Milwaukee Guard Spring
Model Number: 40-50-0045
The Milwaukee 40-50-0045 is a genuine OEM Guard Spring for use in compatible Milwaukee tools. The guard spring provides the return force for the tool's guard mechanism — the spring that pushes the guard back to its closed, protective position after it has been displaced during a cutting or grinding operation. Guard springs are critical safety components on angle grinders and circular saws where the lower guard must automatically return to cover the exposed blade or disc after each cut, protecting the operator from contact with the rotating accessory when the tool is lifted away from the workpiece. A fatigued, broken, or missing guard spring that prevents the guard from returning to its closed position is a safety hazard requiring immediate replacement to restore automatic guard closure and operator protection.
Using a genuine Milwaukee OEM guard spring ensures the correct spring rate and dimensions for the guard return mechanism it serves. Always verify your catalog number and serial number on Milwaukee's website before ordering to confirm this is the correct spring for your specific unit.
