Using the Makita XVR01Z is a breeze. First, make sure you have a fully - charged Makita 18V LXT Lithium - Ion battery with the star symbol. Insert the battery into the tool. Select the appropriate nosepiece and jaw pusher for the rivet size you're working with. Then, place the rivet into the tool. Position the tool where you want to install the rivet, and press the trigger. The powerful motor will do the rest, setting the rivet in one stroke in most cases. Remember, the tool can work in any orientation, so you can use it from different angles. When it comes to safety, always wear appropriate safety gear like goggles. Don't try to force the tool beyond its capacity, as this can cause overloading. For maintenance, keep the tool clean after each use. You can use a dry cloth to wipe it down. Every once in a while, use the provided Molybdenum Disulfide Grease to lubricate the moving parts. And always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and to protect the tool from over - discharging and over - heating. Also, take advantage of the 3 - year limited warranty that comes with the tool.
