Using this Makita combo kit is straightforward. First, charge the 18V LXT lithium - ion 5.0Ah batteries using the rapid optimum charger. It'll take about 45 minutes or less to get a full charge. Once charged, insert the battery into the tool you want to use, whether it's the hammer driver - drill or the impact driver. When using the hammer driver - drill, you can choose between two speeds depending on your task. The lower speed is great for more precise work, while the higher speed is for faster drilling. For the impact driver, select one of the four speeds. The Quick - Shift Mode can help you get the best balance of speed and torque for different applications. When you're done using the tools, store them in the provided tool bag. Keep the tools and batteries in a dry place. Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and to avoid damaging the tools. If you notice any issues like overheating or strange noises, stop using the tool immediately. Also, remember that the tools are covered by a 3 - year limited warranty, so keep your receipt in case you need to make a claim.
