Genuine Makita replacement safety cover, part no. 319072-7 — a direct-fit blade guard for compatible Makita 36 V (18 V ×2) and related circular saw models. This molded safety cover fastens to the blade case assembly and pivots clear during a cut, then returns to cover the blade for operator protection. It’s supplied as the single replacement guard (matches the original mounting points shown in the Makita parts breakdown).

Fits (examples): DHS711PF2 / DHS711Z (18 V ×2, 7-1/4" circular saw) and XSH01. it is also referenced for DHS710-series saws in Makita parts documentation. Use this part when the factory blade cover is cracked, bent or no longer retracts cleanly.

Notes for the installer: this cover mounts to the blade case / blade housing (see the blade-case assembly in the parts breakdown) and uses the original guard pivot/fastening locations — consult the parts diagram for screw positions and torque if you’re replacing the guard yourself. The listing identifies the item specifically as “Safety Cover” (Makita part 319072-7).
