Using the Makita XRH12ZW is easy. First, insert two 18V LXT Lithium - Ion batteries (not included) into the tool. Select the appropriate SDS - Plus bit for your job and insert it into the tool. You can choose from three operation modes: rotation only, hammering with rotation, or hammering only. Use the variable speed trigger to adjust the speed according to the task. If you want to use the AWS feature, install the auto - start wireless transmitter (sold separately) and sync it with an AWS - equipped dust extractor (sold separately). When using the dust extractor, make sure the HEPA filter is clean. The extractor has a filter cleaning mechanism to help with this. Be careful when using the tool. Don't use it if the bit is damaged. The torque - limiting clutch is there to protect the gears, but try to avoid situations where the bit binds. Keep the tool away from water and excessive heat. For maintenance, after each use, wipe down the tool to remove any dust. Check the bit for wear and replace it if necessary. The battery and charger (sold separately) need proper care. Use the Rapid Optimum Charger to charge the battery. The charger has a built - in fan to cool the battery during charging, which helps optimize battery life. Don't overcharge the battery. Also, if the tool has been used for a long time, let it cool down before using it again.
