It's a compact and well-balanced tool for cutting and grinding tasks.

It comes supplied in a Makpac Type 4 case for storage and transport. The Makita manufacturer's warranty covers all manufacturing defects for the normal lifetime of the tool. If you need a capable 40V cordless grinder that's built to last, the GA050G delivers.

The GA050G runs on Makita's XGT 40V Max platform, which delivers higher voltage than standard 18V systems for more power on demanding tasks. The brushless motor has no carbon brushes to wear out, so it runs cooler, lasts longer and needs no maintenance. The 125mm disc size suits a wide range of cutting and grinding work. Electronic overload protection monitors the motor under load and the kickback brake reacts instantly if the disc snags. The anti-restart function stops the tool starting up unexpectedly after a power cut or battery swap.

Always fit the correct guard use a grinding guard for grinding discs and a cutting guard for cutting discs. Check every disc is rated above this tool's no load speed before fitting. Use the side handle at all times for two-handed control. Wear eye protection, gloves and hearing protection. The GA050G has a kickback brake and anti-restart function built in but these don't replace good technique. Let the disc come to a full stop before setting the tool down.
