257982-9 — Bow Stop Ring E‑8 (external retaining ring). This genuine Makita replacement is the small metal stop/retaining ring that secures the bow/guard components on Makita circular and metal‑cutting saw assemblies.
Compact and simple to fit — manufactured to the original Makita specification (E‑8 designation) so it seats into the groove and holds the guard/bracket reliably. Examples of models that use this part include the DHS680 (165 mm cordless circular saw) and the DCS551 (150 mm cordless metal cutter).
If your tool’s blade guard or bracket has a loose or missing retaining ring, part 257982-9 is the genuine Makita part you need to restore proper stop and alignment quickly — a small, precise component among Makita parts that makes a big difference in safe operation.
