XAG20Z 5" 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Paddle Switch Cut-Off/Angle Grinder with Electric Brake Tool Only

The product delivers corded grinding performance without the cord with the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless 4-1/2" / 5" Paddle Switch Cut-Off/Angle Grinder with Electric Brake (tool only, battery 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. The XAG20Z is ideal for grinding and cutting a wide range of materials including tile, concrete, pipe, conduit, and more.

Additional features include an electric brake that stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 2 seconds or less, and Electronic Torque Control that turns the motor off if rotation speed suddenly slows or the wheel is forced to a stop. The variable speed control dial allows manual RPM adjustment (3,000 - 8,500), allowing the user to match the speed to the application.

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.
