The Makita GAG10Z is a 40V max XGT® brushless cordless 9-inch paddle switch angle grinder with an electric brake and AWS®. It offers corded grinding performance without the cord, perfect for tough jobs. Powered by a Makita-built brushless motor, it has the power for heavy loads. Ideal for grinding and cutting materials like tile, concrete, and pipes. An electric current limiter protects the motor from overload. Makita’s Automatic Speed Change™ technology adjusts speed and torque for top performance. The electric brake stops the wheel in 2 seconds or less. AFT® turns off the motor if the wheel stops suddenly. The paddle switch, without lock-on, is user-friendly. Quick guard rotation allows tool-less adjustments for more productivity. Anti-restart protection stops the motor from starting when the battery is inserted with the switch on. Soft start suppresses reaction for smooth starts. Wire mesh intake covers keep debris out of the motor. It's equipped with XPT™ for better performance in harsh conditions. The reinforced metal gear housing adds durability. XGT is a system using 40V max lithium-ion batteries, delivering high power for high-demand jobs. AWS® uses Bluetooth® for wireless communication between the tool and dust extractor, increasing productivity and reducing noise. Included are a 9-inch cut-off wheel guard, a 9 x 1/4 x 7/8 INOX grinding wheel, a lock nut wrench, and a side handle.
Using the Makita GAG10Z is easy. First, make sure the battery is fully charged and inserted properly. Then, you can start using the grinder by pressing the paddle switch. When grinding or cutting, choose the right wheel for the material you're working on. For example, use the INOX grinding wheel for materials like metal. Remember, the electric brake stops the wheel quickly, so you can change tasks safely. The quick guard rotation feature allows you to adjust the guard without tools, which is very convenient. As for safety, always wear protective gear like goggles and gloves. Also, the anti-restart protection is there to prevent the motor from starting when the battery is inserted with the switch on. This is a great safety feature, but still be careful. For maintenance, keep the wire mesh intake covers clean to prevent debris from entering the motor. The XPT™ technology helps protect the tool from dust and water, but try to avoid using it in extremely wet or dirty conditions. If the tool gets dirty, you can use a soft brush to clean it. Check the battery regularly and charge it as needed. With proper use and maintenance, your Makita GAG10Z will serve you well for a long time.
