If the grinding wheel catches or binds, the coil spring relaxes and disengages the gears from the motor. As the grinding wheel stops, the gears and motor are protected. Makita's growing line of SJS-equipped grinders includes models ranging from a 1/4" die grinder to a 7-inch angle grinder.About MakitaMakita is a worldwide manufacturer of industrial quality power tools and offers a wide range of industrial accessories.

Most helpful customer reviews0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.100% DISsatisfiedBy katePurchased this to make a stone patio. I am a home do it yourselfer. Researched on the internet on how to and what tools are needed, this was recommended on one site. So I bought it. Our stone arrived a little over a month of receiving the saw. First day the brake on the saw did not work ever. After 5 cuts the motor started to spark and heat up. Contacted Makita customer service, told them the problems. I was advised it was more than 30 days, no warranty, no service. The customer rep then replied "Have a nice day". And hung up. My jaw dropped. Contacted the seller they did help find a repair person in my state. Paid to send it in, still waiting for the return, holding up the job. Glad I did not need this for business work. I will NEVER purchase a Makita product again.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Dependable for tough jobsBy Edward F. RosenfeldI have used this grinder for stone carving.
