Makita 272253-3 Spare Part - LEVER 56 5008MB/HS0600
Original Makita LEVER 56 — part no. 272253-3 — replacement bevel‑angle/locking lever for Makita circular saws, sold as a single genuine Makita part.
What it is: a direct-fit lever (identified in Makita parts lists as "LEVER 56") that engages the bevel/angle adjustment assembly — it works together with the hex nut M8, flat washer Ø8 and the bow stop ring E‑12, and mounts on the shoulder pin (≈6 mm diameter) used in the base/bevel assembly. This is the same lever called out in Makita repair and assembly instructions for adjusting and locking the bevel angle.
Fits (examples): used on Makita 5007MG / 5007MGA (7-1/4" magnesium circular saw variants) and listed for several related Makita circular saws such as 5008MB / 5008MG and model HS0600 in official parts breakdowns and parts listings. Use these model numbers to confirm fit with your saw.
Quick install notes: sold as the single lever (part no. 272253-3), it replaces the worn or broken bevel lock lever and installs into the existing shoulder pin / nut stack without modification. Check your parts diagram for the lever location and the associated M8 nut, E‑12 bow stop ring and shoulder pin to ensure proper reassembly.
