Metabo MFE40 wall chaser (604040500)

What does the Metabo MFE40 wall chaser offer?

The Metabo MFE40 wall chaser (604040500) is a specialised tool for cutting chases for cables and pipes in masonry. It creates even, straight channels and saves time on electrical and plumbing installations.

You set the width and depth of the chase in a single step. This gives you repeatable results and reduces follow-up work with hammer and chisel.

Benefits when working with the wall chaser

The MFE40 is designed for continuous use on construction sites and makes work easier compared with cutting using an angle grinder.

• Straight and clean chases for cable ducts and pipe runs
• Single adjustment of chase width and depth
• Far fewer broken edges than with hammer and chisel
• Low-dust work when connected to a suitable vacuum extractor
• Less strain on hands and arms thanks to guided cutting

This way you work not only faster but also with more control. The result is professional-looking installation channels.

Who is the Metabo MFE40 suitable for?

The wall chaser is aimed at trade professionals but is also interesting for advanced DIY users.

• Electricians for chases for cables and empty conduits
• Plumbers and heating engineers for water and heating pipes
• Drywall installers and renovators on refurbishments and conversions
• DIY users who regularly cut chases in masonry

The MFE40 is suitable in particular for brick, aerated concrete, sand-lime brick and similar masonry. For reinforced concrete, follow the manufacturer’s information on suitability and on the correct cutting disc.

Functions and adjustment options

The Metabo MFE40 wall chaser offers several settings so you can adapt the tool to the task.

Adjustable chase width

You adjust the chase width by changing the distance between the cutting discs. This lets you match the channel to cable bundles or pipe diameters.

Adjustable cutting depth

You set the cutting depth using a depth adjustment. This allows you to cut only as deep as needed for the cable or pipe, which protects the wall and the material.

Dust extraction connection

A connection for a construction or industrial vacuum cleaner greatly reduces dust. This improves visibility, protects the respiratory system and lowers cleaning effort on site.

What should you consider when using it?

To achieve safe and clean results, you should follow a few basic points.

• Use only suitable diamond cutting discs with the correct diameter
• Check the wall for existing services before cutting to avoid damage
• Wear safety glasses, hearing protection and a dust mask
• Check the secure fit of the discs before every use
• Guide the tool smoothly without tilting to keep edges clean

Always follow the Metabo operating manual. This helps extend the service life of the tool and increases safety while working.
