BOSCH GWS 17-125 S / 17-125 PS Professional Angle Grinder

Product Overview

The Bosch GWS 17-125 S and GWS 17-125 PS are high-performance professional angle grinders. They are engineered for cutting, grinding, and brushing metal and stone, as well as dry drilling in stone using diamond core bits. These tools feature advanced safety systems, including kickback control, restart protection, and soft start functionality to ensure user safety and tool longevity.

Safety Instructions

General Safety: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety goggles, hearing protection, and dust masks. Ensure the work area is clean and well-lit. Never operate the tool in explosive atmospheres.

Operational Safety: Always use the provided auxiliary handle. Ensure the protective guard is correctly positioned to deflect sparks and debris away from the operator. Never use damaged accessories; inspect discs for cracks or chips before every use. Always disconnect the power plug before performing any adjustments or changing accessories.

Operation

Starting and Stopping: The GWS 17-125 S features a slide switch, while the GWS 17-125 PS uses a safety switch mechanism. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power. The tools include speed pre-selection, allowing the user to adjust the rotation speed to match the material and application.

Working Advice: When grinding, maintain an angle of 30 to 40 degrees for optimal results. When cutting, ensure the tool is guided in the opposite direction of rotation to prevent uncontrolled kickback. Always use the appropriate guard for the specific application (e.g., cutting guard for cutting operations).

Maintenance and Care

Regularly clean the ventilation slots to prevent dust accumulation, which can lead to electrical hazards. If the power cord requires replacement, it must be performed by an authorized Bosch service center. Store accessories carefully and inspect the tool regularly for any signs of wear or damage.
