Product Description
The Makita XGC01Z is a remarkable cordless caulk and adhesive gun. Its Makita-built motor provides an impressive 1,100 lbs of dispensing force, enabling it to handle even the thickest adhesives and sealants with ease. The 5-speed dial allows you to precisely adjust the flow rate from 0 to 66 inches per minute, and the variable speed trigger lets you match the speed to your specific application. There's a useful drip-reduction feature that automatically releases pressure when you let go of the trigger, preventing accidental dispensing. An overload indicator light warns you when the tool is close to overloading, helping to avoid sealant cartridge breakage. With a compact and ergonomic design that's only 15-7/8 inches long and weighing just 5.1 lbs with the battery (battery not included), it significantly reduces operator fatigue. Specifications include a 10-ounce capacity for caulk or sealants, a 1,100-lbs dispense force, variable speed from 0 - 66 IPM, 5 speed settings, an 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery requirement, an overall length of 15-7/8 inches, a net weight of 5.1 lbs, and a shipping weight of 14.8 lbs.
Using the Makita XGC01Z is quite straightforward. First, insert the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery (not included). Then, load your 10-ounce caulk or sealant cartridge into the gun. You can adjust the speed using the 5-speed dial according to your needs, with a range from 0 to 66 inches per minute. Squeeze the variable speed trigger to start dispensing. When you're done, release the trigger, and the drip-reduction feature will prevent any unwanted dripping. Remember to keep an eye on the overload indicator light. If it comes on, it means the tool is close to overloading, so slow down to avoid breaking the sealant cartridge. For maintenance, after each use, clean the gun to remove any leftover caulk or adhesive. Store it in a dry place. With proper use and care, this tool will serve you well for a long time.
