Using the Makita GAG14M1 angle grinder is straightforward. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. Insert the battery into the grinder and ensure it's properly seated. You can hold the grinder using the side handle and the main body grip. Press the large paddle switch to start the grinder. The soft start feature will ensure a smooth start. When using it, be aware of the wheel's rotation and the pressure you apply. The electronic current limiter will protect the motor from overload, but try to avoid excessive force. After use, turn off the grinder and remove the battery. To maintain your grinder, keep it clean. The wire mesh intake covers prevent debris from entering the motor, but you can still use a soft brush to clean the exterior. Make sure to store it in a dry place. Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers for best performance and safety. Also, remember that the grinder has an anti - restart protection feature, so don't be alarmed if it doesn't start when the switch is locked on and the battery is inserted. If you need to adjust the wheel guard, use the quick guard rotation feature for easy tool - less adjustment. And always follow the safety guidelines and wear appropriate protective gear like goggles and gloves. The 40V max XGT® Lithium - Ion 4.0Ah Battery (BL4040) charges fully in 45 minutes or less using the XGT® Rapid Charger. Check the charger's digital display to see the battery charge level.
