Makita XFD03Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2 Driver-Drill (Tool Only)

Using your Makita XFD03Z driver-drill is straightforward. First, if you haven't already, insert a compatible Makita 18V Lithium - Ion battery with a Star symbol (sold separately) into the tool. You can then choose between the two speeds on the mechanical transmission depending on your task. For light - duty jobs, use the lower speed (0 - 400 RPM), and for more heavy - duty tasks, switch to the higher speed (0 - 2,000 RPM). The 21 clutch settings let you adjust the torque for different fastening needs. When drilling or fastening, hold the tool firmly by the rubberized soft - grip handle. The dual L.E.D. lights will illuminate your work area, and they have an afterglow feature for better visibility. Be sure to select the right bit and insert it into the all - metal ratcheting chuck to prevent slippage. As for maintenance, keep the tool clean, especially after using it in dusty or wet conditions. Thanks to the Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), it can handle some harsh environments, but it's still a good idea to wipe it down. Don't forget to use the Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately) to charge your battery. This charger has a built - in fan to cool the battery and optimize its life. Remember, the tool has Star Protection Computer Controls™ to protect against overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. If you encounter any issues, refer to the 3 - year limited warranty for support.
