Genuine Makita cam (part no. 414546-4) — a small, molded plastic cam that mounts to the handle/lever assembly and restores the saw’s detent/movement action where it engages the handle mechanism. It’s the original Makita spare sold individually and designed to replace worn, cracked or broken cams so your LS-series mitre saws operate smoothly again.
Why this part matters: the cam controls the indexed movement of the handle/lock components and ensures clean, repeatable engagement of the saw’s control linkages; a damaged cam can cause sloppy detents or improper handle feedback. Installation is straightforward—the part attaches to the handle set and is typically swapped using basic hand tools (screwdriver).
Fits (examples of compatible Makita mitre saw models): LS1013, LS1013L, LS1040, LS1040F, LS1101, LS1214, LS1214F, LS1214L — and several other LS-series models. Confirm your model against the part diagram, but this is the factory replacement cam for those saw families.
Notes: supplied as the original Makita part number 414546-4; sold individually. If the original cam is visibly worn, chipped or fractured, replacing it restores solid mechanical engagement and improves cutting control.
