Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this angle grinder come with a battery and charger?

No, the Makita GA013G XGT is sold as a bare tool. You will need to purchase Makita 40Vmax XGT batteries and a compatible charger separately.

What is the maximum wheel thickness this grinder can accommodate?

The grinder is designed for a maximum wheel thickness of 7.2mm.

How do I adjust the wheel cover?

This model features a tool-less wheel cover, meaning you can adjust or remove it by hand without needing any additional tools. Refer to the manual for specific adjustment points.

What does 'AFT' stand for and how does it work?

AFT stands for Active Feedback Sensing Technology. It detects if the tool's rotation speed suddenly stops (e.g., if the disc binds) and automatically shuts off the motor to protect the user from kickback.

Can I use this grinder in wet conditions?

The tool features XPT (Extreme Protection Technology), which provides improved dust and water resistance. However, it is not waterproof, and prolonged exposure to heavy moisture or immersion should be avoided. Always use caution in wet environments.

What is the spindle thread size?

The spindle thread size is M14.

How do I change the grinding wheel?

Ensure the battery is removed. Press and hold the spindle lock button to prevent the spindle from rotating, then use the appropriate wrench to loosen and remove the lock nut and flange. Replace the wheel and reassemble, tightening the lock nut securely.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not start

Ensure a fully charged 40Vmax XGT battery is securely inserted. Check if the paddle switch is fully depressed. If the issue persists, the battery protection system may have activated; allow the tool to cool down and recharge the battery.

Reduced power or performance

The battery may be low; try a fully charged battery. Check for any obstructions or blockages in the air vents that could be causing overheating. Ensure the correct type and size of accessory is being used.

Excessive vibration

Ensure the accessory is correctly mounted and balanced. Check for damage to the accessory. If the problem persists, contact customer support.

AFT (Active Feedback Sensing Technology) engages frequently

This indicates the tool is encountering resistance that could lead to kickback. Reduce the pressure applied to the material, ensure the cutting/grinding wheel is sharp and appropriate for the material, and check for any binding in the workpiece.
