Last week my dust blower ceased working. It was very difficult blowing dust away as I cut.

I had hovered my saw and the dust connection regularly and  thought I was doing enough to keep it working OK , but today whilst re arranging and spring cleaning my whole workshop, I decided to turn my saw [gently] upside down to empty some sawdust that I could see.

I could not shake it out so I used a narrow piece of wood through the hoover connection and scooped out loads of dust that had been wedged under the lower arm.

Lo & behold, my dust blower is working again.

I will be doing some extra cleaning in future

Isn't it amazing what a little cleaning will do? Right now my shop is so bad it's dangerous!

I have saw dust, tiny little dead flies, shavings, bits of wood everywhere but it will have to wait until all of my orders are finished, then it will be a giant sized clean up.

I really like a clean shop but it doesn't seem to ever happen.

When I get a chance to clean up my shop. I'm sure I will find things that have been missing for quite a while. After the holiday season I'm looking to start.
