Makita 961155-5 Spare Part - RETAINING RING S-38 MT582
Original Makita retaining ring — Part No. 961155-5 (S‑38). This is the genuine Makita S‑38 snap/retaining ring used to hold flange and spindle components in place on many Makita circular saws and related cutting tools. The ring is the S‑38 size (nominal 38 mm groove/shaft diameter) and installs into the machined groove on the arbor; it’s the small spring steel circlip that prevents the blade flange from sliding off during operation.
Example models this part is listed for include Makita 5604R, 5621RD, 5801B, SR1600 and SR1800 — it’s also shown in parts breakdowns for other Makita circular saws such as 4200/4200H, 5005BA, DHS710, HS7601/HS7611 and several MT/MT5xx series saws, so it’s a good fit to check when repairing the arbor/flange on those tools.
Why this part matters: it’s a small, precision-formed circlip that secures rotating parts against axial movement — an inexpensive, genuine Makita replacement that restores proper blade retention and safe operation. If you’re repairing a circular saw, this genuine Makita retaining ring is a common power tool parts item to replace when reassembling the blade/flange assembly.
Note: verify the S‑38 designation in your saw’s parts diagram or exploded view to confirm fit before installation.
