Using the Makita XT296ST Combo Kit is easy. For the impact driver, first, select the appropriate speed using the 3 - speed power selection switch according to your task. If you're using self - drilling screws, switch to T - mode for better control. For the hammer driver - drill, choose between the two speeds based on the material you're working on. When using the tools, make sure to wear safety goggles to protect your eyes. Always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to avoid any damage to the tool or battery. After each use, clean the tools with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Keep the tools in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion. If you're not using the batteries for a long time, store them at around 50% charge. The tool, battery, and charger come with a 3 - year limited warranty, but taking good care of them will ensure they last even longer.
