Angle Grinder Metabo W 11-125 Quick

The Metabo W 11-125 Quick angle grinder combines a compact form factor with a high-performance 1100 W motor and a 125 mm grinding disc diameter. Designed for both professional and DIY tasks, this grinder delivers up to 11,000 RPM for efficient material removal and finishing. At 2.3 kg and finished in Metabo green, the tool emphasizes ergonomic handling with a small handle circumference and adjustable guard for controlled operation. The AC-powered unit incorporates Metabo-specific systems for fast disc changes and increased motor protection to support prolonged use.

Advantages

The grinder features a Marathon motor with patented dust protection that increases overload capacity and torque, improving durability and cutting performance. The Metabo M-Quick system enables tool-free, fast disc changes at the touch of a button, reducing downtime between tasks. Safety is enhanced by the S-automatic mechanical safety clutch to minimise kick-back, restart protection after power interruption, and auto-stop carbon brushes to protect the motor. The gear housing can be rotated in 90° steps for left-handed operation or cutting, and the guard is tool-free adjustable and twist-proof for reliable positioning.

How to use

Before use, select and fit a disc suitable for the material and task, ensuring the disc is rated for the grinder’s maximum speed. Use the Metabo M-Quick button to change discs without tools, and adjust the guard to the required position. Hold the grinder with a firm two-hand grip using the main handle and the auxiliary handle where required. Start the tool and allow it to reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. Use steady, even pressure and avoid forcing the disc; let the grinder and abrasive do the work. If the disc binds, release the trigger and allow the grinder to stop; the S-automatic clutch reduces kick-back. After finishing, switch off and unplug the tool, wait for the disc to stop completely before setting the tool down, and store it in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment: safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves and dust mask. Match discs to the task (grinding, cutting, or finishing) and their maximum speed rating. Maintain carbon brushes and check the guard, handle and auxiliary handle condition regularly. Allow the Marathon motor’s dust protection to perform as intended by avoiding excessive dust build-up and performing periodic inspections. For prolonged cutting or heavy load work, use appropriate disc types and let the grinder cool intermittently to extend motor life.
