exhaust

My DeWalt 735 stopped ejecting the chips out the port and as a result they back up and come out front and back causing the machine to work harder. How do I fix this?

This could be a couple things. I would start by taking off the top cover (part 75). Then remove the three red screws sticking up that hold on the dust shroud (part 150). If this is blocked then clean it, that may solve your issue. If the problem persists after you reassemble or it is not blocked you issue is much greater. In that case it would be the fan (part 215) and that will take some time to replace.

I have also found that if you replace the shroud (part 150) that might fix the problem as well. The shroud gets worn with the amount of chips blown through it. It gets worn thin and then allows the leak.
