer or mixer.
4. Remove the parts bin and surface grate.
5. Remove and empty the powder catch.
6. Remove all tools from the tool shelf and uninstall the tool shelf.
7. Unplug the vacuum hose from the port on the inside-left wall of the machine.
8. Remove the build chamber port cover and powder catch from the build chamber enclosure.
9. Flip the breaker switch on the back of the unit to the
OFF
position to turn off the machine.
10. Unplug all cables (power, Ethernet, and USB) from the back of the unit.

Packaging
Thoroughly read and follow the instructions to properly package the machine. Skipping any
of the following steps may result in shipping damage and void the warranty.
To package the machine:
1. Loop both orange lifting straps under the machine from left-to-right, ensuring that the straps
are not crossed. With one person on each side, insert your forearms into each loop so they
do not go past your elbows.
2. With your back straight and knees slightly bent, brace against the unit with your palms as
you and a second person lift the machine up.
3. Lift the machine onto the pallet using the lifting straps, aligning the unit’s feet with the black
markings. Each person should push at an upward angle when lifting to keep the machine
steady and level.
The Fuse Sift is a heavy object. Use appropriate precautions and correct lifting form
when moving the machine.
4. Remove the lifting straps.
5. Wrap the hood with stretch wrap at least four times, sealing the hood closed.
6. Wrap the cartridge drawer with stretch wrap at least four times, securing the drawer in place.
7. Place the included protective bag over the machine.
