Makita 272279-5 — Lever Plate (genuine Makita). Replacement lever plate manufactured by Makita for the XSH01 series 185mm circular saws. This small, precision-formed metal plate is the replacement part that secures the lever assembly on the saw (the part you’d swap when a bent, worn or missing plate prevents the lever from engaging or the bevel/depth adjustments from locking properly). Fits Makita XSH01 family (examples: XSH01X / XSH01Z) and is listed as the original Makita lever plate for those models.

Why this part matters: it’s the inexpensive, exact-fit Makita component that restores correct lever operation and positive locking of the adjustment mechanism — an easy, low-cost repair that gets your saw back to factory function without modifying the tool.
