Angle Grinder Makita GA016GZ 40V

The Makita GA016GZ 40V cordless angle grinder is a battery-powered tool designed for cutting, grinding, and polishing with a 125 mm disc. Equipped with a brushless motor, the tool delivers efficient power conversion and reduced maintenance compared with brushed alternatives. The compact and lightweight body improves maneuverability for overhead and tight-space work, while adjustable speed settings allow adaptation to different materials and tasks.

Advantages

The brushless motor increases efficiency and run time while reducing heat and wear. A 125 mm disc diameter supports a wide range of cutting and grinding applications without excessive bulk. Variable speed control enables fine adjustment for metalworking, masonry, and finishing tasks. A lightweight, ergonomically shaped housing reduces user fatigue during extended use and improves control. The cordless design removes the restriction of power cords, enabling mobile use on job sites or locations without convenient mains access.

Suitable for

• Cutting metal, rebar, and steel profiles
• Grinding welds and removing rust or scale
• Polishing and finishing surfaces with appropriate discs
• On-site repair and maintenance where corded power is impractical

Key specifications

• Power source: 40 V battery (cordless)
• Motor type: brushless
• Disc diameter: 125 mm
• Adjustable speed: variable speed settings for material-specific control
• Design: compact and lightweight with ergonomic grip

How to use

Fit a compatible 125 mm disc and ensure it is rated for the intended material and speed. Secure the battery and check that speed control is set appropriately for the task. Hold the grinder with both hands for stable control, position the disc at the correct angle to the workpiece, and start at a lower speed to establish the cut or grind before increasing as needed. Apply steady, even pressure without forcing the tool; allow the grinder and disc to do the work. After finishing, switch off the tool and wait for the disc to stop completely before setting the tool down or removing the disc.

Usage recommendations

Use discs and accessories rated for 125 mm and for the speed range of the tool. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment: eye protection, hearing protection, gloves, and respiratory protection when generating dust. Regularly inspect discs for damage and replace worn or cracked discs. Allow the motor to cool during extended continuous use and store batteries in accordance with the battery manufacturer's guidelines.
