Original Makita 252270-9 — Thumb Nut (M6). This genuine Makita thumb nut is a hand‑turnable fastening nut with an M6 metric thread, intended for securing adjustment plates, guards or other removable fittings on Makita circular saws and related tools.
The part is sold as a single thumb nut and is sized to engage M6 studs or bolts (metric). It’s designed for easy manual tightening and loosening during blade‑guard or base adjustments without tools.
Example Makita models that use this part include XSH08 (and related circular‑saw assemblies) and a range of Makita cordless circular saw models such as DHS782 / DHS783 and larger models listed in Makita parts diagrams (for example HS009GT series and some DHS900 / HS004G variants). Use these model examples to confirm fit against your tool’s parts diagram or exploded view before installing.
If you need a direct replacement to restore a loose guard, plate or adjustment knob, this original Makita 252270-9 thumb nut matches the factory specification for the listed models and installs in seconds — simply thread onto the M6 stud and hand‑tighten.
