It's equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to safeguard against overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. The Rapid Optimum Charger (battery and charger sold separately) optimizes battery life by controlling current, voltage, and temperature and has a built - in fan for faster charging.

Using the Makita 18V LXT Li - Ion Brushless Angle Grinder is easy. First, make sure you have a compatible Makita 18V Lithium - Ion battery with a Star symbol (battery sold separately). Insert the battery into the grinder. Then, you can use the slide switch with lock - on for continuous operation. For safety, always wear appropriate protective gear like goggles and gloves.
When using the grinder, start it slowly. The soft start feature will help with a smooth start and protect the gears. You can use it for various tasks such as grinding, cutting, and sanding different materials like tile, concrete, pipe, and conduit.
Keep in mind that the grinder has anti - restart protection. So, even if you insert the battery with the switch locked on, it won't start automatically. The 3 - stage L.E.D. gauge will show you the battery charge level, so you know when it's time to recharge.
For maintenance, make sure to clean the wire mesh intake covers regularly to prevent debris from getting into the motor. Also, since it has Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), it can handle some dust and water, but try to avoid extreme conditions if possible. If you need to charge the battery, use the Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately). It will communicate with the battery's built - in chip to optimize the charging process and extend battery life.
