Makita JM23100097 — Pin Cap (genuine Makita replacement). This small injection-moulded pin cap is the original Makita part that secures the link/pin assembly on the lower blade‑guard/link area of the LS1018 series saws; it snaps over the pivot pin and keeps the link sleeve and link in proper alignment so the guard opens and closes reliably.
Fits (example models): Makita LS1018 / LS1018L and LS1815 mitre saws — listed as part No. JM23100097 in the parts breakdown for the LS1018.
Notes for replacement: install by pushing the cap onto the exposed pin until it seats (check the link sleeve and retaining ring for wear); as it is a genuine Makita part that drops into the original location and restores the intended fit and guarding action.
