lawson56 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I have a question about the blower hose on the Delta 40-694 saw i bought recently.Did any of you had to attach the blower hose?.Mine was not attached.I was unable to attach it.So I did a McGuyver and used some black tape,it is working great.I contacted Delta for a replacement.Hoping I would get the whole thing,the hose and the attachment on the bottom.Gave them the parts #.All I got was the hose.So Back to my question,did anyone else have this problem?

JimErn Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 if you are talking about the segmented tube that blows the saw dust, it pops on but you do need either a special pair of pliers, or heat it up, push it on. I used a heat gun but some say boiling water lawson56 and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 If it is like Loc-line, they have pliers, but to be honest they are very cheap,,,,, made wise, not to buy. I bought a pair for 3/4" hose because I knew I would be taking the hose on and off as I experimented with my dust collection. They work, they are some kind of plastic should cost about only $3 in my opinion. https://www.loc-line.com/products/14-loc-line-system/14-accessoriestools/ heat works well, just do not over heat or it will ruin the joint. I use a heat gun like Jim. lawson56 and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) A heat gun or hairdryer will work. Just heat the end of the hose. Not too much! Then pop it on. Eventually the end segment will crack. Heat the second segment and remove the first, then remount as above.

JustLarry Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I have used the hair dryer a couple of times. Also found out a pair of leather gloves makes it easier. Larry OCtoolguy and lawson56 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 My DeWalt came with it attached but as Dan said.. eventually it'll crack.. I used needle nose pliers to take the cracked one off then run a sink of HOT water and soaked it in there a while to heat it up.. once it was good and hot.. I added a couple drops of dish soap to the inside and on the metal part on the saw.. and while it can be a tricky struggle.. I've alwats been able to get them on this way.. Now that I have a heat gun... I might try that next time.. OCtoolguy and lawson56 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodmaster1 Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Mine came attached. Sounds like I was lucky and didn't have to struggle like you. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 It's the same drill on the Dewalt. I guess I must have stronger fingers than most. I have always been able to R & R mine without too much trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ike Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Heat gun is your best bet, You could use a hair dryer but it takes a little longer if yu have a good hair dryer. IKE OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyL Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 A heat gun works, but a cup of boiling water is safer. You want it more flexible, not melted. Amazon carries short lengths of it, different end pieces, and the pliers to assemble it, but nothing is available for dis-assembly. They recommend bending to the extreme and it will pop apart (but usually never where I plan). Loc-Line is the brand name Charley OCtoolguy and lawson56 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 You can us heat and a pair of pliers to pull it apart also, just have to be careful not to over do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
