OUTSMART: Automatic Speed Change optimizes performance by adjusting speed and torque while the vehicle is in motion.
The electric brake brings the grinding or cut-off wheel to a complete stop in less than 2 seconds, allowing for maximum productivity.
For the convenience of the operator, a slide switch with a lock-on feature is provided.
Increased productivity is made possible by quick guard rotation, which allows for simple tool-less adjustments.
Soft start reduces the amount of start-up reaction, resulting in smoother starts and longer gear life.
Designed for demanding applications, the 40V Max XGT Brushless Lithium-Ion 4-1/2 in./5 in. Cordless Cut-Off/Angle Grinder Kit with Electric Brake (4 Ah) (GAG01M1) provides corded grinding performance without the need for a power cord. Powered by a brushless motor manufactured by Makita, it can run at 8500 RPM for heavy-load applications while also delivering increased power and speed. When cutting No.5 (5/8 in.) rebar, the GAG01M1 has a cutting speed that is up to 60% faster than the competition. It is well suited for grinding and cutting a wide variety of materials, including tile, concrete, pipe, conduit, and other similar materials. When used in high-torque applications, an electric current limiter can help prevent the motor from overheating. Machines equipped with Makita’s exclusive Automatic Speed Change technology can be operated at optimal performance by automatically adjusting speed and torque. Additionally, an electric brake that stops the grinding or cutting wheel in less than 2 seconds and Active Feedback-Sensing Technology (AFT) that turns the motor off if the wheel is forced to come to a complete stop are included. A slide switch with a lock-on feature is convenient, and quick guard rotation allows for tool-less adjustments, which increases productivity overall. A feature known as anti-restart protection is designed to prevent the motor from starting when the battery is inserted while the slide switch is locked. A soft start reduces the amount of start-up reaction and allows for smoother start-ups. Intake covers made of wire mesh are designed to keep debris from entering the engine’s intake. Also included is Makita’s Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), which is a series of protective seals that are located throughout the tool’s interior. This technology is intended to improve the operation of a tool in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust away from critical internal components. The use of a reinforced metal gear housing increases the durability of the unit on the job site. MAXIMUM OUTPUT: The Makita-built brushless motor, in conjunction with the 40V Max XGT battery, delivers powerful grinding and up to 60% faster cutting speed than predecessor models. Smoother rotations and a more efficient transfer of energy are achieved through the use of spiral bevel gears. This tool is fantastic; it is quiet and extremely powerful, and it is built to a high standard by Makita.
