The Makita XAG16Z is a cordless angle grinder for grinding and cutting. It runs on the 18V LXT lithium-ion platform, which is compatible with over 300 Makita tools.
It has a BL brushless motor with no carbon brushes. An electric brake stops wheel rotation in 2 seconds or less. Active Feedback-sensing Technology shuts down the motor if rotation is suddenly forced to stop, which helps prevent kickback. Automatic Speed Change adjusts torque and RPM to match cutting resistance.
A variable speed dial sets the speed between 3,000 and 8,500 RPM for different materials or precision work. The slide switch has a lock-on for continuous operation. Soft start and anti-restart protection give smoother startups and added safety.
