18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 4-1/2" Cut-Off/Angle Grinder, Tool Only

Catalog (SKU) Number: MK-XAG03Z

Automatic Speed Change™ technology adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimum performance. The BL™ Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL™ Motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life. Efficient BL™ Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge. The electronically-controlled BL™ Brushless Motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application. Compact and ergonomic design at only 14-1/4" long. Weighs only 5.5 lbs. with battery (battery not included) for reduced operator fatigue. Rubberized soft grip provides increased comfort on the job. Slide switch with lock-on for operator convenience. 3-stage L.E.D. gauge indicates battery charge level. Soft start suppresses start-up reaction for smooth start-ups and longer gear life. Spiral bevel gears for smoother rotations and a more efficient transfer of energy. Anti-restart protection engineered to prevent motor start up when battery is inserted with switch locked on. Efficient internal cooling is engineered for optimum performance. Wire mesh intake covers are engineered to prevent debris from entering motor. Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating. Rapid Optimum Charger communicates with the battery's built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature (battery and charger sold separately). Rapid Optimum Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster, more efficient charging (battery and charger sold separately). Makita technology delivers category-leading charge time so the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger (battery and charger sold separately). Compatible with Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries with a Star symbol (battery sold separately). Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh conditions. Battery and charger sold separately. 3-year limited warranty. Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers.
