This Makita angle grinder offers corded performance without the cord. It comes with a range of useful accessories, including a grinder, an INOX grinding wheel, an ultra-thin cut-off wheel, a lock nut wrench, and two types of wheel guards. The standout feature is the Automatic Speed Change™ technology, which fine-tunes speed and torque during operation for top-notch performance. The BL™ Brushless Motor runs cooler and more efficiently, thanks to the elimination of carbon brushes, and it optimizes battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge. With a compact and ergonomic design, weighing just 5.6 lbs with the battery (not included), it reduces operator fatigue. The rubberized soft grip enhances comfort, and the slide switch with lock-on adds convenience. The 3-stage L.E.D. gauge shows the battery charge level, and the soft start ensures smooth startups and longer gear life. It also has spiral bevel gears for smoother rotations and efficient energy transfer. The anti-restart protection prevents motor startup when the battery is inserted with the switch locked on. The efficient internal cooling and wire mesh intake covers keep the motor in good condition. Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™, it guards against overloading, over-discharging, and over-heating. The Rapid Optimum Charger (battery and charger sold separately) optimizes battery life and has a built-in fan for faster charging. It's compatible with Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries with a Star symbol. The Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) makes it suitable for harsh conditions. It comes with a 3-year limited warranty. Specifications include a 5' wheel diameter, 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion battery, 8,500 RPM no-load speed, and more. Ideal for grinding, cutting, and sanding various materials like tile, concrete, pipe, and conduit, it's part of Makita's large 18V Lithium-Ion cordless tool system.
Using this Makita angle grinder is straightforward. First, make sure you have a compatible 18V Lithium-Ion battery with a Star symbol (battery sold separately). Insert the battery into the grinder. To start, use the body grip/slide switch. You can lock it on for continuous operation. When working, the grinder will automatically adjust speed and torque thanks to the Automatic Speed Change™ technology. For safety, always wear appropriate protective gear like goggles and gloves. Don't operate the grinder in wet or extremely dusty conditions, although it has XPT™ for some dust and water resistance. After use, let the grinder cool down. You can clean the wire mesh intake covers to prevent debris from entering the motor. If the battery runs low, use the Rapid Optimum Charger (charger sold separately) to recharge it. The charger will communicate with the battery's built - in chip to optimize battery life. Keep the grinder in a dry and clean place when not in use. Remember, it has a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any issues, contact Makita support.
