Makita 18V LXT 4 1/2 / 5″ Paddle Switch Cut-Off/Angle Grinder Bare Tool

The Makita LXT® 4-1/2/5 Inch cut-off/angle grinder is powered by a brushless motor that runs cooler and more efficiently for long duration and also optimizes battery energy use for up to 50%. Automatic Speed Change™ technology offers optimum performance by automatically adjusting speed and torque during operation. The electronic controller offers soft start that suppresses start-up reaction for smooth start-ups and longer gear life. Anti-restart protection is engineered to avoid motor start up in the on-power switch position after a power disruption. The Makita’s star protection computer control protects battery by avoiding over-heating and over-loading. The 3-stage LED gauge alerts about the battery charge level. Wire mesh intake covers are designed to avoid debris from entering motor. Electric brake stops the wheel in 2 seconds or less on release of the paddle switch. AFT® technology turns the motor off if rotation of the wheel is suddenly forced to stop. It includes grinding wheel, wheel guard and cut-off wheel guard. Variable speed control dial allows to manually adjust RPM from 3000 to 8500 based on application requirement. It is compatible with 18 Volts Lithium-Ion batteries with a Star symbol.
