Grinder offers more cutting speed when cutting 5\/8 Inch rebar that helps in cutting a wide range of materials such as tile, concrete, pipe, conduit and more. Electric current limiter reduces the overloading of motor in high torque applications. Automatic speed change mechanism adjusts the speed and torque automatically depending upon the applications. Electric brake ceases the grinding in just 2 seconds or less. If the rotation of the wheel comes to a stop, the active feedback-sensing technology turns off the motor immediately. Lock-on sliding switch offers good operating convenience and the quick guard rotation facilitates tool-less adjustments. Anti-restart mechanism prevents sudden initiation of the motor when the battery is inserted while the sliding switch is still on. Soft-start mechanism negates start-up reaction for easy initiation of the motor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card-header\" id=\"SpecificationsPDP\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card-body Specifications\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-6 col-sm-3\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-once=\"tab-init\" data-coh-tab-settings='{\"customStyle\":\"coh-style-accordion-items\"}' class=\"coh-accordion-title coh-style-accordion-items is-active\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"__salsify-enhanced-content__line-height\" data-role=\"text\"\u003eDigital communication between battery and tool, and battery to charger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"__salsify-enhanced-content__line-height\" data-role=\"text\"\u003eXGT provides two times longer sustained power under heavy load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"__salsify-enhanced-content__line-height\" data-role=\"text\"\u003eTool and charger identification limits function and power, and limits charging of knock-off batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"__salsify-enhanced-content__line-height\" data-role=\"text\"\u003eCommunication between battery and charger allows 2.5Ah battery to fully charge in 28 min. and 4.0Ah to reach full charge in 45 min.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"productDetails_techSpec_section_1\" class=\"a-keyvalue prodDetTable\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"a-color-secondary a-size-base prodDetSectionEntry\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-size-base prodDetAttrValue\"\u003e‎Makita\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"a-color-secondary a-size-base prodDetSectionEntry\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-size-base prodDetAttrValue\"\u003e‎Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"a-color-secondary a-size-base prodDetSectionEntry\"\u003eStyle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-size-base prodDetAttrValue\"\u003e‎Automatic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"a-color-secondary a-size-base prodDetSectionEntry\"\u003ePower Source\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-size-base prodDetAttrValue\"\u003e‎Corded Electric\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"a-color-secondary a-size-base prodDetSectionEntry\"\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-size-base prodDetAttrValue\"\u003e‎Black, Grey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"a-color-secondary a-size-base prodDetSectionEntry\"\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-size-base prodDetAttrValue\"\u003e‎40 Volts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"a-color-secondary a-size-base prodDetSectionEntry\"\u003eMaximum Rotational Speed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-size-base prodDetAttrValue\"\u003e‎8500 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"a-color-secondary a-size-base prodDetSectionEntry\"\u003eGlobal Trade Identification Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-size-base prodDetAttrValue\"\u003e‎00088381739849\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"a-color-secondary a-size-base prodDetSectionEntry\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"a-size-base prodDetAttrValue\"\u003e‎Makita U.S.A.
