GA044GZ02 – Makita 40V Brushless X-Lock AWS Paddle Switch Angle Grinder: Precision Meets Performance

When it comes to grinding and cutting tasks, precision and performance are non-negotiable. The GA044GZ02 Makita 40V Brushless X-Lock AWS Paddle Switch Angle Grinder is your answer to elevated productivity and uncompromising safety. With a host of innovative features, this angle grinder is designed to meet the demands of even the toughest jobs. Let’s explore what makes it stand out.

Innovative Features for Precision and Safety

X-Lock Wheel Lock System

• Tool-Less Wheel Changes: The GA044GZ02 features an X-Lock wheel lock system, allowing you to install or remove X-Lock wheels with a single action. This not only minimizes downtime but also prevents over or under-tightening of accessories, ensuring consistent and precise performance.

eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT)

• Enhanced Durability: Engineered for increased durability and longer tool life, XPT provides superior protection against dust and moisture. This means your angle grinder can tackle challenging tasks even in harsh job site conditions with confidence.

Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT)

• Kickback Protection: Your safety is paramount. AFT sensors in the tool automatically shut it down in the event of a kickback, providing crucial user protection. If the wheel rotation is suddenly forced to stop, such as when the wheel jams, the motor automatically shuts down.

Variable Speed Control

• Tailored Performance: The variable speed control dial allows you to adjust the speed from 3,000rpm to 8,500rpm. This feature ensures that you can precisely match the speed to the accessory and the application at hand, enhancing your control and precision.

Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS) Compatibility

• Effortless Dust Extraction: When paired with a compatible vacuum, the AWS feature allows for on-demand dust extraction. AWS utilizes Bluetooth technology to wirelessly power the extraction unit on and off using the tool’s trigger, ensuring a clean and safe workspace.

Constant Speed Control

• Optimum Performance Under Load: Maintain wheel speed even under heavy load with constant speed control. This ensures that your angle grinder delivers peak performance in all applications, regardless of the demands placed on it.

Soft Start and Anti-Restart

• Enhanced User Safety: The angle grinder incorporates a soft start feature, gradually accelerating the wheel from a slow start to maximum speed. This reduces the initial start-up shock, making it easier to handle. Additionally, the anti-restart function prevents the tool from starting if the trigger is depressed when a battery is installed.

Electric Brake

• Enhanced Productivity and Safety: The electric brake is a valuable feature that rapidly slows down the wheel rotation after the switch is released. This not only enhances safety but also maximizes productivity by reducing downtime between tasks.
