Angle Grinder Makita GA5041C01

The Makita GA5041C01 angle grinder is a compact, corded tool designed for a range of metal and masonry grinding tasks. It features a 1400 W motor that delivers sufficient power for cutting, grinding and surface preparation. With a maximum no-load speed of 11,000 RPM and a 125 mm grinding disc capacity, this model balances high rotational speed with a manageable disc size for precision work. The tool’s spindle uses an M14 thread and the grinder weighs approximately 2.7 kg, making it suitable for extended use with reduced operator fatigue. The black and turquoise housing reflects Makita’s recognizable design while offering durable construction for jobsite environments.

Advantages

The 1400 W motor provides consistent torque for demanding tasks while the 11,000 RPM no-load speed enables efficient material removal and clean cuts. The 125 mm disc diameter allows access to tighter spaces than larger grinders and contributes to improved control. At around 2.7 kg, the unit is relatively lightweight for its class, which helps reduce user fatigue during prolonged operation. The M14 spindle thread ensures compatibility with a wide range of standard discs and accessories. The corded AC design offers continuous power for uninterrupted work sessions.

Suitable for

• Grinding and smoothing metal welds and edges
• Cutting metal pipes, bars and sheet metal
• Removing rust and old paint from metal surfaces
• Masonry surface preparation and light concrete grinding
• Sharpening and shaping tools and blades

How to use

Inspect the grinder and selected disc before each use to ensure they are in good condition and appropriate for the material and task. Fit the 125 mm disc onto the M14 spindle and secure it according to the tool’s instructions. Hold the grinder with both hands, maintain a firm grip, and start the tool at a safe distance from the workpiece to ensure stable handling. Use steady, controlled passes across the surface and allow the motor’s power and the abrasive disc to do the work—avoid excessive pressure which can shorten disc life and increase wear. After finishing, switch off the tool and wait for the disc to stop completely before setting the grinder down. Disconnect from the mains before changing accessories or performing maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection and gloves. Select discs rated for 125 mm diameter and M14 mounting, and choose the correct abrasive type for the material (cutting, grinding, or flap discs for metal; diamond or masonry discs for concrete). Maintain proper ventilation or dust extraction when working with materials that produce hazardous dust. Follow the manufacturer’s guidance for duty cycle and regular inspection of brushes, power cord and guard condition.
