It's brushless 18v DC motor is more efficient and increases run time by around 30% per battery cell and the automatic speed control changes the cutting speed according to the load condition for optimum operation keeping the tool and battery working as efficiently as possible. The anti-restart function means that if the switch is left in the on position and a battery is inserted the machine will not start up unexpectedly preventing accidents and damage to surfaces plus a soft start function prevents "snagging" at startup. Electric brake and anti restart function – There comes a time when working with power tools that you want to bring it to a complete stop immediately to avoid getting hurt. This electric brake is a great safety feature that helps users stop the tool and prevent any serious injuries from happening. The anti restart function is also wonderful because it prevents the tool from accidentally starting which can also cause injuries. Equipped with Battery protection circuit: designed to protect the battery from damages due to overdischarge, high temperature or overload current. Comes With: If you need something slightly more compact, the Makita GA9050 230mm Angle Grinder will deliver. It offers a 230 mm wheel diameter, with a 22 mm bore diameter. This machine is double insulated for added safety and features 6,600 RPM enabling you to handle every project with ease. It is also a relatively light angle grinder at only 4.7 kg, making it comfortable to handle for long durations. The no-slip grip helps to reduce the risk of injury and potential harm or damage to your work. Another feature of the DGA519Z is Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT) that automatically changes the cutting speed according to load condition for optimum operation. A 3 stage LED battery displays remaining battery levels and the battery protection circuit prevents the battery from being overloaded or overheating thus increasing battery life.

Find the value in the table that lines up with the magnitude and time. The illustration shows how it works for a magnitude of 5 m/s2 and an exposure time of 3 hours: in this case the exposure corresponds to 150 points. Well built– Makita products are always well built and this tool is one of the strongest around because of the materials used to make it. It is very durable and comfortable to use thanks to its innovative design from the manufacturers. Convenient side grip– The handle can be installed either on the left or right of the grinder offering you a high level of flexibility no matter your preferred hand. Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT)– You can change the cutting speed on this grinder depending on the load condition with this feature. The ability to do this means you can control the force you apply on materials to get the best results. The colour of the square containing the exposure points value tells you whether the exposure exceeds, or is likely to exceed, the exposure action or limit value:

The exposures for different combinations of vibration magnitude and exposure time are given in exposure points instead of values in m/s2 A(8). You may find the exposure points easier to work with than the A(8) values: Poor user manual– A lot of people complain that while Makita makes good quality products, their users’ manual is not very informative. If you don’t have a lot of experience with grinders, it’s best to start with other models and get used to the feel of the tool before you buy this one.

The Makita DGA519Z is an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys DIY jobs and repairs. The battery-powered design and small size allow you to use it in very tight spaces. Makita always makes tools that are durable and you can use this on a variety of jobs like grinding, tile cutting, and wood adjusting without it showing signs of dents.
