Angle Grinder Metabo WQ 1100-125 12.5 cm 1100 W 12000 RPM

The Metabo WQ 1100-125 angle grinder is a robust and economical power tool designed for a wide range of grinding and cutting tasks. It is equipped with a powerful 1100 W motor with good overload capacity and delivers up to 12,000 RPM. The grinder accepts 125 mm (12.5 cm) discs and weighs approximately 2.2 kg, providing a balance of performance and manoeuvrability. Built-in safety and convenience features include the Metabo M-Quick-System for tool-free, fast disc changes, an adjustable twist-proof guard, restart protection after power interruption, and a gear housing that can be rotated in 90° steps for left-handed operation or cutting.

Advantages

The tool combines a high-power 1100 W motor with a compact 125 mm disc size for efficient material removal while remaining lightweight at about 2.2 kg. Quick and tool-free disc changes via the Metabo M-Quick-System and a tool-free adjustable guard increase productivity. Safety features such as the Metabo S-automatic mechanical safety clutch reduce kick-back risk, and restart protection prevents unintended starts after power cuts. The rotatable gear housing enables comfortable handling for left-handed users and varied cutting positions.

How to use

Fit a compatible 125 mm disc and secure it using the Metabo M-Quick-System for tool-free installation. Adjust the guard to the required position without tools and ensure it is properly seated to prevent twisting. Hold the grinder with both hands, position the disc against the workpiece, and start the tool while maintaining a firm grip. Allow the grinder to reach full speed before applying light, even pressure for grinding or cutting. If the disc jams, the Metabo S-automatic mechanical safety clutch will reduce kick-back; switch the tool off and wait until the disc stops before inspecting. After a power interruption, the restart protection prevents automatic restart; switch on the tool intentionally to continue work.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves and a dust mask). Select discs rated for 125 mm and appropriate for the material and operation. Avoid excessive pressure to prolong motor and disc life, and allow the tool to cool during extended use. Follow Metabo's instructions for disc type, mounting, and maintenance.
