Using your Makita XT297T combo kit is easy. First, make sure your 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion 5.0Ah batteries are fully charged. It takes about 45 minutes to charge them. For the hammer drill, select the appropriate speed (0 - 550 or 0 - 2,100 RPM) depending on your task. When using it for masonry, you'll benefit from the high BPM. The all - metal chuck makes it easy to hold the drill bit. Just insert the bit and it'll grip tightly. The LED lights help you see in dark areas. For the impact driver, use the four - speed power selections. The Assist Mode is great when you're starting to drive a screw. It starts at a low speed to prevent issues like screw cam - out. The Tightening Modes are useful for quickly tightening self - drilling screws in different metals. When using the heat gun, it's a straightforward tool - only device. Just turn it on and use it as needed. As for maintenance, keep your tools clean. Wipe them down after use, especially if you've been working in dusty or wet conditions. Thanks to the Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), they're more resistant to dust and water, but it's still a good idea to take care of them. Also, don't overwork your tools. The Star Protection Computer Controls™ are there to protect against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating, but it's best to use the tools within their recommended limits. Store your tools in the provided tool bag when not in use. This will keep them organized and protected.
