The harder the job, the more important it is to offer best possible protection for the power tool user. Metabo machines for industrial applications meet all relevant regulations in full. Additionally they protect the user from accidents and guard him from dangerous symptoms of fatigue or illness by virtue of innovative, partly patented, safety systems.
Safety for man and machine.
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.
Safety when losing control
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 when losing control
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.
Safety when losing control
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.
Safety when losing control
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.
Safety when losing 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.
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
Safety after loss of control
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.
Safety after loss of control
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.
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.
It is important to protect not only employees on the construction site, but tools as well. Falling tools can cause significant damage, even if they fall from a low height. Tool safety equipment from Metabo guarantees safe work.
New battery packs with fall protection brackets can be fastened easily and securely using the specialized safety connections.
