Using the Makita XT288T combo kit is easy. First, charge the 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion 5.0Ah batteries using the Rapid Optimum Charger. It takes about 45 minutes or less to fully charge. Once charged, insert the battery into the tool you want to use. For the Hammer Driver - Drill, select the appropriate speed depending on the material you're working on. The 0 - 550 RPM is good for more precise work, while 0 - 2,100 RPM is great for faster drilling. When using the Impact Driver, you can choose from four speed settings to match the task. Use the Quick - Shift Mode™ for better control and the Tightening Mode (T - mode) when you want to avoid damaging the screws. Remember, this kit is designed for use in various materials like wood, metal, and masonry. But don't expose the tools to extremely wet or dusty conditions for long periods, even though they have XPT™ for protection. After each use, clean the tools with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Store the tools and batteries in a cool, dry place. Also, always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and safety. The kit comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any problems, contact Makita support.
