FAQs
Does this tool come with a battery?
No, the DWR180Z is a bare unit and requires an 18V LXT battery and charger, sold separately.
Can I use this to loosen very tight bolts?

What size sockets are included?
The kit includes a 9-piece premium impact socket set along with the necessary drive adapters.
Is this tool waterproof?
No, the tool is not waterproof. Avoid using it in rain or wet conditions to prevent electrical damage.

Troubleshooting
Tool does not start when paddle is depressed
Ensure the battery is fully charged and securely clicked into the terminal.
Tool stops during heavy fastening
The electronic overload protection may have triggered. Allow the tool to cool down and apply less pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a fully charged Makita 18V LXT battery. Slide the battery into the base of the handle until it clicks securely into place. Choose the appropriate adapter (1/4" or 3/8") or use the pass-through socket method depending on your fastener size.
For care, wipe the tool down with a clean cloth after use, especially if working in oily or dusty environments. Ensure the vents remain free of debris to prevent motor overheating. When storing for long periods, remove the battery and keep the tool in the provided shoulder bag to protect against moisture.
