Using the Makita XRH10PTW is a breeze. First, make sure to fully charge the two 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion 5.0Ah batteries. Insert them into the tool. You can choose from three operation modes - rotation only, hammering with rotation, or hammering only, depending on your task. Adjust the speed using the variable speed dial and trigger to match the job at hand. If you want to use the dust extractor, install it. The auto - start wireless system (AWS™) can be used by installing the separate transmitter and syncing it with an AWS - equipped dust extractor. Just keep in mind that the transmitter and the compatible extractor are sold separately. When using the tool, hold it firmly with the side handle and the vibration - absorbing back handle. This will not only give you better control but also reduce the shaking you feel. If the bit gets stuck, the Active Feedback - sensing Technology (AFT®) will automatically turn off the motor to protect it. After you're done, release the trigger. The vacuum motor will run for an extra 3 seconds to collect any remaining dust. For maintenance, regularly clean the dust container and the filter of the dust extractor. Check the tool for any signs of damage, especially the gears and the bit. If you notice any issues, stop using the tool and get it checked. Store the tool in a dry place, and make sure to keep the batteries charged when not in use. The built - in L.E.D. battery charge level indicator on the batteries will help you keep track of their charge.
