Genuine Makita 231593-8 — Torsion Spring 36. This is the small coiled torsion spring used in the blade‑guard/blade‑case assembly; it’s a metal return spring that lets the lower guard retract and return reliably.

Direct fit for Makita 255 mm mitre saws including LS1013, LS1030 and LS1040 / LH1040 / LH1040F — the part is listed on the official Makita parts diagrams for those models.

Sold individually as the replacement torsion spring for the blade case / guard assembly, it installs into the blade‑case subassembly exactly where Makita specifies; a simple swap restores normal guard action. This item appears on Makita spare parts lists for the LS1013 / LS1030 and LS1040 series.
