TS55 - Where does this metal clip part go?

[JamesJohn]

I opened my TS55 to clean the insides due to build up of dust (as I haven't bought dust extractor yet).

The black metal clip fell out but I'm not sure where it goes. I presume somewhere near the splinter guard section.

Any ideas?

Try EKAT. I tried to look for you, but was only able to view USA version

I managed to figure it out when I noticed the window kept falling out of the splinter guard section  [smile]

Here it is for anyone who may come across this issue while searching Google in future.

I was going to say that the little recess to the left looks like a good spot!  ;^)

Glad you found it out.

JamesJohn,

If you have a regular shop vac, you can use it with the track saws pretty effectively.  I went for a cheap solution at the time I bought my TS55, and bought the Bosch VAC005 hose (5m long).  It has the same style of tool port connector as the Festool hoses, and it was pretty reasonably priced -- $35 from Amazon here is the USA.
