2022 Makita Grinding, Sanding & Polishing - Angle Grinders GAG08Z

The 40V max XGT® Brushless Cordless 6” Paddle Switch Angle Grinder with Electric Brake (GAG08Z, tool only) delivers corded grinding performance without the cord for the most demanding applications. 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 paddle switch with no 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 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 GAG08Z is also equipped with Makita's Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), a series of protective seals inside the tool. XPT is designed to improve a tool’s operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components. Reinforced metal gear housing provides additional durability on the job site.

XGT is a system of equipment, tools, batteries and chargers utilizing 40v max lithium-ion batteries. XGT is engineered to deliver high power to take on high-demand applications, allowing users to completely transition to a cordless job site. XGT is equipped with advanced brushless motor engineering, intelligent digital communication, and superior durability features to outpower, outsmart and outlast the rest.

Features may include:

• OUTPOWER: Makita-built brushless motor along with 40V max XGT® battery combine to deliver the power performance required for heavy-load application

• OUTSMART: Electric brake stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 2 seconds or less for maximum productivity

• OUTLAST: Electronic current limiter helps protect the motor from overload in high torque application

• Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT®) turns the motor off if rotation of the wheel is suddenly forced to stop

• Anti-restart protection engineered to prevent motor start up when battery is inserted with switch locked on

• Large paddle switch allows for power start press points at multiple grip positions

• Quick guard rotation allows easy tool-less adjustment for increased productivity

• Soft start suppresses start-up reaction for smooth start-ups and longer gear life

• Spiral bevel gears for smoother rotations and a more efficient transfer of energy

• Reinforced metal gear housing engineered for maximum job site durability
