We are currently experiencing substantial delays with Hitachi/HiKOKI and Metabo spare parts due to the two brands merging warehouse. At this moment in time we are unable to provide confirmed delivery dates on out of stock parts, for any urgent requirements please contact us prior to ordering.
Original Hitachi Tail Cover — part HIT-996254 (SKU 996254). Replacement rear housing (tail cover) designed to restore the motor-end enclosure on Hitachi sliding compound mitre saws; listed specifically as Tail Cover HIT-996254 in Hitachi parts listings.
This molded rear cover protects the saw’s rear motor area (brushes, wiring and internal components) and re-establishes the factory fit of the handle/trigger housing and dust‑shielding where the original cover is cracked, broken or missing. The part is shown as compatible with Hitachi C8FB2 and C8FB sliding compound mitre saw models and is also offered for tools rebadged under Metabo HPT / Tanaka.
Simple to swap in — a direct-fit factory replacement part (HIT-996254) that matches the original mounting points and shape so no machining or modification is required. If your C8FB / C8FB2 (or the equivalent Metabo HPT/Tanaka version) has a damaged rear cover, this genuine Hitachi replacement restores protection and safe operation.
