140424-9 supersedes older part numbers: 6258053001
Genuine Makita protector — part no. 140424-9. A molded lower guard / debris shield designed to fit over the trimmer / brushcutter head: it deflects stones, grass and cuttings away from the operator and the cutting assembly to restore the factory guard configuration and safe operation.
Details you’ll care about for a repair: this is a one-piece protector assembly that mounts to the lower head / guard area and is secured with M5-class fasteners shown in the parts diagrams (the breakdowns list M5 hex nuts and M5 screws for the protector attachment). The part is a durable molded plastic / impact-resistant polymer in the factory (black) finish and replaces the original protector assembly on affected Makita brushcutters / trimmers. Installation is straightforward — remove the damaged protector, fit the new protector into the protector clamp, and secure with the M5 fasteners called out in the diagram.
