Uncompromising safety.

The harder the job, the more important it is to offer the best possible protection for the power tool user. Metabo machines for industrial applications meet all relevant regulations in full. They also protect the user from accidents and guard against dangerous symptoms of fatigue or illness with innovative, safety systems, many of them patented.

Safety for man and machine.

SAFE with Metabo angle grinders

The angle grinders from Metabo are leading in terms of safety: from compact 900 watt to powerful 2,600 watt machines, Metabo offers safety angle grinders for any application.
With safety functions such as an extremely effective braking system, a mechanical safety clutch and an anti-vibration system, Metabo supports you 365 days a year to work without accidents.

Anti-vibration system

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

Safety clutch

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.

Restart protection

Gentle and safe restart

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.

Multi-position handle

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.

Special-purpose machines

Special applications require particular machines:

- working overhead: the three kilo WEPBA 19-180 RT is ideal.

- Working in confined spaces: A flat-head angle grinder. Time-consuming applications with wire brushes of makeshift constructions are a thing of the past.

The risk when working with angle grinders

Almost a fourth of all accidents with power tools were caused by angle grinders
This has been confirmed by a statistical breakdown of the "Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung (DGUV)", the German Statutory Accident Insurance. Basically, it is no surprise, since when working with these large and heavy machines high forces and permanent vibrations are present. Especially during continuous operation every user will get fatigued sooner or later. If he then loses control over the machine, things can get dangerous.

Metabo offers a solution: Safety in any situation.

Brake

In an emergency the disc stops within a matter of seconds

In case of loss of control, the integrated deadman switch immediately switches off the machine, if the user releases the switch. The mechanical disc brake brakes the disc after switching off within a matter of seconds - also when the power is interrupted.

Fall protection

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.

On the construction site, not only the worker must be secured, but also the tool. Even from low heights, the falling tools can cause significant damage. The Metabo tool safety equipment guarantees safe working.
The new battery packs with fall protection bar can easily and safely fastened with the special safety connections.
