Using the Makita XFD13SM1 is easy. First, make sure you insert the 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion 4.0Ah Battery correctly into the drill. You can choose between the two speed settings (0 - 500 & 0 - 1,900 RPM) according to your task. For big fasteners, you might want a lower speed, and for smaller screws, a higher speed could be better. Adjust the torque settings in driver mode to suit the job. When you start drilling or driving, the dual L.E.D. lights will illuminate the work area. Remember to only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to keep the tool running well. Also, the Star Protection Computer Controls™ are there to protect the tool and battery from overloading, over - discharging, and overheating, but don't push the tool too hard. For maintenance, after each use, wipe down the drill to remove dust and debris. If you're working in a very dusty or wet environment, the Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) helps, but still, try to keep the tool as clean as possible. Store the tool in the provided tool bag when not in use. And don't forget, the tool, battery, and charger all come with a 3 - year limited warranty.
