Product Information
Full details
The Metabo KGS 18 LTX BL 305 is designed for professional contractors and serious woodworkers who require corded-tool performance in a portable, battery-operated package. Its standout feature is the Precision Cut Line (PCL) LED system, which casts an accurate shadow line for error-free cuts, though it requires a high-capacity 18V Metabo battery system to reach its full runtime potential.

FAQs
Can I use this saw with non-Metabo 18V batteries?
The KGS 18 LTX BL 305 is optimized for the Metabo 18V LiHD system; using batteries from other brands is not recommended and may result in loss of performance or safety features.
Does this saw come with a blade?
Yes, it is designed for use with a 305mm blade; please check your local kit inclusions as contents can vary by region.
How do I maintain the slide rails?
Keep the rails free of debris and lightly wipe them with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid applying heavy lubricants as they can attract dust.
Is this saw suitable for cutting metal?
This tool is primarily designed for wood and wood-based materials. Using the wrong blade or material can damage the motor and void the warranty.
How deep can this saw cut?
The cutting depth and width capacity are determined by the 305mm blade size and the sliding mechanism; refer to the technical specifications in the manual for exact crosscut dimensions.
Troubleshooting
The shadow cut line (PCL) is not visible
Ensure the battery is charged and that the LED light is switched on. Check for sawdust buildup obscuring the LED lens.
Motor stops mid-cut
The overload protection may have triggered. Reduce the feed rate, check that the battery is fully charged, and ensure the blade is sharp.
Inaccurate miter angles
Verify that the turntable is fully locked into the pre-set stop points and clear any debris from the angle locking mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first cut, ensure the saw is placed on a level, stable surface or mounted to a compatible mitre saw stand. The `614305850` model is fully compatible with the Metabo 18V LiHD battery platform.
