About Makita GA4541R01 115mm Variable Speed Angle Grinder 1100W 240V

The Makita GA4541R01 (477872) is a 115mm corded angle grinder running on 240V mains power with a 1100W motor. It's built for construction and metalworking trades where reliability under pressure matters. Variable speed runs from 2800 to 11000 RPM giving you control across cutting, grinding and polishing tasks.

The motor is brushed but well protected. Makita's Super Joint System (SJS) absorbs shock and vibration to protect the motor and gears from kickback damage this directly extends tool life. Labyrinth construction seals the motor and bearings against dust and debris making it tough enough for harsh site conditions. Speed is fully variable with no fixed settings.

Soft start reduces initial motor load for smoother spin-up and longer motor life. The anti-restart function stops accidental start-up after a power cut. The ergonomic barrel grip keeps fatigue down during long sessions. Tool-less wheel guard adjustment and a spindle lock mean fast disc changes on site. It weighs 2.7 - 3kg and comes with a 4m power cord.

Supplied with cutting and grinding wheels plus a side handle and lock nut wrench. Backed by Makita's manufacturer warranty covering all manufacturing defects for the normal lifetime of the tool. A solid workhorse for trade use.

The Technology Explained

The GA4541R01 runs on 240V mains power with a 1100W motor and variable speed from 2800 to 11000 RPM. That range lets you slow down for polishing or push to full speed for cutting and grinding. The M14 spindle takes standard 115mm discs. Makita's Super Joint System (SJS) sits between the motor and gearbox absorbing shock and reducing vibration this protects internal components and cuts operator fatigue. Labyrinth construction physically seals the motor and bearings from dust. Soft start and anti-restart add control and safety in daily trade use.

Using It Safely

Always fit the correct guard use a grinding guard for grinding discs and a cutting guard for cutting discs. Check every disc is rated for at least 11000 RPM before fitting. Use the side handle at all times for two-handed control. Wear eye protection, gloves and hearing protection. The anti-restart function protects you after a power cut but always switch off before reconnecting power. Let the disc come to a full stop before setting the tool down.
