The 40V max XGT Brushless Cordless 4-1/2″ / 5 Angle Grinder with Electric Brake and AWS (GAG04M1) delivers corded grinding performance without the cord for the most demanding applications.

It’s powered by a Makita-built brushless motor which delivers variable 3,000-8,500 RPM for heavy-load applications and increased power and speed. The GAG04M1 offers up to 60% faster cutting speed when cutting #5 (5/8) rebar. It is ideal for grinding and cutting a wide range of materials including tile, concrete, pipe, conduit, and more.

An electric current limiter helps protect the motor from overload in high-torque applications. Additional features include an electric brake that stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 2 seconds or less and Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT) that turns the motor off if rotation of the wheel is forced to a stop.

A slide switch with lock-on is convenient, while quick guard rotation provides tool-less adjustments for increased productivity. Anti-restart protection is engineered to prevent motor start-up when the battery is inserted while the slide switch is locked on. A soft start suppresses start-up reaction and provides smooth start-ups.

Wire mesh intake covers are engineered to prevent debris from entering the motor. The GAG04M1 is also equipped with Makita’s Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), a series of protective seals inside the tool. XPT is designed to improve a tools operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components. Reinforced metal gear housing provides additional durability on the job site.
