On the left inside of the cover there is a tube that goes down to almost board level when the head is all the way down. There is a deflector that is actually clipped on the body that fits on the tube. It is supposed to blow excess sawdust away from the board surface. The part you found is probably this part. Sometimes it falls off when you remove the cover. Show us a picture if you can

I've been wondering for weeks where this piece came from. Mine came out in the vacuum during cleaning and could not find a place where it looked like it fit. Never know what bit of info you'll find here.
