It takes a 180mm wheel and runs from 0 to 2,200 rpm, which puts it in the same working class as a corded professional rotary rather than a hobby machine. The 40V platform is what makes that possible on a battery. This is a production tool for panel shops, marine and paint correction work, not something to buy for the occasional weekend polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy people choose the PV001GZ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull rotary speed on a battery.\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 to 2,200 rpm with constant speed control that holds the speed as the pad loads against the panel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e180mm capacity.\u003c\/strong\u003e Covers ground faster than a 150mm machine on bonnets, roofs, boat hulls and truck panels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft start and anti restart.\u003c\/strong\u003e It winds up gently instead of snatching, and it will not fire up on its own if a battery is fitted with the switch left on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLock on with a trigger lock.\u003c\/strong\u003e Hold it running for long passes, with a safety catch so it is not switched on by accident.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrushless, with a dust cover.\u003c\/strong\u003e No brushes to replace, and the motor is protected from polish dust and compound spray.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBattery compatibility, please read this\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMakita runs two separate cordless systems in South Africa. 18V LXT is the common one, the slide-on battery used on most Makita cordless drills, grinders and blowers. 40V max XGT is a different, higher voltage system with a physically different battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis polisher is XGT. An 18V LXT battery will not fit it and no adapter makes it fit. To run this tool you need an XGT battery such as a BL4040, and an XGT charger such as the DC40RA. Neither is included, and both are a meaningful additional cost. If you do not already own XGT equipment and are not planning to build into the platform, the 18V DPO600Z is the more sensible buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing before you buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo battery, no charger.\u003c\/strong\u003e And XGT batteries and chargers are more expensive than 18V ones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo backing pad or polishing bonnet.\u003c\/strong\u003e The pads shown in the photographs are not included.
