Saw Metabo MS 18 LTX 15

The Metabo MS 18 LTX 15 (600856500) cordless pruning saw is a compact battery-powered mini chainsaw designed for cutting back trees, shrubs and preparing cuttings. It delivers a consistently high chain speed under load to maintain fast sawing progress and can be mounted on an MS telescopic handle (accessory) for use as a pole pruner. The tool is part of the CAS 18V battery system and accepts all compatible 18V Li-Power battery packs and chargers.

Advantages

Compact size and low weight with rubberised handle areas ensure simple handling and comfortable grip. The saw provides up to 60 powerful cuts in hard wood with Ø 80 mm on a single 18 V / 2.0 Ah battery charge. Safety features include a guard, grip protection and a safety switch to prevent unintentional starting, while the low kickback chain and reduced vibration support safer, easier cuts. Chain changing and tensioning are simplified via a quick-closure and an integrated tensioning tool stored on the housing.

Suitable for

• Pruning branches and trimming shrubs
• Making cuttings and small-scale wood cutting
• Working at height when combined with a telescopic handle
• Garden maintenance and landscaping tasks

How to use

Charge a compatible 18 V Li-Power battery and insert it into the saw according to Metabo instructions. Hold the saw with both hands using the rubberised grip areas, engage the safety switch and start the chain. Make controlled cuts on branches or shrubs, keeping the guard and grip protection between the user and the chain. For elevated work, attach the MS telescopic handle accessory and follow safe working procedures for pole-mounted tools. Use the quick-closure and the onboard tensioning tool to change or tension the chain as needed, and consult the manufacturer manual for maintenance and chain sharpening intervals.

Recommendations

Use protective equipment (gloves, eye and ear protection) and select the appropriate 18V battery capacity for the intended workload; larger-capacity batteries increase runtime. Regularly check chain tension and condition before use and follow Metabo’s safety and maintenance instructions.
