More safety and protection on building sites
Work on building sites can be dangerous. Tools not only need to be powerful and hardy, but must offer optimal protection, too. The latest innovative Bosch angle grinders have 5 important protective functions that ensure that these tools react extremely quickly when hazards arise, making work on building sites safer.

Innovative power tools need intelligent protective functions. Bosch is setting new standards for angle grinders – not just in terms of performance and comfort, but also as regards safety. No other manufacturer meets health and safety standards better.

The KickBack Stop function

KickBack Stop reduces the danger of the angle grinder kicking back. Intelligent microprocessor electronics detect locking discs – like ABS – and react within fractions of a second to shut down the motor. This means you can keep the machine under control even in difficult conditions and are protected far better against injury.

Restarting lock

Power failures can always occur on building sites. Plugs can be pulled and fuses can blow. The restarting lock in Bosch angle grinders prevents the machine from restarting automatically after a power failure. The machine must be switched on again to continue the job, which prevents any unwanted activation.

Non-skew protective case

To prevent injury from flying parts, Bosch offers angle grinders with non-skew protective casing. Even if parts of the workpiece fall off, they will not be dangerous to you, since the case latches automatically, and can easily be adjusted or removed without needing tools.

Vibration Control

The Vibration Control system developed by Bosch is the world's first system that reduces vibrations by up to 80% through double Vibration Control. Vibration Control not only reduces strain while working.  It also permits longer operating periods in compliance with the new health and safety standards. Fewer vibrations make work more comfortable by reducing the stress on joints.

Brake

The Bosch angle grinder brake slows from 250 km/h to 0 km/h in 2.5 seconds. Compared to a device without brakes, that reduces the run-down time by 85 percent. This gives you significantly improved protection, especially in tight working areas or areas with limited placement space, since you can put down the grinder faster.
