METABO WP 1100-115 (01) PDF Document

The METABO WP 1100-115 angle grinder, when fitted with original Metabo accessories, is suitable for grinding, sanding, separating, and wire brushing metal, concrete, stone, and similar materials without the use of water. Operations such as polishing are not to be performed with this power tool.

Before commissioning your METABO WP 1100-115, check that the rated mains voltage and mains frequency stated on the type plate match your power supply. It is recommended to always install an upstream GFCI with a maximum trip current of 30 mA.

For safety, always work with the additional handle (10) attached to your METABO WP 1100-115. Attach the additional handle on the left or right of the machine and secure it.

To attach the safety guard to your METABO WP 1100-115, follow these steps:

1. Push and hold the lever (18). Place the safety guard (11) in the position indicated.

2. Release the lever and rotate the guard until the lever latches.

3. Push the lever and turn the safety guard until the closed section is facing the operator.

4. Make sure that the guard is attached securely: The lever must engage and you should not be able to turn the safety guard.

Only use accessories that are covered by at least 3.4 mm by the safety guard.

Before any conversion work, pull the mains plug out of the socket. The METABO WP 1100-115 must be switched off and the spindle at a standstill. For safety, attach the cut-off grinding guard before performing cut-off grinding work.

Locking the spindle:

Press in the spindle locking button (4) and turn the spindle (3) by hand until the spindle locking button engages.

Placing the grinding wheel in position:

1. Fit the support flange (2) on the spindle. The flange should not turn on the spindle when properly attached.

2. Place the grinding wheel on the support flange (2). The grinding wheel must lay flat on the supporting flange.

Securing/Releasing the 2-hole nut:

To secure the 2-hole nut (12):

The 2 sides of the two-hole nut are different. Screw the two-hole nut onto the spindle as follows:

• For thin grinding discs: The edge of the 2-hole nut (12) faces upwards so that the thin grinding disc can be attached securely.

• For thick grinding discs: The edge of the two-hole nut (12) faces downwards so that the two-hole nut can be attached securely to the spindle.

Then, lock the spindle. Turn the two-hole nut (12) clockwise using the two-hole spanner (13) to secure.

To release the 2-hole nut:

Lock the spindle. Turn the two-hole nut (12) anticlockwise using the two-hole spanner (13) to unscrew.

Securing/releasing the (tool-free) clamping nut (depending on features):

Only tighten the (tool-free) clamping nut (14) by hand! For the machine to operate, the clip (15) must always lie flat on the clamping nut.

Do not use the clamping nut (tool-free) if the accessory has a clamping shank thicker than 6 mm! In this case, use the 2-hole nut with the 2-hole spanner.

To secure:

1. Lock the spindle.

2. Flip up the clip (15) on the clamping nut.

3. Fit the clamping nut (14) on the spindle (3).

4. Tighten the clamping nut on the clip (15) manually in a clockwise direction.

5. Flip down the clip (15) again.

To release:

1. Lock the spindle.

2. Flip up the clip (15) on the clamping nut.

3. Unscrew the clamping nut (14), turning it anticlockwise manually.

The METABO WP 1100-115 is a machine with a paddle switch (with deadman function).

Switching on: Slide the switch-on lock (9) in the direction of the arrow and press the trigger (8).

Switching off: Release the trigger switch (8).

Important usage notes:

• Always guide the machine with both hands.

• Switch on first, then guide the accessory towards the workpiece.

• Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the tool off when the plug is removed from the mains socket or if there has been a power cut.

• The machine must not be allowed to draw in additional dust and shavings. When switching on and off, keep it away from dust deposits. After switching off the machine, only set it down when the motor has come to a standstill.

Grinding and sanding operations:

Press down the machine evenly on the surface and move it back and forth so that the surface of the workpiece does not become too hot. For rough grinding, position the machine at an angle of 30° – 40° for the best working results.

Cut-off grinding:

Always work against the run of the disc. Otherwise, the machine may kick back from the cut in an out-of-control manner. Guide the machine evenly at a speed suitable for the material being processed. Do not tilt, apply excessive force, or sway from side to side.

Wire brushing:

Press down the machine evenly.

Particles may become deposited inside the power tool during operation, which impairs the cooling of the METABO WP 1100-115. Conductive build-up can impair the protective insulation and create an electrical hazard.

The power tool should be cleaned regularly, often, and thoroughly through all front and rear air vents using a vacuum cleaner or by blowing in dry air. Prior to this operation, separate the power tool from the power source and wear protective glasses and a suitable dust mask. Ensure appropriate suction is available when blowing out vents.

If your METABO WP 1100-115 fails to start, the restart protection may be active. If the mains plug is inserted with the machine switched on or if the power supply is restored following an interruption, the machine will not start up. To resolve this, switch the machine off and then back on again.

Always use the suitable accessory and the prescribed guard for the matching application. The following table provides examples of applications, accessories, and the required guard types.

Guard Types:

Type A: Cutting guard / guard incl. cutting guard slip for cutting-off operations

Type B: Guard for grinding

Type C: Guard for grinding and cutting-off operations (combination)

Type D: Guard for cup wheel

Type E: Extraction guard for surface grinding

Type F: Extraction guard for cutting-off operations

For the METABO WP 1100-115, the appropriate guard part numbers for 115 mm and 125 mm discs are 339209480 and 339209470, respectively.
