Makita® 18V LXT® XAG26Z Cordless Angle Grinder With AFT®, Tool/Kit: Tool, 5 in Dia Wheel, 18 V, Lithium-Ion Battery

Makita® 18V LXT® Cordless Angle Grinder, Tool, 5 in Wheel Diameter, 18 V, Lithium-Ion Battery, 8500 rpm, Paddle Switch, Soft Grip Handle, Rubber Handle, 14-3/4 in Overall Length

Makita® delivers grinding performance with the 18 V LXT® brushless 4-1/2 in/5 in paddle switch X-LOCK® angle grinder with AFT®, tool only (XAG26Z). The unique feature with this angle grinder is the X-LOCK® Technology, which is a quick-change system for tool-free wheel changes. A click-mount and pull release lever make changing wheels easy. The XAG26Z is ideal for grinding and cutting a wide range of materials including tile, concrete, pipe, conduit and more. Its powered by a Makita® built brushless motor for longer run time, increased power and speed and longer tool life. The BL™ brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life. Active feedback sensing technology (AFT®) turns the motor off if rotation speed suddenly slows or the wheel is forced to a stop. The XAG26Z also includes a large no lock-on flush-mount paddle switch with two stage lock-off. In the event that a battery is installed while pulling the paddle switch into the on position, the anti-restart function prevents the grinder from starting. Its part of Makita® expanding 18 V LXT® system, the worlds largest cordless tool system powered by 18 V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita® 18 V LXT® 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, Makita® 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 Makita® 18 V LXT® lithium-ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating star protection inside.
