Product Information

Full details

The Bosch GWS 18V-11 18v Cordless Brushless Angle Grinder is designed for professionals undertaking light-to-medium cutting and grinding tasks, particularly in Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) and final onsite installations. Its key benefit is delivering 1100W of corded-equivalent power with enhanced overload capacity, ensuring efficient performance for tasks like deburring, rust removal, and repairs. A significant caveat is that this model is sold without batteries or a charger, requiring separate purchase if you don't already own compatible Bosch Professional 18V tools. It features a brushless motor for longevity and power, a balanced design for versatility, and a comprehensive suite of safety features.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the brushless motor?

The brushless motor offers increased durability, longer runtime per battery charge, and more consistent power output compared to traditional brushed motors.

Does this angle grinder come with batteries and a charger?

No, this model is sold as a bare tool and requires compatible Bosch Professional 18V batteries and a charger, which must be purchased separately.

What size grinding discs does it use?

The grinder uses 125mm (approx. 5-inch) diameter grinding discs with an M14 spindle thread.

What does 'Kickback Control' do?

Kickback Control is a safety feature designed to immediately shut off the motor if the tool suddenly binds or jams, reducing the risk of the user being injured by the tool's sudden reaction.

Is this tool suitable for heavy-duty industrial cutting?

The GWS 18V-11 is designed for light-to-medium cutting and grinding tasks. For continuous heavy-duty industrial applications, a more specialized or higher-duty model might be required.

How can I reduce user fatigue during long work sessions?

The tool features an anti-vibration handle and a slimmer, longer grip designed to enhance comfort and reduce fatigue during prolonged use.

What is the weight of the grinder?

The approximate weight of the grinder itself (without battery) is 1.7 kg.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not start.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the spindle lock is engaged, preventing operation. Verify that the restart protection feature has not been tripped.

Reduced power or slow operation.

Check the battery charge level. Ensure the disc is not binding or damaged. Clean any dust buildup from the motor vents.

Excessive vibration.

Ensure the auxiliary handle is securely attached. Check that the grinding disc is correctly mounted and balanced. Inspect the disc for any damage or warping.

Kickback occurs frequently.

Ensure you are using the correct disc for the material and task. Do not apply excessive pressure. Be aware of the workpiece and potential binding points. Utilize the Kickback Control feature and maintain a firm grip.
