Delta 40-694 air hose keeps falling off

I love my Delta 20" scroll saw but I am getting pretty annoyed that my air hose keeps falling off.  Any tricks out there to help keep it on?

I'm not familiar with your saw so I can't be of any help. Maybe a pic of the problem. Most of the saws have the flexible LocLine stuff. Is your's a rubber hose?

You can remove the cracked link easily. Use a heat gun or a hair drier  on the link to soften it. Once it is heated, you can remove it with pliers. Then replace the hose by heating it again, then push it back on to the fitting. You don’t want to heat to much, just enough to soften the link slightly.

A friend had the same problem with a DeWalt 788.  

As Dan said, heat the link to soften it so you can slip it on.  When it cools, it should tighten up.

But, if that does not work, then wrap a layer or so of tape around the nipple to build it up, then do the previous step.

I tried the heating it trick and went to far.  Couldn't get it back on at all. Asked my husband to remove the link I messed up for me.  He went out to the shop later and worked on it while I was doing something else and apparently fixed it.  He's not home a the moment to properly thank him.  Not sure what he did but I am happy now!
