Description
Overview:
This Tension Spring is a Genuine Makita part designed for the Makita DHS68 circular saw. Made from durable spring steel, it maintains the correct mechanical tension in the saw's linkage so components return smoothly to their rest position and operate as intended. A worn or weakened spring can lead to sluggish movement and inconsistent cutting performance; replacing it restores reliable operation and helps protect other parts from unnecessary strain. As a direct-fit component, it is engineered to the correct length, coil rate, and end form for the DHS68, ensuring accurate fit and function without modification. Suitable for trade and DIY maintenance, this genuine part supports precise, safe cutting and extends the working life of your circular saw.
