Sheet metal cutting shears 18V XR DCS491N-XJ

Professional sheet metal cutting shears – precision and mobility in your hands

These DeWalt DCS491N-XJ cordless sheet metal shears are an indispensable tool for anyone who regularly works with metal. Designed with comfort and efficiency in mind, they will be useful both on construction sites and in the workshop. The compact design and cordless operation provide great freedom of maneuverability, and the rotating head increases the range of applications. This is an ideal solution for roofers, sheet metal workers, but also for people involved in renovation and assembly work.

Construction features and performance

The DCS491N-XJ shears are powered by an 18V Li-Ion battery (battery and charger available separately), which ensures long-lasting operation without the need to connect to the mains. The cutting speed is up to 2450 cuts per minute, allowing for quick and efficient cutting of the material. The device can handle sheets up to 1.3 mm thick (mild steel) and 1.0 mm (stainless steel). The rotating head (360 degrees) with 12 locking positions allows cutting at different angles, increasing the versatility of the tool. The ergonomic D-shaped handle with a rubberized coating provides comfortable operation even during prolonged use. Additionally, an LED diode illuminates the work area, improving visibility in difficult lighting conditions.

Safety and ergonomics

Safety is key – the shears are equipped with a safety lock to prevent accidental start-up. The variable speed switch allows for precise control over the cutting process, adapting it to the type of material and the required precision. The low weight of the device (1.8 kg) minimizes operator fatigue during work. The set includes three different types of blades (side no. 46, middle no. 42 and side no. 38) and sleeve no. 37, allowing you to adapt the tool to specific needs.

In short, technical information: power supply voltage 18V, Li-Ion battery, speed up to 2450 cuts per minute, maximum cutting thickness of mild steel 1.3 mm, maximum cutting thickness of stainless steel 1.0 mm, device weight 1.8 kg, rotating head enabling work at various angles (360°), LED diode improving visibility of the work area.

Please remember that a compatible 18V XR DeWalt series battery and charger are required for the shears to operate correctly – available separately.
