Product Information
Full details
The Metabo SXA 18 LTX 150 BL is a cordless random orbital sander designed for professionals like carpenters, fitters, mechanics, and fabricators who need to smooth and polish wood, metal, and plastic surfaces. Its key benefit is the efficient and controlled material removal on larger areas thanks to its 150mm pad and brushless motor, offering a significant caveat of requiring a compatible 18V Metabo battery and charger not included. This tool features variable speed control, a multi-hole sanding pad for effective dust extraction, and a soft start to protect surfaces.

FAQs
Does the Metabo SXA 18 LTX 150 BL come with a battery and charger?
No, the Metabo SXA 18 LTX 150 BL is sold as a tool-only unit. A compatible Metabo 18V battery and charger must be purchased separately.
What is the oscillation rate of this sander?
The idle oscillation rate ranges from 8000 OPM (minimum) to 20000 OPM (maximum).
How do I connect a vacuum cleaner to this sander?
You can connect an all-purpose vacuum cleaner using the coupling bush (part number 630798000), which is sold separately.
What is the purpose of the removable protector?
The removable protector shields adjacent surfaces from accidental sanding and helps to increase the service life of the sanding pad.
Can I use this sander for fine finishing or only for heavy material removal?
The sander features infinitely variable speed control, allowing you to adjust the speed from 4000 RPM up to 10000 RPM. This versatility makes it suitable for both heavy material removal and finer finishing tasks, depending on the grit of the sanding disc and the speed setting used.

Troubleshooting
Sander does not start.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the battery contacts are clean. Verify the tool's on/off switch is functioning correctly.
Reduced sanding performance or dust extraction.
Check if the dust bag is full and empty it. Ensure the sanding disc is not clogged with debris. Clean the holes on the multi-hole sanding pad. Verify the connection to a vacuum cleaner is secure and the vacuum is functioning.
Excessive vibration.
Ensure the sanding disc is properly attached and balanced. Check the sanding pad for damage. If vibration persists, there may be an internal issue; contact customer support.
Sander stops during operation.
The battery may be depleted; try a fully charged battery. The tool might have overheated; allow it to cool down. Check for any obstructions causing the motor to strain.
