Description
Overview:
The Safety Cover (lower blade guard) is a genuine Makita replacement part for the LS1040 and LS1040F mitre saws. It is moulded from clear, impact‐resistant plastic to provide a durable barrier between the user and the spinning blade while keeping the cut line visible. As an OEM component (Makita 416003-8), it is precision made to match the original guard's shape and mounting points, so it integrates with the saw's existing hinge and return mechanism. Replacing a cracked, missing, or yellowed guard restores safe operation and reliable chip deflection during crosscuts, mitres, and bevel cuts. Built for regular site and workshop use, this genuine part helps maintain the saw's performance and safety without altering the tool's balance or handling.
