Automatic Speed Change technology adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimum performance

The BL Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL Motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life

Efficient BL Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge

The electronically-controlled BL Brushless Motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application

Compact and ergonomic design at only 14-1/4" long

Weighs only 5.5 lbs. with battery (battery not included) for reduced operator fatigue

Rubberized soft grip provides increased comfort on the job

Slide switch with lock-on for operator convenience

3-stage L.E.D. gauge indicates battery charge level

Soft start suppresses start-up reaction for smooth start-ups and longer gear life

Spiral bevel gears for smoother rotations and a more efficient transfer of energy

Anti-restart protection engineered to prevent motor start up when battery is inserted with switch locked on

Efficient internal cooling is engineered for optimum performance

Wire mesh intake covers are engineered to prevent debris from entering motor

Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating

Rapid Optimum Charger communicates with the battery's built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature (battery and charger sold separately)

Rapid Optimum Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster, more efficient charging (battery and charger sold separately)

Makita technology delivers category-leading charge time so the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger (battery and charger sold separately)
