Original Makita Handle Set — part no. 188197-6. Replacement handle assembly (left and right halves) for Makita plunge-style saws; it houses the trigger/switch area, wiring channels and mounting bosses so the tool’s grip, switch and safety functions are restored to factory configuration.

Key details: molded, impact-resistant handle halves (Makita dark/gray finish), includes both left & right sides of the handle set, matches the factory mounting points and switch cavity, and is listed under Makita part 188197-6 (also referenced without the hyphen on some parts lists). Ideal when the original handle is cracked, stripped at the screw bosses, or the switch housing is damaged.

Fits/compatible models (examples shown in exploded parts lists): Makita SP6000 (165 mm plunge circular saw) and Makita CA5000 (aluminum groove cutter). Exploded-view positions for this part are shown in vendor diagrams for those models.

Notes: sold as the complete handle set (not an internal switch or individual fasteners). Use this original Makita handle set to replace damaged handles and restore proper switch mounting and user control.
