Makita-built brushless motors eliminate carbon brushes and run contact-free, enabling the motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life. The electronically controlled brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and speed to the changing demands of the application.

Active 3 Controls is communications technology that monitors key conditions of the lithium-ion battery during charging. Engineered to help optimise the charging process, so your battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger.
