Sierra Metabo KGS 18 LTX BL 254

The Metabo KGS 18 LTX BL 254 is an 18V cordless mitre saw with a sliding function and single-bevel design. Built for portability, it delivers up to 4000 RPM idle speed and supports mitre cuts of up to 50° left and right. With a 254 mm (25.4 cm) blade and a blade thickness of 3 mm, the saw balances cutting precision and jobsite convenience in a 14.8 kg package.

Advantages

The brushless motor provides efficient power and longer tool life compared with brushed designs, while the cordless 18V platform increases mobility on site. The sliding function expands cutting capacity for wider stock, and the 50° mitre range on both sides allows flexible angle cutting. The compact weight and a 254 mm blade make the unit suitable for accurate crosscuts and compound mitres in different materials.

Suitable for

• Crosscuts and mitre cuts in timber and joinery
• On-site trimming and installation work where portability is required
• Cutting wider boards using the sliding function
• Compound mitre cuts for mouldings and frames

How to use

Secure the saw on a stable surface or stand and fit a suitable 254 mm blade rated for the material you will cut. Insert and secure a compatible 18 V battery before operation. Set the required mitre angle (up to 50° left or right) and, if needed, engage the sliding mechanism to accommodate wider workpieces. Align the material against the fence, check that guards are in place, and make the cut with steady feed while maintaining control. Follow all safety instructions supplied by the manufacturer.

Recommendations

Use blades appropriate for the workpiece material, wear personal protective equipment, and verify battery charge and blade condition before starting. For precise compound mitres, make test cuts on scrap material and adjust stops or fences as necessary.
