Included in the package are: a side handle (158237 - 4), an X - LOCK 5' x .045' x 7/8' 60 - grit metal & stainless thin cut - off wheel (E - 00474), an X - LOCK 5' x 1/4' x 7/8' 36 - grit metal & stainless grinding wheel (E - 00468), a 5' tool - less wheel guard (140T26 - 1), and a 5' cut - off wheel guard (140U29 - 1). This angle grinder features a BL™ brushless motor. By eliminating carbon brushes, it runs cooler and more efficiently, with a long lifespan and can reach 8,500 RPM. The X - LOCK quick - change system makes wheel changes a breeze without tools, using a simple snap - on mount and pull - release lever. The Active Feedback - sensing Technology (AFT®) shuts off the motor if the wheel's rotation suddenly stops. The Automatic Speed Change™ technology adjusts speed and torque for top - notch performance. Soft start ensures smooth start - ups and extends gear life. Anti - restart protection stops the motor from starting when the battery is inserted with the switch locked on. Quick guard rotation allows easy tool - less adjustment, boosting productivity. The slide switch with lock - on offers operator convenience. The rubberized soft grip enhances comfort during work. Spiral bevel gears enable smoother rotations and more efficient energy transfer. Wire mesh intake covers prevent debris from entering the motor. A 3 - stage L.E.D. gauge shows the battery charge level. It weighs just 6.6 lbs with the battery (battery not included), reducing operator fatigue. Its compact and ergonomic design is only 14 - 3/4' long. The electronically - controlled BL™ brushless motor uses energy efficiently to match the application's demands. It's also equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to protect against overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. Makita's 18V LXT® Brushless 4 - 1/2” / 5” X - LOCK Angle Grinder with AFT® is perfect for grinding and cutting various materials like tile, concrete, pipe, and conduit. It's part of Makita's extensive 18V LXT System, powered by fast - charging 18V lithium - ion slide - style batteries.
Using your Makita angle grinder is easy. First, make sure you've attached the right wheel for the job. You can quickly change the wheels thanks to the X - LOCK system. Just snap it on and use the pull - release lever. Then, insert the battery (not included). Press the slide switch to start. The soft - start feature will give you a smooth start. While using it, the Automatic Speed Change™ technology will adjust the speed and torque for the best performance. Remember, if the wheel suddenly stops, the AFT® technology will turn off the motor to keep you safe. When you're done, turn off the tool and remove the battery. As for maintenance, keep the wire mesh intake covers clean to prevent debris from getting into the motor. Check the wheels regularly for wear and tear and replace them when needed. Also, make sure to use Makita 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Batteries with the star symbol for Star Protection. This will protect the tool from overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating, and help extend the battery and tool life.
