346550-4 supersedes older part numbers: 345649-2
Genuine Makita lower blade guard (part number 346550-4) — a direct-fit replacement shield for Makita 190 mm slide/compound mitre saws. This molded protective guard restores the factory blade enclosure and dust routing, mounting to the original fixing points for correct alignment and smooth movement. It’s the same safety cover used on Makita LS0714-series saws (including LS0714, LS0714L and LS0714FL) and compatible slide/compound models such as BLS713, DLS713 and DLS714.
Use this part when the original guard is cracked, bent, or missing—it helps redirect chips toward the dust bag/extractor and re-establishes the intended hand protection around a 190 mm blade. The part is listed as the later-numbered replacement for the older 345649-2 guard (also referenced as 3465504).
Quick, straightforward swap: the guard is an original Makita component designed to fit existing mounting points and factory geometry, so installation requires only basic hand tools and a few minutes of work to return your saw to safe, serviceable condition.
