Small part, large consequence

It exists because filter media burns and because grinding throws sparks upward into exactly the intake a belt-mounted blower uses.

Inspect with the filter

Making the arrestor part of the pre-filter routine is the only reliable way to remember it — nothing in the helmet will tell you it has failed.
