Uncompromising safety.
Our machines protect users of power tools – no matter how tough the job is. We comply with all relevant specifications to a high degree and protect users from accidents and dangerous symptoms of fatigue or illness.
More than a quarter of all accidents involving power tools are caused by angle grinders. This is according to statistics from the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV, Sept. 2023). When working with machines that are sometimes large and heavy, high forces and constant vibrations come into play. Especially during continuous use, human strength can quickly diminish and loss of control becomes a danger.
We offer solutions: Safety in every situation!
With our unique, innovative, and in some cases patented safety features, we have one of the highest safety standards on the market.
Depending on the model, our corded and cordless angle grinders have various safety features, such as an extremely fast braking system, a mechanical safety clutch, an anti-vibration system, or fall protection. This means we offer our customers angle grinders with user protection tailored to their class, for maximum safety and 365 days of accident-free working.
Prevent accidents
Absolute security against loss of control
Less vibrations - longer application times
The Auto-balancer from Metabo compensates unbalances for cutting and grinding discs. The Metabo VibraTech (MVT) decouples the handle areas and reduces the vibrations additionally
Your benefits:
- 50% less hand-arm vibration
- Low-fatigue working
- Longer application times
Miminal kickback - maximum control
The mechanical safety clutch reduces kickback of a disc that got stuck in the material to the lowest level on the market. For large angle grinders, this task is taken over by the electronic safety shutdown.
Gentle and safe restartSanftes und sicheres Anlaufen
With the controlled and gentle soft start, the machine ramps up smoothly to its maximum speed. The user is protected even after a sudden power interruption, for example in the event of a power cut: The restart protection prevents that the still active machine starts up after power has been restored. The angle grinder must first be switched off and then switched on again.
With special machines, such as our flat head angle grinders, even very specific applications are no problem. Time-consuming additional work or dangerous homemade constructions are now a thing of the past.
In tight or difficult working situations and in changing positions, the multi-position handle that can be adjusted by 180° ensures that the user has everything under control.
Prevent accidents and minimize risks
Maximum safety after loss of control
If control is lost and the dead man's switch is released, the machine switches off immediately and our unique, patented mechanical disc brake brakes the disc in a matter of seconds – even in the event of a power failure. Depending on the model, our angle grinders also have an electronic brake that brings the disc to a halt in a matter of seconds.
Falling tools are a safety risk when working at great heights. With the integrated fall protection, the user can secure the machine using a snap hook. This prevents the machine from falling down after losing control.
Protection from bursting and breaking of discs: The accessories
Quality is the be-all and end-all, even when it comes to safety. Metabo offers the right cutting and grinding discs for any application. The discs are manufactured according to the highest safety standards and exceed international standards and safety requirements. This guarantees highest quality and safety. The particularly smooth running operation thanks to minimal imbalance of the discs also ensures significantly less wear and very long tool life.
