Product Information
Full details
The Makita GA013GZ XGT 40Vmax BL Paddle Switch Grinder is designed for professionals and serious DIYers undertaking heavy-duty cutting and grinding tasks. Its key benefit lies in its powerful brushless motor and advanced safety features, ensuring efficient and safe operation. A primary consideration is that batteries and a charger are sold separately, requiring an existing XGT 40Vmax system or separate purchase. This tool features a safety paddle switch, soft start, electric brake, anti-restart function, and Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT) for enhanced user protection and durability. The tool-less wheel cover allows for quick and safe disc changes.

FAQs
What type of battery does the Makita GA013GZ use?
The GA013GZ requires a Makita 40Vmax XGT slide-style battery. These are sold separately.
Does this grinder come with a battery and charger?
No, the Makita GA013GZ is supplied as a tool only. Batteries and a charger must be purchased separately.
What is the maximum disc diameter for this grinder?
The maximum disc diameter is 125mm (or 12.5 cm).
How do I change the grinding disc?
The tool features a tool-less wheel cover for quick adjustments. Follow the instructions in the manual for safe disc removal and installation, ensuring the spindle lock is engaged during changes.
What does the Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT) do?
AFT is a safety feature that automatically shuts down the tool if the rotation speed suddenly slows down, for example, if the disc binds or catches. This helps prevent kickback and protects the user.
Can I use this grinder for continuous, light-duty tasks?
While capable, its design is optimized for heavy-duty cutting and grinding. For lighter tasks, consider if its power and features are necessary, or if a lighter model would be more suitable for prolonged use.
What is the warranty period for this tool?
Warranty details can vary by region and retailer. Please refer to the official Makita warranty documentation or your point of purchase for specific terms and conditions.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not turn on.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that the paddle switch is functioning properly and that the anti-restart mechanism is not engaged.
Tool stops unexpectedly during use.
This could be due to the Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT) engaging if the disc binds or slows down rapidly. Release the paddle switch, check the workpiece and disc for obstructions, and restart. If the battery is low, it may also cause the tool to stop.
Disc is not spinning at full speed.
Check the battery charge level. Ensure the disc is correctly installed and not binding against the guard or workpiece. Clean any debris from the motor vents.
Excessive vibration.
Ensure the grinding disc is correctly mounted and balanced. Check for damage to the disc or the tool's spindle. Make sure the side handle is securely attached.
