MAKITA 18V LXT 5″ / 6″ Dual Action Random Orbit Polisher (Tool Only)

Makita polishers are preferred by automotive detailers and marine enthusiasts, and the 18V LXT Brushless Cordless 5″ / 6″ Dual Action Random Orbit Polisher, Tool Only (XOP02Z) is packed with enhanced features for consistent performance, job after job. The dual action control offers random orbit with forced rotation or random orbit with free rotation, and the variable speed control dial has five speed settings so users are able to set the speed and action to the application. The cordless design eliminates the hassle of cord management and accidental marring of delicate surfaces.

Additional performance features include an electronic controller that automatically applies additional power to maintain constant speed, even under load, and also provides soft start for smoother start-ups and longer gear life. It is ideal for commercial-duty polishing applications. The BL Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life.

Its part of Makitas expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the worlds largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
