Angle Grinder Bosch GWS 17-125 PSB PROFESSIONAL

The Bosch GWS 17-125 PSB PROFESSIONAL angle grinder is a heavy-duty handheld tool intended for demanding grinding and cutting tasks. It is powered by a 1700 W motor that delivers a maximum idle speed of 11,500 RPM and accepts a 125 mm (12.5 cm) grinding disc. The tool is designed for continuous use with built-in overload protection and operates from a 220–240 V AC supply. With a compact footprint (approximately 265 mm in length and 107 mm in height) and a net weight of 2.3 kg, the grinder balances power and maneuverability for professional jobsite applications.

Advantages

The high-power 1700 W motor provides consistent torque for cutting and material removal on a wide range of surfaces. The 125 mm disc diameter offers good access for precision work while still allowing efficient removal on larger areas. Overload protection helps prevent motor damage during heavy or prolonged operation. The relatively low weight and compact dimensions improve handling and reduce operator fatigue during extended use. The tool's build and materials are suited for professional environments.

How to use

Prior to operation, fit a compatible 125 mm grinding or cutting disc and secure the guard and side handle. Connect the grinder to a properly rated 220–240 V power outlet. Hold the tool with both hands, positioning the side handle for optimal control. Start the grinder and allow it to reach full speed before engaging the workpiece. Apply steady, even pressure without forcing the disc; allow the tool's power to perform the work. Monitor the tool for signs of overload and let it cool if the overload protection is triggered. After use, switch off and unplug the tool, wait until the disc stops completely, then store in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection, gloves and respiratory protection when required. Select discs rated for 125 mm diameter and suitable for the material and task. Avoid side loads on cutting discs and follow the disc manufacturer's speed and mounting instructions. Regularly inspect the power cord, guard, and attachments for wear or damage and replace parts as needed.
