It's part of Makita's huge 18V Lithium - Ion system, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium - Ion slide - style batteries. Makita's 18V Lithium - Ion batteries charge super fast, so they're working more and sitting on the charger less. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ improve tool performance and extend battery life. It's a communication technology that lets the tool and battery exchange data in real - time and monitor conditions during use to prevent overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. The tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium - Ion batteries with the star symbol indicating Star Protection.

The drill has many other features such as a Makita - built brushless motor with two - speed and variable speed for a wide range of drilling jobs, a lightweight design (only 7.3 lbs. with battery) and a slim barrel to reduce operator fatigue. It can drill up to 200 7/8' holes in 2X SPF with a 5.0Ah battery. The built - in L.E.D. light with pre - glow and afterglow helps you see the work area clearly. It has Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) for better dust and water resistance in tough conditions, an electric brake for high productivity, a soft - start feature for smooth starts, a retractable tool hook, a compact and ergonomic design, an ergonomic handle with a rubberized soft grip, an efficient brushless motor for longer run times, and it's equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™.

Using the Makita XAD06T is easy. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. Then, attach the side handle to the side that's most comfortable for you. You can choose the appropriate drill bit for your job, like a hole saw for larger holes or a self - feed bit for specific wood drilling. When you turn on the drill, use the two - speed transmission to match the speed to your task. The soft - start feature will give you a smooth start. The L.E.D. lights will help you see what you're doing. Remember to always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers. The Star Protection Computer Controls™ are there to protect the tool and battery, but you still need to be careful not to overload, over - discharge, or overheat the tool. After use, clean the drill to remove dust and debris. You can use a soft brush for this. If you're working in harsh conditions, the Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) will help protect the drill from dust and water, but it's still a good idea to dry it off if it gets wet. Store the drill in the provided tool bag when not in use, and keep it in a dry place. This will help keep your drill in good shape and ready for your next project.
