The efficient brushless motor and the exclusive Automatic Speed Change Technology (ASCT) delivers corded grinding performance using the efficient 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah battery for longer run time and the industry’s fastest charge time.
ASCT adjusts speed and torque during grinding or cutting applications for optimum performance, even under heavy load.
In addition, the efficient BL Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge than similar non-brushless tools.
The efficient Makita brushless motor delivers 8,500 RPM for faster grinding, with soft start to suppress start-up reaction for smooth start-ups and longer gear life.
For increased durability, the grinder is equipped with Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), a protective seal inside the tool engineered for improved dust and moisture resistance by channeling debris away from the tool’s key internal components.
The grinder is also equipped with wire mesh intake covers engineered to prevent debris from entering the motor.
