A compact carbon brushless angle grinder suitable for demanding professional use with a 125mm disc diameter. The machine has standard electronics, a fast disc brake that increases safety, and an AVT vibration-damped side handle. The machine is equipped with a bottom safety switch. Just a machine without battery and charger.
Makita's battery-powered angle grinder DGA508 is a very powerful tool for professionals, which achieves almost the power of a corded machine. The most common disc size used in small angle grinders is 125mm. The machine is equipped with a carbon brushless motor, the advantages of which are not only high power and lower power consumption, but also small size and long life.
The angle grinder has an automatic speed control, which sets the speed correctly according to the working situation. When the machine is heavily loaded, the rpm drops to a level that the electronic unit can keep stable under load. In an overload situation, the device is stopped. The LED light on the machine lights up green when the automatic speed control has been activated for high load. The red LED light indicates an overload situation when the device is stopped and the machine needs to be restarted.
The machine's removable dust shields prevent harmful dust generated during cutting and grinding from being carried inside the machine along with the cooling air, and they should be cleaned regularly to maximize the air flow. Soft start and restart protection increase safety in use. The soft start eliminates dangerous spinning of the machine in the user's hand when starting the machine. The restart protection is activated in a situation where the operating switch has been left in the on position and the empty battery has been replaced with a new one - the machine will only start when the operating switch is released and restarted.
