Electric brakes can stop a grinding or cutting wheel in less than two seconds so that you can work as quickly as possible.
It turns off the motor if the wheel is suddenly forced to stop moving. Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT) is what does this.
Automatic Speed Change technology changes speed and torque while the machine is running to get the best results.
The BL Brushless Motor doesn’t have carbon brushes, which makes the BL Motor run cooler and more efficiently for a longer time. It also has 8,500 RPM.
A powerful BL Brushless motor is electronically controlled to make the most of battery power for up to 50% more run time per charge.

The Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless 4-1/2″/ 5″ Cut-off/angle Grinder with a paddle switch gives you the power of a corded grinder without the cord (model XAG11Z, Tool only, batteries and charger sold separately). It has a Makita Brushless motor that gives it more power, speed, and run time. It also has a longer tool life. For the most difficult jobs, Makita’s unique automatic speed ChangeTM technology automatically adjusts speed and torque to get the best results. The XAG11Z has an Electric brake that stops the wheel in 2 seconds or less when the paddle switch is released. This makes it even easier to get around. The XAG11Z can be used to grind, cut, and sand a wide range of materials, like tile, concrete, pipe, conduit, and more.
What a big change in technology and how important it is to have safety. A disk guard alone is not enough. It was time to get rid of the old plugin Makita. It attacked me. During cutting, the tool jerked. In a split second and without warning, the tool violently pushed out my work piece, rotated, and ricocheted like a gyroscope, then ate the power cord when she hit the ground. Then, the pain hit like a sledge hammer. Angry, I looked at my left hand. I saw dangling parts that looked like nails. Dangling, that’s what I meant. My leg hurt and my jeans were ripped on the thigh when I got to the hospital. There were also two tendons that were severed, a piece of bone was broken, and cartilage was ground down on the bottom of my leg. At the end of the year, my fingers were back to 99.999% of their normal size. Think I’m lucky. For this new grinder, I would let my kids use it under supervision because I’m sure it’s safe and easy to use. When you let go of the momentary switch, the motor comes to a stop right away. Before, during, and after a cut or grind, the chip set controls the rpm by setting the speed. It’s important to make sure that the battery is out when you change disks. People, stay safe.
