Fixing a Separated Dust Hose Connector

[glennwarner]

Well my hose came apart and I muscled it back together, only to have it fall off again.  I just knew that festool wouldn't have designed a hose to break, but couldn't for the life of me figure how to thread that baby back on.  Turning as a last resort to the fog (almost went to the duct tape) , I read about the tabs, which I still couldn't find initially.  So ingenious, exactly what I would expect from Festool.  The pictures in this thread make it perfectly clear.  [thanks]

Great - a post that is still useful after 6+ years.  If you're still watching, thanks for the info.  Mine just popped off this morning.

Mine just came off Wednesday and after several frustrating try’s I saw the tabs and got it back to work. I figured someone had already posted fix since I havnt been on site much
