Product Description
This Makita 18V LXT brushless hammer driver-drill (XPH12Z, tool only) is a game-changer for drilling, driving, and fastening in wood, metal, and masonry. It comes with a high - performance BL brushless motor that packs a punch with 530 in. lbs. of maximum torque. This motor is electronically controlled, which not only optimizes battery energy use for up to 50% longer run - time per charge but also eliminates carbon brushes, allowing it to run cooler and more efficiently for a longer lifespan. It can adjust torque and RPM according to the task at hand. With a variable 2 - speed design (0 - 500 & 0 - 2,000 RPM; 0 - 7,500 & 0 - 30,000 IPM), it can handle a wide range of applications. Measuring just 7 - 1/8 inches long and weighing only 4.2 lbs. with the battery (battery not included), it reduces operator fatigue. The Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) makes it highly resistant to dust and water in tough job sites. The rubberized soft grip ensures comfort during use, and dual L.E.D. lights brighten up the work area. The all - metal gear housing adds to its durability. Equipped with STAR Protection computer controls, it safeguards against overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. Makita's 18V LXT lithium - ion batteries charge quickly, getting you back to work faster. This tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and compact lithium - ion batteries with STAR Protection.
Using this Makita hammer driver - drill is easy. First, if you're using a battery, make sure it's properly inserted. For different tasks, adjust the speed settings. The low speed (0 - 500 RPM) is great for driving screws, while the high speed (0 - 2,000 RPM) is suitable for drilling holes. When working in dark areas, turn on the L.E.D. lights. Always wear appropriate safety gear like goggles and gloves. Avoid using the tool in wet conditions unless it's necessary, as even with XPT, excessive water can damage it. Don't overload the tool. If it starts to heat up or make strange noises, stop using it immediately. For maintenance, after each use, wipe the tool clean to remove dust and debris. Check the battery regularly for any signs of damage. Keep the tool in a dry and cool place when not in use. If you need to replace any parts, use only genuine Makita parts.
