The Angle Grinder DeWALT DWE4217 is a compact handheld grinding tool equipped with a 12.5 cm (125 mm) grinding disc and a 1200 W motor. Designed for metalworking, construction and refurbishment tasks, the grinder delivers a maximum no-load speed of 11,000 RPM while remaining lightweight at 2.2 kg. Its compact footprint (approx. 125 mm height, 285 mm depth) supports work in tighter spaces and continuous operation where maneuverability matters.

The tool’s high no-load speed enables efficient material removal, and the standardized 125 mm disc size offers wide accessory availability.

How to use

Fit a compatible 125 mm disc according to the task and ensure the disc type matches the material to be worked on. Secure the guard and auxiliary handle before connecting the tool to the power supply. Hold the grinder with both hands, position the disc at the correct angle to the work surface and apply steady, controlled pressure without forcing the tool. Allow the motor to reach full speed before engaging the workpiece and move the grinder smoothly across the surface. After use, switch off the tool and wait until the disc has fully stopped before setting it down or changing accessories.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye and hearing protection, gloves and respiratory protection when grinding. Select the correct disc type—cutting, grinding or abrasive flap disc—for the material and task. Maintain the tool by keeping vents clear of dust, regularly checking the condition of the disc and replacing worn accessories. For extended jobs, allow brief rest periods to avoid overheating and reduce operator fatigue.
