Air blower

[Ian Scott1957]

Hi All. I am new to scrolling. I have just purchased a used Pro Tech 3301 Saw at a very good price. However the blower does not operate. My question is can it be replaced, I have tried gooling the model but it seems Pro Tech have bitten the dust. Can any one help.
Thank you
Ian

Some folks have found the easiest way is to use surgical tubing and an air pump designed for an aquarium to replace a broken blower.

It looks like Sears sells parts for Pro-Tech, but unfortunately the #330026-00 air diaphragm for their 3301 and 3303 saws is no longer available.

Maybe you could try and order one for the identical Makita instead from ereplacement parts or somewhere similar.

You might want to figure a way now, while it is broken to collect the dust instead of blowing it. Remember if you have sawdust on your glasses you have it in your lungs and that is not a good place for it.

Got an air pump from Walmart and some tubing. $7.00 works a treat.
