The XAG09 has been equipped with Makita’s brushless motor for increased power, speed, and longer tool life. For maximum productivity the added electric break stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 2 seconds or less.  Matched with Makita’s Automatic Speed Change Technology which adjusts speed and torque for optimal performance, this grinder is made for a wide range of applications.
 
The BL™ Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL™ Motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life
Automatic Speed Change™ technology adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimum performance
Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT®) turns the motor off if rotation of the wheel is suddenly forced to stop
Electric brake stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 2 seconds or less for maximum productivity
Slide switch with lock-on for operator convenience
Anti-restart protection engineered to prevent motor start up when battery is inserted with switch locked on
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
Rubberized soft grip provides increased comfort on the job
3-stage L.E.D. gauge indicates battery charge level
Wire mesh intake covers are engineered to prevent debris from entering motor
