Using the Makita XFD12T is easy. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. Insert the battery into the drill until it clicks into place. You can choose between the two speed settings depending on your task - use the lower speed (0 - 500 RPM) for tougher jobs like driving large screws, and the higher speed (0 - 2,000 RPM) for general drilling. Adjust the torque settings according to the size of the fastener you're working with. When drilling, hold the drill firmly with the rubberized soft - grip handle and start slowly to ensure accurate positioning. The built - in LED lights will illuminate your work area. For maintenance, keep the drill clean. After use in a dusty or wet environment, wipe it down. Avoid using the drill in extremely harsh conditions without proper protection as much as possible. Check the battery regularly for signs of wear. When charging the battery, use the Rapid Optimum Charger provided. Do not overcharge the battery or expose it to high temperatures. If you notice any unusual noises or performance issues with the drill, stop using it immediately and have it checked by a professional.
