Advantages

The WQ 1100-125 combines a robust motor with good overload capacity and safety features oriented to professional use. It offers the Metabo M-Quick-System for tool-free, fast disc changes and a tool-free adjustable guard that resists twisting. The integrated S-automatic mechanical safety clutch reduces kick-back risk if the disc jams, and restart protection prevents unintentional restarts after power interruptions. The gear housing can be unscrewed and rotated in 90° steps for left-handed operation or different cutting positions.

Suitable for

• Cutting metal pipes, profiles and rebar
• Grinding weld seams and removing rust or paint
• Surface preparation before painting or coating
• Light-to-medium material removal on construction and workshop tasks

How to use

Fit the correct 125 mm disc and secure it using the Metabo M-Quick-System following the tool manufacturer’s instructions. Adjust the protective guard to shield the operator and the workpiece; the guard is tool-free and twist-proof. Hold the grinder firmly with both hands, align the disc with the work surface and start the tool while maintaining a steady feed. Allow the grinder to reach full speed before engaging the material and avoid excessive pressure; let the disc do the cutting or grinding. If the disc binds, the S-automatic mechanical safety clutch reduces kick-back; switch off the tool and wait until it stops completely before repositioning.

Usage recommendations

Use safety equipment such as eye protection, hearing protection and protective gloves. Select the appropriate disc type and grit for the material and task. Ensure the mains supply and extension cables are rated for the tool’s input power. For sustained heavy-duty use allow periodic breaks to avoid motor overload and follow Metabo service intervals for inspection and maintenance.
