## Summary

The GA038G is a 230 mm brushless XGT angle grinder with 73 mm depth of cut and a dead-man paddle switch. Makita rates it against 1,000 W corded grinders, with AFT, an electric brake and AWS extractor start.

## Why this one

- **73 mm cutting depth**: 230 mm disc at 6,600 rpm.
- **Kickback control**: AFT cuts the motor if the disc jams.
- **Dead-man paddle**: No lock-on switch; stops when released.
- **AWS extraction**: Automatically starts a paired extractor.

## The story

### Large-disc work

Builders, landscapers and fabricators use a 9" grinder for cutting paving, blocks, kerbs and heavy steel sections. The GA038G cuts 73 mm deep at 6,600 rpm and is designed for continuous heavy use in industrial and site work, where a cordless 230 mm grinder removes the need for a generator or long leads.

### Safety and durability

AFT stops the motor if the disc jams, which matters with a large disc and high torque. A dead-man paddle switch without lock-on, soft start, anti-restart and an electric brake add to operator safety. XPT sealing protects it from dust and water on outdoor jobs.

### Dust control and system

With a cutting guard and extractor, AWS starts the vacuum automatically, which helps with silica dust control on masonry cutting. The UK GA038GZ07 includes the WUT01 adapter, a 230 mm wheel guard and an anti-vibration side handle. Runs on all XGT batteries.
