The Makita HP003GZ is a professional-grade cordless combi drill designed for trade contractors and serious DIY enthusiasts who require high-torque performance on the robust 40V Max XGT platform. Its primary benefit is the combination of immense brushless power and specialized safety features like Active Feedback sensing Technology (AFT) for heavy-duty drilling and fastening tasks; however, users should note that this is a 'Body Only' unit, meaning batteries and chargers must be purchased separately if you do not already own the XGT system.

No, the HP003GZ is a 'Body Only' model, which means batteries and a charger are not included.
No, this tool is exclusively designed for the Makita 40V Max XGT battery platform.
The medium speed setting is specifically calibrated to provide the best balance of speed and torque for driving long screws without overdriving them.
AFT is an automatic safety feature. If the drill experiences a sudden jerk or bind, the tool will cut power instantly to protect your wrists.
It is not waterproof, but it features XPT (eXtreme Protection Technology), which provides increased resistance to dust and moisture compared to standard tools.
This is likely the AFT (Active Feedback sensing Technology) engaging to prevent kickback. Ensure the drill is held firmly and the bit is not binding in the material.
Check the battery connection for debris. If the issue persists, the battery protection circuit may have triggered due to overheating; allow the battery to cool down before resuming.
Clean out any dust or debris inside the chuck jaws using compressed air and apply a tiny amount of dry lubricant if necessary.
To operate the HP003GZ, slide a fully charged Makita 40V Max XGT battery onto the base rails until it clicks into place. Ensure the chuck is tightened securely before starting any task. Compatibility is strictly limited to the Makita XGT battery line; 18V LXT batteries are not compatible. For maintenance, keep the ventilation slots clear of debris to prevent overheating. Periodically wipe the exterior with a dry cloth to maintain the integrity of the XPT sealing, and check that the keyless chuck jaws remain free of metal shavings or grit to ensure a firm grip on bits.
