Metabo 602265620 Corded Angle Grinder 6 Inch M14 8.5A

Product Description

The METABO 602265620 is a heavy-duty corded angle grinder built for demanding grinding, cutting, and surface-preparation work in trade and industrial settings. It accepts 6-inch wheels on an M14 spindle and delivers variable speed from 900 to 3,800 RPM, allowing users to match wheel speed to the material and application. The 8.5-amp motor provides consistent power across the speed range. Key protective features include electronic soft start, overload protection, restart protection, and auto-stop carbon brushes that shut the motor down before brushes cause internal damage. A long-life motor with patented dust protection and a low-maintenance belt drive reduce service intervals in high-debris environments.

This grinder is suited for metalworking, fabrication, weld cleanup, masonry surface work, and similar trade applications where a 6-inch wheel and controlled variable speed are required. The belt drive and double reduction gearing make it appropriate for sustained use in professional shop or field conditions. At 6 pounds, it is manageable for extended overhead or positional work. Licensed tradespeople in metal fabrication, pipefitting, ironworking, and general mechanical trades are the primary installers and operators of this tool.

Installation Notes

Always disconnect the grinder from power before changing wheels or adjusting the guard. Confirm the wheel is rated for the maximum no-load RPM of the tool before use, per ANSI B7.1 and tool manufacturer guidelines. Wear appropriate PPE including a face shield, gloves, and hearing protection during operation. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and do not operate with a damaged or incorrect wheel.
