The product 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 brushless motor for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. For the most demanding applications, 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 expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. 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.
For improved tool performance and extended battery life, created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by 18V LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the Star Symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
Tool users who unplug the cord with 18V LXT experience new levels of convenience, efficiency and productivity. Created the 18V Lithium-Ion cordless tool category in 2005, and today it is the world's largest 18V cordless tool line-up. leading technology gives tool users unmatched performance and breadth of line, with innovation in motor and battery technology that is obliterating industry standards - and leaving old thinking behind. With high amp-hour batteries, efficient brushed and brushless motors, and 36V (18V X2) LXT technology, Makita 18V LXT tools not only meet corded demands, they can exceed the performance of corded, all while remaining in a single cordless platform powered by the industry's fastest-charging 18V lithium-ion batteries.
Cordless tools are engineered for industrial applications, and for added protection during the most demanding jobs created STAR Protection Computer Controls. STAR is communications technology that monitors conditions during use, allowing the tool and battery to exchange data to protect against overloading, overdischarging and overheating. If STAR detects conditions that threaten to overload, overdischarge or overheat the tool or battery, the tool will automatically stop. At that time the user can either restart the tool, change or charge the battery, and put the tool back to work. When you slide a Makita 18V LXT battery with the STAR symbol onto a Makita tool that has either the STAR symbol or a yellow terminal, you are benefitting from STAR Protection Computer Controls.
Automatic Speed Change is technology that adjusts speed and torque for optimal performance, even in the most demanding applications. During operation, if the tool is put under heavy load, Automatically Speed Change detects the added demand and applies more torque and speed to finish the job. Makita cordless tools with Automatic Speed Change are engineered to deliver corded performance, without the cord.
When the job takes your Makita tool into harsh conditions, Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) provides added protection. XPT is a series of integrated seals engineered to channel away dust and water for increased durability. Wherever the job takes you, tools equipped with XPT are engineered for increased durability and longer tool life.
