Using the Makita XT297T combo kit is a breeze. First, make sure your batteries are fully charged using the included charger. It takes about 45 minutes to charge the 5.0Ah batteries. For the hammer drill, select the appropriate speed setting based on your task. The low speed (0 - 550 RPM) is great for heavy - duty drilling and driving, while the high speed (0 - 2,100 RPM) is better for lighter jobs. When using the impact driver, you can choose from four different speed settings for precise fastening. Use the Assist Mode (A - mode) to prevent screw cam - out and cross - threading. And for self - drilling screws, the Tightening Modes (T - mode) will help you work faster and safer. When you're done using the tools, clean them with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Store the tools in the provided tool bag in a dry place. Also, don't forget to charge the batteries regularly to keep them in good condition. Avoid using the tools in extremely wet or dusty environments, but if you have to, the Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) will offer some protection. And always follow safety guidelines when operating power tools, like wearing safety goggles and gloves.
