The Makita GAG13Z 40V max XGT Brushless Cordless Angle Grinder is a high - performance tool. Powered by a Makita - built brushless motor and a 40V max XGT battery, it offers powerful grinding and cuts up to 60% faster than previous models. The X - LOCK quick change system enables you to change wheels without tools, using a simple snap - on and pull - release mechanism. This grinder is perfect for grinding and cutting various materials such as tile, concrete, and pipes. The large paddle switch allows for easy power starts from multiple grip positions. The brushless motor provides longer run time, more power, and speed, and extends the tool's lifespan. It also has Active Feedback - sensing Technology (AFT®) that shuts off the motor if the wheel suddenly stops. The electronic current limiter protects the motor from overload. Other features include quick guard rotation for easy adjustment, spiral bevel gears for smooth rotations, and a soft start for a gentle startup and longer gear life. With a rubberized soft grip and a compact 16 - 1/2' size, it offers great comfort and can be used in tight spaces. The XGT system is designed for high - demand cordless jobs, with advanced motor engineering, digital communication, and high durability. Included in the package are a 40V max XGT Brushless Cordless Angle Grinder, an X - LOCK grinding wheel, and a tool - less wheel guard.
Using the Makita GAG13Z Angle Grinder is easy. First, make sure the battery is properly inserted. You can start the grinder using the large paddle switch from different grip positions. When it's time to change the wheel, use the X - LOCK quick change system. Just snap on the new wheel and pull the release lever to remove the old one. For cutting or grinding, choose the appropriate wheel for the material you're working with, like tile or concrete. As for safety, always wear protective gear such as goggles and gloves. The grinder has an electric brake, which stops the wheel in 2 seconds or less, but still be careful. Also, the Active Feedback - sensing Technology (AFT®) will turn off the motor if the wheel is forced to stop suddenly. Don't forget about the anti - restart protection, so you won't accidentally start the motor when inserting the battery. To maintain your grinder, keep the wire mesh intake covers clean to prevent debris from entering the motor. The Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) helps with dust and water resistance, but try to avoid using it in extremely wet or dusty conditions. If you're not using the grinder for a long time, store it in a dry place and remove the battery. This will help keep your Makita GAG13Z in good shape for a long time.
