The GAG08Z 6” Angle Grinder comes with a quick guard rotation, which allows easy tool-less adjustments. It is great for grinding and cutting materials including tile, concrete, pipe conduit and more.  Equipped with electric brake which stops the tool in 2 seconds or less, also the active feedback-sensing Technology (AFT) turn the motor off for sudden forced stops.
With the large paddle switch it allows for power start press points in many grip positions. 
A rubberized soft grip, total length of 16-1/8” and weighting 8.2 lbs. with battery, makes this tool operator-friendly.
 
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
