Product Description
Makita, a leader in brushless motor tech and battery innovation, presents the 18V X2 LXT (36V) Lithium-Ion Brushless 9” Paddle Switch Cut-Off/Angle Grinder with Electric Brake. Powered by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries, it offers 36V power and performance. The electronically - controlled BL Brushless motor adjusts torque and RPM according to the task. With the Makita 18V X2 system, you can work cord - free even on tough grinding and cut - off jobs. And you can use the same fast - charging 18V batteries across the Makita 18V LXT cordless tool range. The XAG13 has efficiency features for top - notch performance. The electric brake stops the wheel in 4.5 seconds or less, boosting productivity. The Electronic Torque Control shuts off the motor if the wheel slows or stops suddenly. The Automatic Speed Change technology adjusts speed and torque during operation. For comfort, the vibration - absorbing back handle is isolated from the motor housing, reducing vibration. The soft start feature gives smoother start - ups and longer gear life. It has a no - lock - on rear paddle trigger switch, and anti - restart protection prevents motor start - up when the battery is inserted with the switch locked. Included in the package are the 18V X2 LXT® (36V) Brushless 9” Cut - Off/Angle Grinder (XAG13Z1), two 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion 5.0Ah Batteries (BL1850B), an 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion Dual Port Charger (DC18RD), various wheel guards, grinding and cut - off wheels, a side handle, and a tool bag. The BL Brushless Motor runs cooler and more efficiently, delivering 6,000 RPM. It weighs only 13.01 lbs. with the battery, reducing operator fatigue. The rubberized soft grip handle makes the job more comfortable. The L.E.D. battery charge indicator shows when the batteries are low. The large spindle lock button makes wheel changes easy even when wearing gloves. The protective roll cage safeguards the batteries, and the wire mesh intake covers keep debris out. The tool - less wheel guard allows for quick adjustments.
Using your Makita XAG13PT1 grinder is straightforward. First, insert the 18V LXT Lithium - Ion batteries into the charger until fully charged, then put them into the grinder. When you're ready to start, hold the grinder firmly with the rubberized soft grip handle and the vibration - absorbing back handle. Press the rear paddle trigger switch to start the motor. The soft start feature will give you a smooth start. For grinding or cutting, place the wheel on the material gently and let the grinder do its work. The Automatic Speed Change technology will adjust the speed and torque for you. Remember, the electric brake will stop the wheel in 4.5 seconds or less when you release the switch, so be careful around the wheel right after use. There's an anti - restart protection, so don't worry about the motor starting accidentally when inserting the battery with the switch locked. When changing the wheels, use the large spindle lock button. You can do this even while wearing gloves. Make sure to use the correct wheel for the job, like the inox grinding wheel for grinding or the thin cut - off wheel for cutting. After each use, clean the grinder. Wipe off any debris on the surface, and check the wire mesh intake covers for blockages. Store the grinder in the provided tool bag in a dry place. Periodically, check the batteries for damage and charge them as needed. This way, your Makita XAG13PT1 will serve you well for a long time.
