Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a charged Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion battery. Slide the battery pack into the base of the tool until it clicks securely into place. This driver is compatible with all Makita 18V LXT slide-style batteries. For care, always remove the battery before performing maintenance or changing bits. Keep the air vents clear of dust and debris to prevent the motor from overheating. While the tool is built for rugged use, avoid exposing it to extreme moisture or submersion. Wipe the exterior with a dry cloth periodically and store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. Lubricate the bit holder if you notice increased friction during bit insertion or removal.
