Description
Overview:
This Brake System Switch is a genuine Makita component designed for the LS1018L mitre saw.

As a direct replacement for the original switch, it maintains factory performance and safety, restoring reliable braking behaviour if the existing switch has worn or failed. Suitable for trades and DIY users alike, this OEM part helps keep your Makita LS1018L operating safely and efficiently during repetitive cutting tasks. Genuine status and OEM reference: JM23100178.
