The DeWALT 4.5" 20V MAX XR Paddle Switch Small Angle Grinder Kit is a cordless grinding solution built around a brushless motor, advanced safety electronics, and a high-output 850W motor for demanding cutting, grinding, and surface preparation tasks. Designed for professionals who need reliable cordless angle grinder performance, this kit pairs the grinder with two high-capacity batteries and a charger so you can stay productive on the job site without interruption.

Key Features

• Brushless motor technology - eliminates the need for brush changes, extending motor life and reducing maintenance downtime on the job site.
• Electronic brake stops the wheel in 2 seconds or less on average - reduces the time the disc spins after you release the trigger, improving safety and letting you move to the next task faster.
• Kickback Brake engages maximum braking force when a pinch, stall, or bind-up event is sensed - quickly stops the wheel, reduces grinder movement, and shuts the tool off to protect the user from unexpected kickback incidents.
• E-Switch Protection with no-volt release function - if a power outage or unexpected shutdown occurs, the trigger must be cycled off and then back on to restart, preventing unintended startups that could cause injury.
• Two-stage trigger requires two separate actions to activate the tool - adds an intentional layer of protection against accidental engagement during handling or setup.
• 850W maximum watts out - delivers consistent power for grinding and cutting tasks across a wide range of workpiece materials.
• 4-1/2" wheel diameter with 5/8-11 spindle - a standard, widely compatible grinding wheel size that keeps replacement consumables easy to source.
• Cordless 20V MAX XR platform - frees you from extension cords and power outlets, enabling use in confined spaces, elevated positions, or remote locations.
• E-Clutch / Overload Protection - monitors tool load conditions to help safeguard both the user and the motor during heavy-duty applications.

Why This Product

• The combination of Kickback Brake and E-Switch Protection addresses two of the most common hazard scenarios with angle grinders - unexpected kickback and unintended restart after power loss - making this a strong choice for professionals who prioritize jobsite safety.
• The brushless motor design means no periodic brush replacements, which lowers long-term maintenance costs and keeps the grinder running longer between service intervals compared to brushed motor designs.
• Arriving as a complete kit with two 6.0 AH DCB206 batteries and a DCB115 charger, this package gives you extended runtime and a charging solution right out of the box - no need to purchase accessories separately.
• The cordless 20V MAX XR platform delivers up to 850W of output without a cord, making this angle grinder well suited for fabrication, metal finishing, masonry work, and other trades where mobility matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if the grinder loses power unexpectedly during use?

The E-Switch Protection feature includes a no-volt release function. If a power outage or other unexpected shutdown occurs, the trigger switch must be turned off and then back on again before the tool will restart. This prevents the grinder from starting up unintentionally when power is restored.

How does the Kickback Brake differ from the standard electronic brake?

The standard electronic brake stops the wheel within 2 seconds or less on average whenever the trigger is released. The Kickback Brake is a separate, reactive safety system that automatically engages maximum braking force when a pinch, stall, or bind-up event is detected - it then shuts the grinder off entirely to minimize the risk of injury from sudden kickback movement.

What batteries and charger are included with this kit?

The kit includes two DCB206 6.0 AH batteries and one DCB115 charger, giving you substantial runtime and a dedicated charging solution as part of the package.

Why does this grinder use a brushless motor instead of a brushed motor?

The brushless motor in this grinder eliminates the carbon brushes that wear down over time in traditional brushed motors. This means no brush changes are needed, motor life is extended, and overall maintenance requirements are reduced - keeping the tool working longer with less downtime.
