Angle Grinder Bosch GWS 10,8-76 V-EC

The Bosch GWS 10,8-76 V-EC angle grinder is a compact, battery-powered tool designed for grinding, cutting and surface preparation tasks where maneuverability and portability are priorities. Equipped with a 7.6 cm (76 mm) grinding disc and a brushless motor, the tool delivers a maximum no-load speed of 19,500 RPM while remaining lightweight at approximately 0.9 kg. The 10.8 V Lithium‑Ion battery supply provides cordless convenience and the grinder's measured vibration emission of 13.5 m/s² supports extended use with reduced operator strain.

Advantages

The compact dimensions and low weight enable precise handling in confined spaces and overhead work. A brushless EC motor improves efficiency and reduces maintenance compared with brushed motors, while the high idle speed allows fast material removal and effective cutting. Battery operation removes cable restrictions and facilitates work in locations without mains power. The relatively low vibration emission contributes to better comfort during prolonged tasks.

Suitable for

• Grinding weld seams and deburring metal parts
• Cutting small-diameter pipes and profile sections
• Surface preparation prior to painting or coating
• Detail work and access in tight or overhead areas

How to use

Before use, fit an appropriate 76 mm disc rated for the intended application and check that it is correctly secured. Ensure the battery is charged and inserted according to the manufacturer's instructions. Hold the grinder with a firm two-handed grip where possible, maintain steady control and allow the disc to reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. Use consistent, moderate pressure—do not force the tool—and move the grinder smoothly across the surface. After finishing, switch the tool off and wait for the disc to stop completely before setting it down or changing accessories. Follow all standard safety practices, including eye, hand and respiratory protection.

Usage recommendations

Choose discs and accessories specifically rated for a 76 mm diameter and for battery-powered, high-speed operation. For metal grinding and cutting, use appropriately graded abrasive or thin cutting discs; for surface preparation, select wire brushes or flap discs suitable for the material. To extend battery life and tool longevity, avoid continuous heavy load and allow periodic cooling intervals during prolonged use. Regularly inspect guards, clamping flange and disc for wear or damage and replace components as needed.
