Makita delivers corded grinding performance without the cord with the 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless 4-1/2" / 5" Cut-Off/Angle Grinder with Paddle Switch (model XAG11Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately). 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 XAG11Z has an electric brake that stops the wheel in 2 seconds or less upon release of the paddle switch.

The XAG11Z is ideal for grinding, cutting and sanding a wide range of materials including tile, concrete, pipe, conduit, and more.

It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

Features

• 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; 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
• The electronically-controlled BL™ Brushless Motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application
• Compact and ergonomic design at only 14-1/4" long
• Weighs only 5.8 lbs with battery (battery not included) for reduced operator fatigue
• Rubberized soft grip provides increased comfort on the job
• 3-Stage LED gauge indicates battery charge level
• 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
• Anti-restart protection engineered to prevent motor startup when the 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
