Makita JM23100115 — Retaining Ring (size 5). A genuine Makita snap ring designed to hold the link pin/guard components in place on Makita slide compound mitre saws; it's the small external circlip listed as “RETAINING RING 5” on Makita parts diagrams and intended for a 5 mm shaft. This is a direct-fit, original Makita spare part that’s ideal when a lost or damaged clip leaves the guard or pivot loose; it’s a standard spring-type retaining ring used to secure the link pin in the guard assembly. Makita spare parts like this are simple to fit and are a common, durable replacement in routine saw repairs.
Example models shown in Makita parts diagrams that use JM23100115 include: LS1018L, LS1017L and LS0815F / LS0815FL slide compound mitre saws, so it will match those guard/link-pin locations on those machines. If you’re replacing a lost clip on a mitre saw this is the correct original Makita part to restore proper guard retention — a small but critical piece among your power tool parts.
