Makita 231792-2 Spare Part - TENTION SPRING 3 DCS550/DCS55
Makita 231792-2 — Tension Spring 3 (original Makita part). Precision-formed coil spring designed to restore correct tension in the cutting/guard mechanism of Makita metal-cutting saws; sold as a single, ready-to-install spring and intended as a direct replacement for the factory-installed spring.
Small, heat-treated steel construction for reliable spring force and long service life; replaces the worn or stretched coil that can cause sloppy guard action or inconsistent blade return. This original Makita tension spring is a small but critical power tool parts item when you need the exact spring the tool was designed for.
Example fit — documented in Makita parts listings and manuals: BCS550 / BCS550Z (BCS550 series metal cutting saws) and the DCS550-series variants such as DCS550Z, DCS550RMJ and DCS551ZJ. Use the tool’s parts diagram to confirm exact placement on your model.
Why buy this part: genuine Makita fit and function, low cost, simple swap-in replacement to get a BCS/DCS 550-series cutter back to factory tension and safe operation.
