458437-9 supersedes older part numbers: 457498-6

Makita part 457498-6 — Safety Cover A (original Makita replacement). Precisely molded to the factory shape, this safety cover restores the saw’s guard/dust‑nozzle housing and mounts in the original screw locations (uses the 4x18 tapping screws shown in the parts diagram), so it snaps/fastens into place without modification. Designed for the Makita 10" slide compound mitre saw family, it fits models such as LS1019, LS1019L and the DLS110 series (check your parts diagram number to confirm fit).

Why you’d pick this part: it’s the exact Makita cover specified in the official parts list, so it maintains correct guard alignment and dust‑port geometry—important for safe blade clearance and proper dust collection. If your existing cover is cracked, warped, or missing mounting tabs, replacing it with part 457498-6 will get the guard assembly back to factory form.

What’s included / notes: this listing is for the Safety Cover A only (check the diagram for associated fasteners and nearby items such as the dust nozzle assembly). If your saw’s service diagram shows a different cover reference (for example 458437‑9 appears as a related item), verify the reference number for your exact model before ordering.
