MAKITA 40V Max XGT GAG01M1 Brushless Cordless 4‑1/2” / 5" Angle Grinder Kit, with Electric Brake (4.0Ah) - GAG01M1

MAKITA 40V Max XGT GAG01M1 Brushless Cordless 4‑1/2” / 5" Angle Grinder Kit, with Electric Brake (4.0Ah) - GAG01M1

The Makita XGT brushless cordless 5 Inch cut-off angle grinder is powered by a Makita-built 40 Volt brushless motor that delivers an operating speed of 8500 RPM for heavy-duty applications. Grinder offers more cutting speed when cutting 5/8 Inch rebar that helps in cutting a wide range of materials such as tile, concrete, pipe, conduit and more. Electric current limiter reduces the overloading of motor in high torque applications. Automatic speed change mechanism adjusts the speed and torque automatically depending upon the applications. Electric brake ceases the grinding in just 2 seconds or less. If the rotation of the wheel comes to a stop, the active feedback-sensing technology turns off the motor immediately. Lock-on sliding switch offers good operating convenience and the quick guard rotation facilitates tool-less adjustments. Anti-restart mechanism prevents sudden initiation of the motor when the battery is inserted while the sliding switch is still on. Soft-start mechanism negates start-up reaction for easy initiation of the motor.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean After Each Use: After using the grinder, remove dust, debris, and metal shavings from the motor vents, housing, and guard. Use compressed air or a soft brush for hard-to-reach areas.

• Inspect the Disc and Guard: Check the grinding disc for wear, cracks, or damage before each use. Ensure the guard is securely in place and properly adjusted to protect you during operation.

• Lubricate Moving Parts: Periodically lubricate the spindle and other moving parts with the recommended grease to ensure smooth operation.

• Battery Care: Keep the 40V Max battery charged but avoid overcharging. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use, and avoid leaving it in the grinder for long periods.

• Check for Loose Components: Inspect the handle, discs, and other parts before use. Tighten any loose screws or components to ensure safe operation.

• Electric Brake Check: Ensure the electric brake system is functioning properly by checking for fast stopping after turning off the tool.
