ANGLE GRINDERS

Work safely
The hardwearing Metabo disc brake brings the grinding disc to a stop
within three seconds of switching off the angle grinder.
An important advantage for protecting the user (WB 11-125 Quick
and WB 11-150 Quick only).
Optimum cooling
An improved sonically balanced fan coupled
with better venting and more efficient internal
ducting channels have resulted in a 10-15%
increase* in air flow over the motor. As a
result, these new grinders can work harder
for longer; performance and durability are
increased. (* dependant on model)
Ergonomic design
The ergonomic housing de-
sign and its pronounced ne-
cking provides a secure grip
for every application.
Metabo S-automatic
torque limiting clutch
Prevents sudden reverse kick back if a
disc or bit should jam in the work piece
- protecting machine and user.
Metabo „Quick“ System
Simple, fast disc
exchange without tools.
Thumbwheel for speed selection*
In order to provide greater flexibly
for different applications, the speed
can be changed to accommodate
the material being machined.
(* dependant on model)
Disc guard with
adjustment option
without tools
Protection against sparks.
Can be adjusted individual-
ly, easily and quickly for all
types of jobs.
Die cast aluminium
gear housing
Metal gear housings
ensure optimum integral
machine strength and
maximum heat dissipa-
tion which aids motor
cooling and
prolongs service life.
Marathon motor with coil guard
Expertly machined and balanced motors use high grade coppers
and steels, increase efficiency and provide optimum performance. Thick
resin coatings on the armature and field coil protect the motor from harmful
debris, increasing service life. The large fan ensures optimal cooling for
maximum efficiency, allowing for increased
torque capability.
Encapsulated
switch
It eliminates
electrical spark-
overs caused
by
the accu-
mulation of
metallic dust.
ANGLE GRINDERS
TIME TO GET TOUGH.
Grinders have to work in the most extreme environ-
ments of any powertool. Motors have to cope with high
loading, extreme heat and in many cases burning hot
swarf and carbon particles for long periods of time. This
is why Metabo have developed their infamous Marathon
motor with special resin coatings and armature protec-
tion grids. Coupled with sonically balanced high volume
flow rate fans, safety clutches and high quality accesso-
ries users can enjoy up to five times longer life than that
of a standard motor. Metabo – No Compromise.

a wide range from compact, to medium through to top class. With
Metabo it is possible to get exactly the right machine for the job, no
comprise, only the best: Metabo. Work. Don’t play.
