Makita delivers corded grinding performance without the cord with the Makita 18V LXT 4-1/2 in./5 in. Paddle Switch Angle Grinder. It's powered by a Makita brushless motor for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. For the most demanding applications, Makita's exclusive Automatic Speed Change Technology automatically adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimal performance. For added convenience, the angle grinder has an electric brake that stops the wheel in 2 seconds or less upon release of the paddle switch.

• Electric brake stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 2 seconds or less for maximum productivity
• Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT) turns the motor off if rotation of the wheel is suddenly forced to stop
• Automatic Speed Change technology adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimum performance
• BL Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL Motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life; delivers 8,500 RPM
• Efficient BL Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge
• Electronically-controlled BL Brushless Motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application
• Compact and ergonomic design of the paddle switch angle grinder is only 14-1/4 in. long
• Weighs only 5.8 lb. with battery (battery not included) for reduced operator fatigue
• Rubberized soft grip on the angle grinder provides increased comfort on the job
• Three-stage L.E.D. gauge indicates battery charge level
• Soft start suppresses start-up reaction for smooth start-ups and longer gear life
• Spiral bevel gears in the angle grinder for smoother rotations and a more efficient transfer of energy
• Anti-restart protection engineered to prevent motor start up when battery is inserted with switch locked on
• Wire mesh intake covers are engineered to prevent debris from entering motor
• Efficient internal cooling is engineered for optimum performance
• Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh conditions
• Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating
• Rapid Optimum Charger communicates with the battery's built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature (battery and charger sold separately)
• Makita technology delivers category-leading charge time so the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger (battery and charger sold separately)
• Compatible with Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries with a Star symbol
• Three-year limited warranty
• Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers
