Serra Metabo KGS 18 LTX BL 254

The Metabo KGS 18 LTX BL 254 is a compact cordless crosscut and mitre saw in the mobile M-class designed for precise, mobile job-site cutting. Equipped with a powerful brushless motor, sliding function and large cutting capacity, it delivers cordless sawing performance comparable to mains-powered tools. The saw includes a Precision Cut Line (PCL) LED shadow line, integrated dust scoop, extendable table wings and an ergonomic die-cast aluminium construction for demanding use.

Advantages

The brushless motor provides high torque and long service life with soft start and overload protection. Sliding mechanism and large blade diameter enable wide crosscuts while the turntable with indexed stop points and mitre settings allow fast, precise angle adjustments. The PCL shadow line gives an accurate cut guide without re-adjustment, and effective dust extraction helps maintain a cleaner work area. Lightweight design with ergonomic handles and removable table extensions supports easy transport and handling.

• Crosscutting and mitre cuts in soft and hardwood on site
• Cutting wide workpieces using the sliding function
• Making angled cuts and undercuts with single-bevel mitre adjustments

How to use

Place the saw on a stable surface and extend the table wings as needed for wide workpieces. Secure the workpiece with the quick-action clamp, set the desired mitre and bevel angles using the turntable and bevel adjustment, and align the cut to the Precision Cut Line (PCL) shadow. Start the tool and feed the workpiece steadily into the blade, using the sliding function for wider cuts. Use the depth guide to create grooves where required. After cutting, allow the blade to stop completely before removing the workpiece and perform regular dust removal from the scoop and extraction port.

Recommendations

Use suitable Metabo LiHD batteries (10 Ah recommended for high productivity) and a compatible dust extraction system for cleaner operation. Observe all safety instructions, wear appropriate personal protective equipment and ensure the blade type and condition match the material being cut.
