Product Information

Full details

The Bosch GWS 18V-11 is a versatile 18V cordless brushless angle grinder designed for MRO professionals and those performing final onsite installations. It offers 1100W of corded-equivalent power, making it ideal for light-to-medium cutting and grinding tasks, with enhanced overload capacity for demanding industrial jobs like deburring and rust removal. While it provides excellent durability and user comfort through features like an anti-vibration handle, a key consideration is that it is sold as a body-only tool, requiring separate purchase of batteries and a charger.

FAQs

What is included with the Bosch GWS 18V-11?

The package includes the Bosch GWS 18V-11 angle grinder body, a vibration control auxiliary handle, a protective guard, a backing flange, a quick locking nut, and a carton. Batteries and charger are sold separately.

What battery voltage does this grinder use?

This angle grinder is part of the Bosch Professional 18V system and uses 18-volt batteries.

Can I use 125mm discs with this grinder?

No, this model is designed for 115mm (4.5 inch) diameter discs with a 22.23mm bore size. Using incompatible discs can be dangerous and damage the tool.

Does this grinder have an adjustable speed feature?

Yes, the Bosch GWS 18V-11 features adjustable speed, allowing you to set the appropriate RPM for different tasks.

What does 'body only' mean?

'Body only' means that the tool itself is supplied, but the battery and charger are not included. These must be purchased separately if you do not already own compatible Bosch Professional 18V tools and batteries.

How does the Kickback Control feature work?

Kickback Control is a safety feature that detects when the tool is binding or has jammed. It rapidly shuts down the motor to help prevent sudden, violent reactions and protect the user.

Is this grinder suitable for heavy-duty continuous use?

The GWS 18V-11 is designed for light-to-medium cutting and grinding tasks and industrial jobs with optimized overload capacity. For very heavy-duty or continuous industrial applications, other specialized tools might be more suitable.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not start.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted. Check if the safety switch is engaged. Inspect the battery contacts for dirt or damage.

Reduced power or slow operation.

The battery may be low; try a fully charged battery. Check the disc for damage or if it is jammed. Ensure ventilation slots are clear of debris.

Excessive vibration.

Ensure the auxiliary handle is securely attached. Check that the disc is correctly mounted and not warped. Inspect the anti-vibration components for wear.

Overheating during use.

Reduce the load on the tool and allow it to cool down. Ensure ventilation slots are not blocked. Do not force the tool; let the motor work at its intended pace.
