Using the Makita XT297T combo kit is easy. First, charge the 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion 5.0Ah batteries using the included charger. It takes about 45 minutes. For the hammer drill, select the appropriate speed (0 - 550 or 0 - 2,100 RPM) depending on your task. Insert the drill bit into the all - metal ½” self - ratcheting chuck and start drilling. When using the impact driver, choose one of the 4 - speed power selections for precise fastening. The Assist Mode can help you avoid common screw problems. In harsh conditions, the Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) on both tools will keep them working well. Just remember to clean the tools after use to keep them in good shape. And when storing, make sure to store the batteries in a cool, dry place. Also, don't overcharge the batteries as the Star Protection Computer Controls™ are there to protect against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating, but it's still good to take care.
