I have no idea most folks throw them away.

The knocking (knotting) sound could be caused by using a blade that is a bit to short or long. Often if the pinless blade has been broken just a bit then the blade is shorter then it should and it will knock. Also check that they guards are attached properly.

The air nozzle/hose for your saw is a series of peices, about 15 or so, each a cone on one end and a ball on the other. They snap together like Legos to make the nozzle flexible and long enough to reach the cutting table. The first peice is made to adapt to the air pump and the last tapers down to a small opening to help increase the air pressure and direct it towards the cutting area. If you're missing either the first or last peice, a new air nozzle is available from Dewalt and several after market parts sites, the part number is 286311-00.

should have a push button reset not a fuse

I had that same problem. My problem was a small piece saw dust got into the wire pug then it cut off the power. Let me tell you I look all over why it not running. Now I rap piece of cloth over the housing.

take a small screw driver and push down on the clip at the top of the fuse holder, it should open and you cans ip iy out. be sure and replace the fuse with a 3 AMP FAST BLOW ( not a slow blow) oldcodger2

There should be a reset switch on the motor it will look like a little button.
