Jigsaw Metabo STA 18 LTX 100

The Metabo STA 18 LTX 100 is a battery-powered jigsaw designed for mobile and versatile cutting tasks. Weighing approximately 2.6 kg and powered by an 18 V battery, this compact tool delivers a cutting depth up to 100 mm in wood and up to 10 mm in non-alloyed steel. Its dimensions (180 mm width, 76 mm depth) and ergonomic top handle with a non-slip soft-grip surface make it suitable for controlled, single-hand or two-hand operation on job sites and in workshops.

Advantages

Variable stroke rate combined with pendulum stroke and a low-lying saw blade guide with spring support ensures precise, material-matched sawing and smooth feed. The Metabo “Quick” tool-free blade change system allows fast blade replacement with automatic ejection. The footplate supports simple bevel cuts and can be adjusted to rest points without tools. A selectable blower function clears chips from the cutting line and a battery capacity display provides quick status checks. Ultra-M battery technology provides higher performance, gentle charging and an extended warranty on the battery pack.

How to use

Fit a suitable jigsaw blade using the Metabo “Quick” system until it locks and the automatic ejection confirms proper mounting. Select the stroke rate and pendulum setting appropriate for the material: lower stroke rates and no pendulum for metals, higher stroke rates and pendulum for faster wood cutting. Adjust the footplate angle for bevel cuts and use the blower function to keep the cutting line visible. Monitor the battery capacity display and replace or recharge battery packs as needed to maintain consistent performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use blades matched to the material and thickness being cut, engage pendulum stroke for aggressive wood cuts and disable it for fine or metal cuts, and secure workpieces to prevent movement. Allow batteries to cool before charging and follow battery manufacturer guidelines to preserve battery life.
