Makita DGA700 Twin 18v LXT Cordless Angle Grinder 180mm

Makita has introduced two heavy duty cordless angle grinders to its industrial range powered by twin 18V batteries to give 36v power to the brushless, high performance motor. These new cordless grinders deliver remarkable mains machine type performance with the added benefit of total manoeuvrability. A host of new features, especially in the machine electronics, ensures maximum operating productivity and at the same time affords a high level of protection for the machine and the operator in tough industrial application.

The DGA700 is powered by a high torque brushless motor that will run up to 7,800 RPM and is suitable for discs up to 7.2mm in thickness. Like the DGA900 it features the new Makita Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT) which shuts down the tool to protect the user if the rotation speed suddenly slows down. This is coupled with Makita's Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT) which automatically changes the cutting speed according to working conditions, ensuring optimum performance at all times. In addition, both grinders include the well proven soft start system that reduces risk for torque twist on initial start-up, and the electronic current limiter that also shuts down the tool through the electric brake if the drive is snagged. These are coupled with the anti-restart function which requires that the control switch to be returned to the ‘off’ position and then back to ‘run’ before the grinder will activate. Should the machine be left in the ‘on’ position when the batteries are removed for charging, the same safety system is triggered to prevent the machine from starting up automatically when the batteries are reconnected.

The DGA700 has a rubberised slim softgrip barrel, with the large switch and lock-off button conveniently placed for ease of use. Additionally, the spindle lock has been designed to be operated easily with gloved hands. The side handle can be fitted on either side of the gear head and an external frame assembly at the rear of the tool helps to prevent the batteries from being damaged in tough environments.
