Makita has revolutionized the cordless tool market with its 18V LXT Sub-Compact series. These tools offer the easy handling of 12V models but pack the power and compatibility of an 18V system, the world's largest cordless tool platform. The 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless 11/16 In. Rotary Hammer, which accepts SDS-PLUS bits, is a game-changer for working in confined spaces and overhead tasks. It's powered by an efficient Makita BL Brushless Motor. This motor not only boosts the run time by up to 50% but also enhances power, speed, and extends the tool's lifespan. With 2-mode operation - 'rotation only' or 'hammering with rotation' - it features 0 - 680 RPM, 0 - 4,800 BPM, and 0.81 ft.lbs./1.1 Joules of impact energy, ensuring fast and efficient drilling. Its compact size and light weight reduce operator fatigue, especially during overhead work. Additional perks include a vibration - absorbing handle that moves independently of the motor and hammer mechanism for a more comfortable grip, a variable speed trigger for versatile use, built - in L.E.D. lights to illuminate the work area, and a one - touch sliding chuck for effortless bit changes. The kit includes an 18V LXT® Sub - Compact Brushless 11/16' Rotary Hammer (XRH06ZB), two 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion Compact 2.0Ah Batteries (BL1820B), an 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion Rapid Optimum Charger (DC18RC), a tool bag, and a side handle. The 18V Compact LXT® Lithium - Ion 2.0Ah battery BL1820B has an integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator, provides up to 50% more run time per charge, and reaches full charge in 25 minutes or less. The Rapid Optimum Charger optimizes battery life by controlling current, voltage, and temperature and has a built - in fan for faster charging. The tool is also equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to prevent overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating, and comes with a 3 - year limited warranty on the tool, battery, and charger.
Using the Makita 18V LXT Sub - Compact Brushless 11/16 Rotary Hammer is a breeze. First, insert the SDS - PLUS bit into the one - touch sliding chuck. Then, choose the right mode according to your task - 'rotation only' for simple drilling or 'hammering with rotation' for tougher jobs. You can adjust the speed using the variable speed trigger to match the application. When working in low - light areas, turn on the built - in L.E.D. lights. Remember to charge the 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion Compact 2.0Ah Batteries (BL1820B) using the Rapid Optimum Charger. The charger will communicate with the battery's built - in chip to optimize the charging process. The battery has an integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator, so you can easily check its charge status. For maintenance, keep the tool clean after each use. Wipe off any dust or debris, especially from the motor and hammer mechanism. Avoid overloading the tool. If the tool starts to overheat, stop using it immediately and let it cool down. The tool is protected by Star Protection Computer Controls™, but it's still important to use it within its specified limits. The tool, battery, and charger come with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you encounter any issues, you can reach out to Makita for support.
