Product Description
The Makita XFD10Z 18V LXT Cordless 1/2-Inch Driver-Drill is a remarkable tool that packs power, high performance, and excellent ergonomics into a compact design. Part of Makita's expanding 18V Lithium-Ion series, the world's largest cordless tool lineup powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery, it's a game - changer. These batteries have the fastest charge times in their class, meaning more working time and less time on the charger. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ are built - in to safeguard against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. The tool can be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium - Ion batteries with the star symbol, indicating Star Protection. The XFD10Z is driven by a Makita - built 4 - pole motor with large front - end ball bearings, delivering 480 in.lbs. of max torque and 290 in.lbs. of PTI torque. Its redesigned planetary gear system and transmission offer increased durability in a more compact size, just 7 - 1/4 inches long and weighing only 3.3 lbs. with battery (battery not included). It features a mechanical 2 - speed transmission (0 - 600 & 0 - 1,900 RPM) for a wide range of applications, extreme protection technology (XPT™) for dust and water resistance in tough job sites, dual L.E.D. lights with afterglow to illuminate the work area, an ergonomic handle with a rubberized soft grip for comfort, all - metal gears for durability, a ratcheting chuck to prevent bit slippage, and a 3 - year limited warranty. Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers for optimal performance.
Using the Makita XFD10Z is a breeze. First, make sure you have a compatible Makita 18V Lithium - Ion battery with the star symbol. Insert the battery into the tool. Then, select the appropriate clutch setting and speed (you have 16 clutch settings and a 2 - speed all - metal transmission) based on your drilling or fastening task. When drilling, apply steady pressure. For driving screws, keep the tool perpendicular to the surface. As for safety, always wear safety goggles and gloves. Never use the tool in wet conditions unless you're in a job site where the XPT™ technology can handle it. When it comes to maintenance, after each use, wipe the tool clean with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Check the chuck regularly for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues with the battery, such as slow charging or reduced power, use the Rapid Optimum Charger to ensure it charges correctly. Remember, only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to keep your tool in top shape and under warranty.
