Compact power for tough jobs: Powerful angle grinder with paddle
Cordless angle grinders
FLEX-Elektrowerkzeuge GmbH is better known for no other tool than for the angle grinder. What began in 1954 with the DL 9 has since then developed into the namesake of an entire genre of tools. With the new LBP 125-15 18-EC, FLEX is now launching yet another battery powerhouse on the market – specially optimised for the needs of industrial customers, shipyards and the offshore industry. A powerful brushless EC motor with soft start, restart and overload protection, anti-kickback system, brake and a protective cover that can be mounted and adjusted without tools make this compact, slim-handled machine the ideal tool for professionals and discerning users.
The new FLEX LBP 125-15 18-EC appeals for its low weight of just 1.9 kg (without battery), practical length of 320 millimeters, particularly slim gripping circumference of only 154 millimetres, and powerful brushless motor.
Powerful angle grinder for industrial applications
The performance and the slim design make this device particularly suitable for cutting and grinding metal in challenging industrial applications. Thanks to the temperature monitoring of the machine and battery plus the integrated constant electronics, a reliable performance is guaranteed even under high loads. The paddle switch with dead man’s function and the brake also contribute to the safety in professional use.
Durable EC motor for maximum efficiency
The brushless EC motor of the LBP 125-15 18-EC is notable for its high efficiency and long service life. This angle grinder achieves its full power if used with an 8 Ah battery, which is roughly equivalent to a 1500-watt corded machine with a brushed motor.
The integrated electronic management system (EMS) protects the machine from overload and temperature fluctuations, extends the service life and ensures consistently high efficiency.
Optimised handling for long work assignments
The cordless angle grinder LBP 125-15 18-EC has been specially developed to meet the requirements of industrial customers. The slim grip area with soft-grip inserts enables precise and comfortable handling. The anti-vibration side handle also minimises fatigue and ensures comfortable use even during challenging tasks over long periods of time.
Innovative functions or safe working
In order to meet the requirements of industrial users, the LBP 125-15 18-EC comes with a wide range of safety features. The microprocessor electronics ensure a soft start, restart lock after a power failure, and protect the motor and battery with the integrated overload protection. The anti-kickback system shuts down the motor as soon as the disc locks. In addition, the electronic brake stops the tool within around three seconds to ensure maximum safety.
Effective protection against dust and dirt
The LBP 125-15 18-EC is fitted with a removable metal grille that protects the device from dust and dirt. A protective cover with a locking mechanism that can be mounted and adjusted without tools and the spindle lock offer a high degree of flexibility and user-friendliness.
First practical experiences
The LBP 125-15 18-EC is a powerful and versatile solution from FLEX that meets the high demands of industry, shipyards and the offshore industry – a veritable power package for professionals!
This is also the conclusion reached by Oguen Anar of the Anar locksmith’s shop and metal manufactory in Steinheim, which has already been testing the LBP 125-15 18-EC in practical use for a number of weeks. “Compared to direct competitors, this new cordless Flex keeps the performance constant for longer and is significantly lighter and more manageable than comparable machines by other renowned manufacturers. Since it is much slimmer, lighter and more manageable than angle grinders from other manufacturers, we would definitely choose the original angle grinder from FLEX again.”
Practicalities & prices
Thanks to the FLEX battery system, the angle grinders can be operated with any 18 V battery pack by FLEX, which ensures a long runtime and maximum flexibility.
