Original DeWalt replacement lever (part no. 946869-02) — direct-fit guard / handle release lever for select DeWalt mitre/chop saws. Designed to restore reliable guard operation and blade-access control, this molded black lever replaces the worn or broken handle used to retract or release the lower blade guard. It’s a single-piece, injection-molded plastic lever with the factory mounting points and geometry needed to match the factory action and fit.

Fits DeWalt mitre saw models including : DW701 Type 1 and 2 , DW707 Type 1 and 2 , DW707E Type 1 and PS274 / PS274E Type 2

The part is listed specifically for the guard / handle switch area on those machines, so it replaces the lever that operates the blade guard retraction/release.

What you’ll get: one original DeWalt lever (part 946869-02) — ready to drop in where the old lever mounts. Installation is straightforward: remove the fastener or pin holding the damaged lever, fit the replacement onto the same pivot, and secure with the original hardware so the guard moves freely and returns correctly. The lever is finished in black to match the tool’s guard components.
