DW788 dust collector

[amazingkevin]

I noticed months now that the saw blower is making noise.i took it apart and took pictures of the inside of the bellows that had a rip in it towards the top. Changing it was next to impossible but I found a way to make it work.i took the broken one out and cut off the broken part and inserted it into the new one half way as that's all it would go.i could not do a factory installation as there is no Room for fingers  to plug it into the fitting as it's a very tight fit.i was amazed at all the dust inside it and the rubber was very soft like new too.

When doing the bearings on mine several years ago I accidentally knocked that bugger out of the hole... was quite the chore putting it back in there but I finally got it.. some how..LOL
