345652-3 supersedes older part numbers: 345451-3

Makita 345652-3 — Genuine Makita Left Chain Slider (chain guide), part number 345652-3. This original Makita left-side chain slider is a direct replacement wear pad for compact Makita top-handle chainsaws (listed for models such as DCS230T / DCS232T) and restores factory fit and chain return alignment.

The slider reduces friction on the return side of the chain, protects the saw housing from abrasion, and helps maintain accurate chain tracking for smoother, more consistent cutting. Designed to fit using the saw’s existing fixings, it’s the exact replacement part to swap in when the original pad shows grooves, deformation, or excessive wear.
