Trimer Metabo FSD 36-18 LTX BL 40

The Metabo FSD 36-18 LTX BL 40 is a cordless brush cutter designed for versatile garden and grounds maintenance. It combines a compact loop handle and a lightweight build (4.3 kg) to allow effective working in tight spaces while offering a 40 cm cutting diameter. The tool accepts a twin-line spool for grass trimming and a blade (accessory) for cutting brushwood, and runs on Metabo 18 V battery packs for 36 V performance when two packs are used.

Advantages

Equipped with a brushless motor, the FSD 36-18 delivers high cutting performance and extended runtime per battery charge. The Metabo quick thread change enables fast, tool-free line replacement without removing the spool. Line readjustment is simple via a short tapping of the spool head during operation. The cutter provides stepless speed control for flexible work, fast startup, rubberised grip areas and an additional safety switch for safer handling, plus a metal gear housing and hoop guard on the battery pack for robustness. An individually adjustable shoulder strap helps maintain a healthy posture and balanced handling. Battery operation ensures quieter, more environmentally friendly use suitable for noise-sensitive areas.

Suitable for

• Grass trimming and lawn edge maintenance with twin-line spool
• Cutting thicker vegetation and brushwood using compatible blades (accessory)
• Working in tight or noise-sensitive areas due to compact handle and battery operation

How to use

Fit a charged Metabo 18 V battery (one for 18 V mode or two for 36 V combined operation) into the battery compartment. Select the cutting tool needed: attach the twin-line spool for grass or install a compatible blade for brushwood, following the accessory instructions. Start the cutter using the safety switch and the trigger, adjusting speed steplessly to match the vegetation. To extend the line while working, tap the spool head briefly on the ground to advance the line. Maintain a firm grip using the rubberised grip areas, and support the tool with the adjustable shoulder strap for balanced handling.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, gloves, long trousers and sturdy footwear). Check that blades or spools are correctly mounted and that batteries are charged. For heavier cutting tasks, use the blade accessory and operate with two 18 V batteries for full 36 V power. Store and maintain the tool according to Metabo instructions to ensure long service life.
