Original Makita Cord Guard — part no. 682502-4 (listed as "Cord Guard 8‑85"). This flexible rubber/plastic cord exit guard fits into the tool housing at the power‑cord entry and acts as the strain relief to prevent the cable from kinking or rubbing against the housing during use.
Features: snaps into the cord‑exit opening in the rear/side housing, restores the factory cable routing and strain relief function, and replaces cracked or missing guards so the cord stays secure and the insulation isn’t stressed. It’s shown in Makita parts breakdowns under the description "CORD GUARD 8‑85."
Common example models where Makita lists this part include BO5010 / BO5021 / BO5030 / , BO5041, 3707FC and HP2010N — check your tool’s parts diagram to confirm placement and fit.
If your tool’s cord guard is worn, broken or missing, replacing it with the original Makita 682502-4 restores the intended strain relief and cable routing at the housing exit.
