Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 4-1/2 in./5 in. Paddle Switch Cut-Off/Angle Grinder (Tool-Only)

Makita delivers corded grinding performance without the cord with the 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless 4-1/2 in. or 5 in. Cut-Off/Angle Grinder with Paddle Switch (model XAG11Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately). It’s powered by a Makita brushless motor for longer run time, increased power and speed and longer tool life. For the most demanding applications, Makita’s exclusive Automatic Speed Change Technology automatically adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimal performance. For added convenience, the XAG11Z has an electric brake that stops the wheel in 2-seconds or less upon release of the paddle switch. The XAG11Z is ideal for grinding, cutting and sanding a wide range of materials including tile, concrete, pipe, conduit and more. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18-Volt LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the Star Symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

• Electric brake stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 2-seconds or less for maximum productivity
• Active Feedback-Sensing Technology (AFT) turns the motor off if rotation of the wheel is suddenly forced to stop
• Automatic Speed Change technology adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimum performance
• BL brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life, delivers 8,500 RPM
• Efficient BL brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge
• 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 in. L
• Weight only 5.8 lbs. with battery (battery not included) for reduced operator fatigue
• Rubberized soft grip provides increased comfort on the job
• 3-stage LED 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
