The Bosch GWS 22-180 J angle grinder is a high-power tool designed for heavy-duty grinding and cutting tasks. Equipped to run an 180 mm (18 cm) grinding disc at up to 8,500 rpm and driven by a 2,200 W motor, it delivers sustained performance on metal, concrete and masonry surfaces. The tool weighs 5.3 kg and has a compact body that supports easy handling, storage and transport while meeting demands typical for professional workshops and construction sites.

Advantages

The powerful 2,200 W motor provides high material removal rates and steady performance under load. The 180 mm disc diameter allows for effective coverage and faster job completion compared with smaller grinders. A maximum no-load speed of 8,500 rpm supports efficient cutting and grinding operations, while the machine’s overall design balances robustness with manageable weight. The rated sound power level of 93 dB aligns the tool for professional applications where clear performance metrics are required.

How to use

Prior to operation, fit a compatible 180 mm grinding or cutting disc rated for the grinder’s maximum speed and secure it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and ear protection, gloves and respiratory protection when required. Hold the grinder with both hands, maintain a firm stance and allow the tool to reach full speed before applying it to the workpiece. Use steady, controlled movements and avoid excessive side pressure on the disc. Follow cooling and rest intervals during prolonged use to prevent overheating.

Recommendations

For safety and long tool life, use discs and accessories that match the 180 mm diameter and the grinder’s speed rating; inspect discs for damage before each use and replace worn components. Regularly check the power cord and switch function, and follow scheduled maintenance such as cleaning ventilation slits and replacing brushes according to the service intervals specified by the manufacturer.
