Product Information

Full details

The Makita TM001G is a cordless multi-tool designed for professionals and serious DIYers tackling a variety of cutting, scraping, and sanding tasks. Its key benefit is high work efficiency combined with significantly reduced vibration thanks to Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT). A potential caveat is that batteries and chargers are sold separately, requiring an initial investment if you don't already own compatible Makita 40V Max XGT equipment. This tool features a brushless motor, STARLOCK MAX accessory compatibility, constant and variable speed control, and a built-in LED light.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What batteries are compatible with the TM001G?

The TM001G is powered by Makita's 40V Max XGT Li-Ion batteries. Batteries and chargers are sold separately.

Does this model come with batteries and a charger?

No, this specific configuration (TM001GZ02+2XBL4025+DC40RATM001G201) includes the tool body, two 2.5Ah batteries, one charger, and a carry case. However, the product description states 'Supplied body only... Batteries and chargers are sold separately.' For clarity, check the specific package contents when purchasing. If purchasing the 'body only' version, batteries and chargers must be bought separately.

What types of accessories can I use with this multi-tool?

The TM001G is compatible with STARLOCK, STARLOCK PLUS, and STARLOCK MAX accessories, offering a wide range of blades and attachments for various tasks.

How does the Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT) work?

AVT is a system designed to reduce the vibration transmitted to the user. It typically involves counterweights and dampened handles to absorb and minimize tool-induced shaking, allowing for longer and more comfortable operation.

Can I use this tool for heavy-duty demolition?

While powerful, the TM001G is primarily designed for efficient cutting, scraping, and sanding. For very heavy demolition, dedicated demolition tools might be more appropriate. However, it can handle demanding tasks like cutting through tough materials or removing stubborn adhesives.

How do I change accessories?

The TM001G features a tool-less accessory clamp. Simply lift the lever to release the old accessory, insert the new one until it clicks, and then close the lever to secure it.

Is the speed adjustable?

Yes, the tool has both a variable speed control dial for precise adjustment and constant speed control which maintains speed under load.

Troubleshooting

Tool not turning on

Ensure the 40V Max XGT battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that the battery contacts are clean. Verify the tool's power switch is engaged.

Accessory not securely fitting

Confirm you are using a compatible STARLOCK, STARLOCK PLUS, or STARLOCK MAX accessory. Ensure the tool-less clamp lever is fully open before inserting the accessory and fully closed afterwards. Check the accessory and clamp for any damage or debris.

Reduced performance or power

The battery may be low; try a fully charged battery. Check the accessory for dullness or damage, and replace if necessary. Ensure the air vents on the tool are not blocked.

Excessive vibration (beyond normal operation)

Ensure the accessory is correctly installed and not bent or damaged. Check that the tool is clean and free of debris buildup around the motor housing and accessory mount.
