27mm hose connection

[Ddsrod]

Recent Festool consumer.
My ct26 works very well.  It came with the smaller green hose.  The tool connection piece(black) worked loose from the green hose.  It appears to "thread " back on.  However, no matter how I twist,push, etc.. I cannot get it to engage more than one ridge down the hose and it pops off very easily?

There's a post somewhere about this with photos. Basically you have to push a screwdriver into the two tabs and the the hose end comes off to reveal the screw on part. Just screw it back on then push the hose end back on locating the tabs

Edit: joiner1970 and I posted at almost the same time. I believe the link above is what he was referring to.

Or you can just stick your finger inside the nozzle and grab the threaded ring inside. With the ring locked you can screw it back on fully.

Here's a good thread with pics for the tool end.

Don't forget that it is left-hand threaded.

Thank You all very much.  It went back together just like the picture.  Communist threads and all.
Somehow I don't think my Rigid tools have the same web help system... Absolutely amazing.
