Milwaukee Lever Lower Guard
Model Number: 31-52-0025
The Milwaukee 31-52-0025 is a genuine OEM Lower Guard Lever for Milwaukee circular saws. This is the hard plastic lever that secures directly to the lower blade guard and gives the operator a thumb lever to push the retractable lower guard into the raised position while operating the saw. On a circular saw, the spring-loaded lower guard automatically covers the blade for safety and retracts as the saw enters the cut, and this lever is what lets the operator manually retract, or raise, the guard when starting a plunge cut, a bevel cut, or any cut where the guard needs to be lifted clear before the blade contacts the work. Because the lever is thumbed on cut after cut and is a molded plastic part exposed on the guard, it is a common wear and breakage point: when the lever is cracked, broken, or missing, retracting the guard becomes difficult and awkward, which is both an inconvenience and a safety concern. Replacing it with the correct genuine Milwaukee OEM lever restores easy, reliable guard operation.
Because Milwaukee Tool specifies replacement parts by both catalog number and serial number, always verify your tool's serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before placing your order, since running production changes can alter part compatibility within the same catalog number. This lower guard lever is a common part used across a range of Milwaukee circular saws, including the worm drive saw family such as the 6390-20 and 6470 saws, where it is documented as the Guard Lever on the service parts list, and it is referenced on many machines, so confirm your tool's catalog and serial number against the parts diagram before ordering. The lever is sold individually. The lower guard, guard spring, and the screws or hardware that secure the lever are separate parts that vary by tool, so refer to your tool's parts diagram for the correct companion part numbers, and inspect the guard and guard spring when replacing the lever since these parts work together.
