FAQs

What battery voltage does this saw use?

This is an 18V cordless saw. It requires a Metabo 18V battery or a compatible CAS system 18V battery.

Does this mitre saw come with a battery and charger?

No, this is a bare unit and does not include a battery or charger. These must be purchased separately.

What is the maximum cutting width at 90 degrees?

The maximum cutting width at 90 degrees is 30.5 cm (305 mm).

Can I make bevel cuts in both directions?

Yes, the saw blade can be inclined on both sides up to 47 degrees, allowing for bevel cuts in both directions.

How do I adjust the angle stops?

The turntable has integrated stop points for common angles. These can typically be released or adjusted via levers or buttons on the saw's base for quick and precise settings.

What is the benefit of the brushless motor?

A brushless motor offers mains-like performance, higher efficiency, longer motor life, and better power delivery compared to brushed motors.

What is the Precision Cut Line (PCL)?

The PCL is an LED light system that casts a shadow on the workpiece, precisely indicating where the blade will cut without needing any adjustments or calibration.

Troubleshooting

Saw fails to power on

Ensure a fully charged, compatible 18V battery is correctly inserted. Check battery contacts for dirt or damage.

Poor cut quality or excessive burning

Verify the correct saw blade is installed for the material being cut. Ensure the blade is sharp and free from damage. Check for proper dust extraction to prevent buildup on the blade.

Blade wanders during cut

Confirm the workpiece is securely clamped. Check that the saw blade is not warped and is correctly aligned with the fence. Ensure the sliding mechanism moves freely without binding.

LED Precision Cut Line (PCL) is not visible

Ensure the PCL function is activated. Check for obstructions or dirt on the LED emitter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

As a bare unit, the Metabo KGS 18 LTX BL 305 requires a compatible Metabo 18V battery and charger to operate. Ensure the battery is fully charged before use.

Compatibility:

Care:

  • Blade Maintenance: Regularly inspect the saw blade for damage or dullness. Replace as needed for optimal cutting performance.
  • Cleaning: Keep the saw clean by regularly removing dust and debris, especially around the motor housing, sliding rails, and chip collection bag. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for exterior cleaning.
  • Dust Collection: Empty the chip collection bag frequently to maintain airflow and cutting efficiency.
  • Storage: Store the mitre saw in a dry, protected environment when not in use. Ensure the blade guard is engaged and the saw is unplugged (battery removed).
