Makita 957213030 Spare Part - *BRAKING MECHANISM
957213030
Genuine Makita braking mechanism — part number 957213030 — a complete chain‑brake assembly designed to sit behind the front hand guard and stop the saw chain when the brake is engaged. It’s the original Makita brake/link‑plate assembly used on a range of petrol chainsaws (examples: DCS6400/DCS6401, DCS7300/DCS7301, DCS7900/DCS7901..
This unit installs using the same M5 fasteners shown in the Makita parts diagram (M5x20 socket head bolts are used on the hand‑guard/brake mounting), so it fits into the existing brake mounting points without modification. It includes the braking mechanism housing and associated link/washers called out in the parts breakdown.
Note: some parts listings show 957‑213‑031 as a replacement/superseding item in parts catalogs — if you need the newest replacement reference check your model’s parts diagram before ordering. For a safe repair, this original Makita braking mechanism is the direct, drop‑in component you need to restore proper chain‑stop function.
(If your saw model is not one of the examples above, consult the Makita parts diagram for your exact model to confirm fit.)
