The Makita XRH10ZW 18V X2 LXT (36V) brushless 1-1/8 in. AVT rotary hammer, which accepts SDS-Plus bits, is a top - notch cordless solution for concrete work. It combines advanced engineering for high - efficiency performance and convenient dust extraction. Powered by two 18V LXT batteries and an efficient brushless motor, it offers the power, speed, and long run - time usually associated with corded tools, but without the hassle of cords. With X2 LXT technology, when using two 18V LXT 5.0 Ah batteries (sold separately), it can drill up to 140 1/2 in. x 2 - 3/8 in. holes per charge. The on - board dust extractor, compliant with OSHA table 1, has a filter - cleaning mechanism to keep suction at its best. The trigger - activated dust extractor, powered by a separate motor, boosts suction without affecting the hammer's performance. The rubber suction gasket ensures good contact with the work surface. Dust is directed to a clear container with a HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of dust particles (size.3 microns). There's also a 3 - second delay on the vacuum motor to collect leftover dust during bit removal, making it great for overhead drilling. The dust extractor attachment can be removed, and the hammer can be used with a separate attachment and extractor (sold separately). It's AWS capable, using Bluetooth for wireless power - on/off communication between the tool and an equipped dust extractor. To use AWS, install the auto - start wireless transmitter (198901 - 5, sold separately) and sync with an AWS - equipped dust extractor (XCV08, sold separately). It has anti - vibration technology (AVT) for a more comfortable experience. Included in the package are a dust extractor attachment with HEPA filter cleaning mechanism (DX08), a side handle, and a depth gauge. Key features include high - performance X2 LXT technology, a powerful BL brushless motor, AWS compatibility, Active Feedback - sensing Technology (AFT) to protect the motor, torque - limiting clutch, constant speed control, variable speed options, built - in LED light, ergonomic design, 3 - mode operation, retractable tool hook, Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) for harsh conditions, and Star Protection Computer Controls to safeguard the tool. It also works with a Rapid Optimum Charger (battery and charger sold separately) to optimize battery life.
Using the Makita XRH10ZW is easy. First, make sure you have two 18V LXT batteries installed (batteries are sold separately). You can choose from three operation modes - rotation only, hammering with rotation, or hammering only, depending on your job. Use the variable speed dial and trigger to match the speed to the task. When you start drilling, the built - in LED light will illuminate the work area. If you're using the dust extractor, the trigger - activated system will start sucking up dust. After you release the trigger, the vacuum motor will run for 3 more seconds to collect any remaining dust. To use the AWS feature, install the auto - start wireless transmitter (sold separately) and sync it with an AWS - equipped dust extractor (also sold separately). When using the tool, pay attention to the Active Feedback - sensing Technology (AFT). If the bit gets stuck and stops rotating suddenly, the motor will turn off automatically to protect the tool. The torque - limiting clutch will also disengage the gears if the bit binds to prevent gear damage. For maintenance, regularly clean the dust extractor filter using the filter - cleaning mechanism. Check the tool for any signs of wear or damage. Store the tool in a dry place and use the retractable tool hook to keep it secure when not in use. Make sure to charge the batteries with the Rapid Optimum Charger (charger sold separately) to optimize battery life and avoid overloading, over - discharging, or over - heating the tool.
