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
The BL™ Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL™ Motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life
Variable speed control dial allows manual RPM adjustment (3,000-8,500) to match the speed to the application
Paddle switch with no lock-on for operator convenience
Soft start suppresses start-up reaction for smooth start-ups and longer gear life
Anti-restart protection engineered to prevent motor start up when battery is inserted with the paddle switch in the on position
Efficient BL™ Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge
The electronically-controlled BL™ Brushless Motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application
3-stage L. E. D. gauge indicates battery charge level
Spiral bevel gears for smoother rotations and a more efficient transfer of energy
Wire mesh intake covers are engineered to prevent debris from entering motor
Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh conditions
Rubberized soft grip provides increased comfort on the job
Compact and ergonomic design at only 15" long
Weighs only 5.7 lbs. with battery (battery not included) for reduced operator fatigue
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)
Rapid Optimum Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster, more efficient charging (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 (battery sold separately)
