Product Description

Unleash absolute heavy-hitting performance on the toughest jobs with the Makita 40V Max XGT Brushless Cordless 230mm Large Angle Grinder (GA038GZ). Engineered as a true cordless alternative to mains-powered machinery, this massive industrial grinder delivers power equivalent to a 2,200W corded large angle grinder. Designed specifically for deep cutting and aggressive material removal in high-density concrete, masonry, and heavy structural steel, it operates on Makita's premium 40V Max XGT battery platform, completely freeing industrial fabrication shops and civil engineering sites from the constraints and trip hazards of long power cords.

Built for the demanding safety standards of commercial job sites, the GA038GZ features an integrated paddle switch (deadman switch) design that cuts power instantly the moment the operator releases their grip. For smart on-site coordination, it incorporates the Auto-start Wireless System (AWS), utilizing Bluetooth to trigger your compatible dust extractor automatically when the tool is fired up. Under the hood, Makita's custom brushless motor features premium rare-earth magnets and dense copper wiring to prevent stalling under immense loading. It spins a massive 230mm disc capacity at a steady 6,600 rpm, keeping structural cuts quick, predictable, and exceptionally efficient.

Control and user fatigue mitigation are optimized through an innovative anti-vibration side handle that keeps structural shocks isolated away from the worker's hands during continuous cutting runs. Safety features are heavily built in, starring Active Feedback sensing Technology (AFT) to shut down current immediately if the large wheel gets caught or violently pinches in a deep concrete channel. Complete with a fast electronic safety brake that stops the wheel spin in under 2 seconds, an anti-restart function for safe battery hot-swapping, and a smooth soft-start circuit, this 230mm powerhouse brings uncompromised cordless authority to industrial fabrication and structural construction.

Key Features

• 2,200W Corded Equivalent Power: Massive 40V Max XGT motor delivers raw power parity with heavy-duty large corded mains equipment.
• Massive 230mm Disc Capacity: Built for deep infrastructure cutting and extensive large-scale surface grinding on steel and concrete.
• Paddle Switch Safety Control: Deadman switch layout ensures the heavy-duty motor shuts down automatically the moment control is broken.
• Auto-start Wireless System (AWS): On-board Bluetooth linkage automatically syncs and triggers compatible commercial dust extraction units.
• Active Feedback sensing Technology (AFT): Advanced electronic monitoring halts motor current instantly if the huge abrasive disc binds or stalls.
• 2-Second Electric Brake Safety: Rapid electronic deceleration halts wheel rotation safely within two seconds of trigger release.
• Anti-Vibration Side Grip: Ergonomic dampening handle layout isolates structural vibrations to maximize continuous operator comfort.
• Soft-Start & Anti-Restart Logic: Eradicates sudden mechanical twist during initial tool startup and protects against unintended ignition during battery changes.
• High-Purity Brushless Engineering: Loaded with high-grade rare-earth magnets and dense copper windings for unmatched durability under high heat.
