Product Description
The Makita XAG12PT1 kit is a game - changer in the world of power tools. This kit comes fully loaded with everything you need for efficient grinding and cut - off tasks. Inside the package, you'll find an 18V X2 LXT® (36V) brushless 7 - inch cut - off/angle grinder (XAG12Z1), two 18V LXT® lithium - ion 5.0Ah batteries (BL1850B), an 18V LXT® lithium - ion dual - port charger (DC18RD), a 7 - inch tool - less wheel guard (123542 - 8), a 7 - inch cut - off wheel guard (122914 - 4), a 7 - inch X 1/4 - inch X 7/8 - inch inox grinding wheel with 36 grit (A - 96045), a 7 - inch X 1/16 - inch X 7/8 - inch inox thin cut - off wheel with 60 grit (B - 12669), a side handle (143486 - 6), and a convenient tool bag (831284 - 7). The grinder features a BL™ brushless motor that gets rid of carbon brushes, running cooler and more efficiently for a longer lifespan. It delivers a powerful 7,800 RPM. With two 18V LXT® lithium - ion batteries, you get corded - like power without leaving the 18V LXT® battery platform. The electric brake stops the wheel in 4.5 seconds or less, boosting your productivity. Electronic Torque Control shuts off the motor if the wheel's rotation is suddenly halted. The Automatic Speed Change™ technology adjusts speed and torque for optimal performance. The vibration - absorbing back handle reduces hand fatigue, and the rear handle paddle switch has no lock - on feature. The BL™ brushless motor is electronically controlled to use battery energy efficiently, giving you up to 50% longer run - time per charge. Anti - restart protection prevents the motor from starting when the battery is inserted with the switch locked on. Weighing only 11.4 lbs with the battery, it reduces operator fatigue. The rubberized soft - grip handle offers more comfort on the job. The L.E.D. battery charge indicator alerts you when the batteries are running low. A large spindle lock button makes it easy to change wheels even when wearing gloves. The protective roll cage safeguards the batteries, and wire mesh intake covers keep debris out of the motor. The tool - less wheel guard allows for quick and easy adjustments, and the efficient internal cooling ensures top - notch performance. Makita, a leader in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines these advancements in this 7 - inch paddle - switch angle grinder with electric brake. It gives you 36V power and performance with the freedom from cords, and you can use the same 18V batteries across the Makita 18V LXT® cordless tool system.
Using your Makita XAG12PT1 grinder is a breeze. First, make sure your 18V LXT® lithium - ion batteries are fully charged using the dual - port charger. Insert the battery into the grinder. Before starting, check that all the guards are properly attached and adjusted. To start the grinder, simply press the rear handle paddle switch. When you're done with your task, release the switch, and the electric brake will stop the wheel within 4.5 seconds. When using the grinder, always wear safety goggles, gloves, and appropriate protective clothing. Avoid using the tool in wet or damp conditions. Don't force the grinder during operation; let the tool do the work. Keep your hands away from the spinning wheel at all times. For maintenance, regularly clean the wire mesh intake covers to prevent debris from entering the motor. Check the condition of the grinding and cut - off wheels. Replace them if they are worn out or damaged. Store the grinder in a dry place, preferably in the provided tool bag, to protect it from dust and impacts. If you need to change the wheel, use the large spindle lock button to lock the spindle and then make the necessary adjustments with the tool - less wheel guard.
