The Makita 18V Brushless Slide Switch Angle Grinder is engineered with advanced features such as an electric brake, kickback detection, and soft start, ensuring enhanced safety and reduced risk during operation. This tool is ideal for professionals including fabricators, engineers, welders, and stonemasons.
Key features include a slide switch with a lock-on mechanism, an electric brake that quickly halts blade rotation after disengagement, and kickback detection that shuts down the tool when a sudden speed reduction is detected. The soft start feature gradually increases speed to full RPM for smooth and safe operation. Additionally, the Automatic Torque Drive adjusts speed and torque for optimal performance, while the anti-restart function prevents the tool from starting if the switch is engaged when a battery is installed. The XPT eXtreme Protection Technology offers enhanced protection against dust and moisture, making it suitable for outdoor and harsh environments. The ergonomically designed barrel grip with rubber ensures a secure hold and increased control. The BL Brushless Motor provides efficient energy production, resulting in lower heat and extended work on a single charge.
Specifications include a no-load speed of 8,500rpm, an overall length of 362mm, a skin weight of 2.0kg, and a voltage of 18V. The weight with the battery (sold separately) is 2.6kg, and it accommodates a wheel diameter of 125mm (5").
