Makita 80V Max (40V Max X2) XGT GEC01PL4 Brushless 14 In. Power Cutter Kit with 4 Batteries, AFT, Electric Brake - GEC01PL4
The Makita brushless power cutter kit contains a 14 Inch power cutter, rapid charger, four 8 Amp-Hours batteries, water hose coupling, cut-off wheel, adapter ring and a universal wrench. Power cutter delivers an operating power of 75.6 cc and has the capacity to cut 15 ft-in concrete as well as 115 cuts on a single #5 rebar. Anti-vibration mechanism prevents vibration while cutting. This device ensures great reliability and exudes no gas, no fumes, no pull starts and zero limitations. Unique water delivery system ensures smooth flow of the water and the adjustable knob allows the user to control the water inflow. Brushless motor delivers an operating speed of 5300 rpm and the belt drive system runs the tool smoothly with less vibration. Active feedback sensing technology turns the motor off if it detects any sudden stopping of the tool. Extreme protection technology ensures great resistance to dust and water in harsh jobsite conditions. Lock-off power switch needs two actions to initiate the power cutter and the integrated LED light as well as the large spindle lock button facilitates easy changing of wheels when wearing gloves. Soft start mechanism prevents unwanted starting of the device and offers good overload protection during high torque situations. Wheels are made from sturdy aluminum to minimize fatigue and produce accurate results in floor cutting applications. The adjustable blade guard makes it easy to cut in low or upper wall zones. The rubberized grip on the handle gives multiple holding positions for user comfort. Tool can be repositioned easily with an electric brake for optimum productivity. Integrated overload indicator alerts the user of excessive power load. XGT battery starts the engine immediately and prevents the hassles of pull starts. Batteries have an impact-resistant construction to secure the tool in harsh conditions. Dual fan design of the charger cools down the battery and circuit board to prolong the tool life and the digital display indicates the battery level. Built-in chip of the charger helps in monitoring the current, voltage and temperature for efficient charging.
