Makita leads the way in brushless motor innovation. The 18V LXT® Brushless 2-Piece Combo Kit (model XT291M) offers two great brushless tools for all your drilling, driving, and fastening needs. Each tool is powered by an efficient Makita BL™ Brushless Motor. This motor is electronically controlled to give you a longer run time, more power and speed, and a longer tool life. The kit includes a 1/2" Hammer Driver - Drill with a whopping 1,250 in.lbs. of Max Torque. It's perfect for tough jobs in wood, metal, and masonry. There's also a compact and efficient Impact Driver with up to 1,500 in.lbs. of Max Torque. The 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion 4.0Ah batteries are amazing. They have the fastest charge times in their category and come with an on - board L.E.D. charge level indicator for your convenience. This kit is part of Makita's huge 18V Lithium - Ion series, the world's largest cordless tool collection powered by 18V Lithium - Ion slide - style batteries. Makita's 18V Lithium - Ion batteries charge super fast, so you can spend more time working and less time waiting. 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. It monitors the conditions during use to protect against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. For more versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium - Ion batteries with the star symbol, which means they have Star Protection inside. The kit includes an 18V LXT® Brushless 1/2" Hammer Driver - Drill (XPH14Z), an 18V LXT® Brushless Impact Driver (XDT13Z), two 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion 4.0Ah Batteries (BL1840B), an 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion Rapid Optimum Charger (DC18RC), and a tool bag. The brushless motor optimizes battery energy use, giving up to 50% longer run time per charge. It runs cooler and more efficiently without carbon brushes. The motor adjusts torque and RPM according to the job requirements. The 1/2" Hammer Driver - Drill has variable 2 - speed (0 - 550 & 0 - 2,100 RPM), delivers 1,250 in.lbs. of Max Torque, and weighs only 6.0 lbs. with the battery. It's great for a wide range of applications. The 3 - stage L.E.D. gauge shows the battery charge level. The variable speed Impact Driver (0 - 3,400 RPM & 0 - 3,600 IPM) with a BL™ Motor delivers 1,500 in.lbs. of Max Torque and weighs only 3.3 lbs. with the battery. The 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion 4.0Ah battery BL1840B has an integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator, provides up to 35% more run time per charge than BL1830, and reaches a full charge in 40 minutes or less. The Rapid Optimum Charger has a built - in fan to cool the battery for faster charging. It communicates with the battery's chip to optimize battery life by controlling current, voltage, and temperature. The tools have Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) for better dust and water resistance on harsh job sites. They also come with Star Protection Computer Controls(TM) to prevent overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. There's a 3 - year limited warranty on the tool, battery, and charger. Remember to use only genuine Makita batteries and chargers.
Using your Makita 18V LXT 2 - Piece Combo Kit is easy. First, make sure your 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion 4.0Ah battery is fully charged. You can check the charge level using the on - board L.E.D. indicator. For the 1/2" Hammer Driver - Drill, select the appropriate speed setting based on your task. The 0 - 550 RPM setting is great for slow and precise work, while the 0 - 2,100 RPM setting is for faster drilling. When using the Impact Driver, adjust the speed according to the fastening job. The 0 - 3,400 RPM and 0 - 3,600 IPM settings give you the power you need. As for maintenance, keep your tools clean. Wipe them down after each use, especially if you've been working in dusty or wet conditions. Thanks to the Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), the tools can handle some dust and water, but it's still a good idea to keep them as clean as possible. When charging the batteries, use the Rapid Optimum Charger. It has a built - in fan to cool the battery and communicates with the battery's chip to optimize the charging process. Always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and to avoid damaging your tools. And remember, your tools, batteries, and charger come with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any problems, you're covered.
