Makita GAG04Z 40V max XGT Brushless Cordless 4‑1/2” / 5" Angle Grinder, with Electric Brake, AWS Capable (Tool Only)

The 40V max XGT® Brushless Cordless 4-1/2" / 5” Angle Grinder with Electric Brake and AWS® (GAG04Z, tool only) delivers corded grinding performance without the cord for the most demanding applications. It's powered by a Makita-built brushless motor which delivers variable 3,000-8,500 RPM for heavy-load applications and increased power and speed. The GAG04Z offers up to 60% faster cutting speed when cutting #5 (5/8”) rebar. It is ideal for grinding and cutting a wide range of materials including tile, concrete, pipe, conduit, and more.

An electric current limiter helps protect the motor from overload in high-torque applications. Additional features include an electric brake that stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 2 seconds or less and Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT®) that turns the motor off if rotation of the wheel is forced to a stop.

Key Features:

• OUTPOWER: Makita-built brushless motor along with 40V max XGT® battery combine to deliver powerful grinding and up to 60% faster cutting speed than predecessor models
• OUTSMART: Auto-start Wireless System (AWS®) utilizes Bluetooth® technology for wireless power-on/off communication between tool and dust extractor (AWS® Transmitter sold separately)
• OUTLAST: Electronic current limiter helps protect the motor from overload in high torque application
• Variable speed control dial allows for RPM adjustment (3,000-8,500) to match the speed to the application
• Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT®) turns the motor off if rotation of the wheel is suddenly forced to stop
• Electric brake stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 2 seconds or less for maximum productivity
• Anti-restart protection engineered to prevent motor start up when battery is inserted with switch locked on
• Slide switch with lock-on for operator convenience
• Quick guard rotation allows easy tool-less adjustment for increased productivity
• Soft start suppresses start-up reaction for smooth start-ups and longer gear life
• Spiral bevel gears for smoother rotations and a more efficient transfer of energy
• Reinforced metal gear housing engineered for maximum job site durability
• 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 at only 16-3/4" long; ideal for tight spaces
• The digital communication within XGT® optimizes performance to provide up to 2X longer sustained power under heavy-load applications
• The digital communication within XGT® actively monitors and protects against overload, over-discharge and overheating
• XGT® Tools and Batteries are designed with a multi-layer contact interface for more constant power delivery to take on high-current demands
• XGT® Batteries feature rigid rails with impact-resistant construction to secure the battery to the tool during high-demand applications (batteries not included)
• Compatible with Makita® 40V max XGT® Lithium-Ion Batteries
