The 40V Max XGT Brushless Cordless 9 in. Paddle Switch Angle Grinder with Electric Brake and AWS (GAG10Z， tool only) delivers corded grinding performance without the cord for the most demanding applications. It's powered by a Makita-built brushless motor which delivers the power and performance needed for heavy-load applications. The GAG10Z 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. Makita's exclusive Automatic Speed Change technology automatically adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimal performance. 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. A 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 GAG10Z is also equipped with Makita's Extreme Protection Technology (XPT)， a series of protective seals inside the tool.
