Angle Grinder – Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion 4-1/2 in.

Makita delivers corded grinding performance without the cord with the 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 4-1/2 in. Cut-Off/Angle Grinder (model XAG03M). 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. The 18-Volt LXT 4.0Ah battery provides 35% more run time per charge than the BL1830 (3.0Ah) battery, yet it charges in only 40 minutes for less downtime and increased productivity. The XAG03M 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 18-Volt Lithium-ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. Makita 18-Volt 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.
