Setup, Compatibility & Care
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.
