Makita 162236-0 Spare Part - SHIFT BUTTON JR3050T/JR3060T
Makita 162236-0 — Shift / selector button (original Makita)
Description: A small, direct-fit shift/selector button moulded in durable black polymer with a ridged fingertip surface for positive control. It’s the replacement control button that engages the saw’s selector mechanism and restores crisp, slip‑free operation when the original button is cracked, worn or missing. The part is sold as the genuine Makita 162236-0 replacement and snaps into the existing selector recess so it can be swapped in quickly during a basic teardown of the handle assembly.
Fits (examples): Compatible with a number of Makita reciprocating/sabre saws — commonly listed for BJR181 / BJR182 and the JR-series saws JR3050, JR3050T, JR3060T and JR3070CT; it also appears on parts diagrams for models such as DJR181 and some M-series reciprocating saws. Check your saw’s parts diagram for item 162236-0 to confirm fit before ordering.
Why this part helps: If your saw’s shift/selector won’t engage cleanly or the plastic button is broken, replacing this small component restores the original feel and safe, repeatable selection of modes without needing to replace larger assemblies or the tool itself. Installation is straightforward — remove the handle/cover to access the selector, swap the button, and reassemble.
