Original Makita F/R change lever — part number 452399-3. A small molded change lever that actuates the forward/reverse function on the drill/driver switch assembly; it’s the replacement lever that clips into the switch housing and engages the reverse mechanism so the trigger changes motor direction reliably.
Made to Makita’s specification, this lever is a direct-fit replacement for the tool’s switch unit and is supplied as the single lever piece (no switch or springs included). It’s the same style part shown on Makita parts breakdowns and serves the forward/reverse selector function on the trigger/switch assembly.
Fits (examples): DF347D / DF457D (cordless driver/drills), DF488D / DTD156 (impact/driver series), DTW190 (impact wrench) and HP347D / HP457D / MT070 / MT080 / MT081E models listed in Makita parts breakdowns and parts lists — use these model examples to confirm fit with your tool’s parts diagram.
Quick notes for installation: this lever installs into the existing switch housing and works with the switch unit and small return spring shown in the parts diagram — typically held in place by the switch cover/housing, so you’ll need basic disassembly (remove housing screws, replace lever, reassemble). Because it’s the original Makita part, it restores the intended feel and position of the F/R selector.
(Part sold as the single Makita 452399-3 F/R change lever — check your tool’s parts diagram to confirm the position number before ordering.)
