Using the 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Drywall Screwdriver is easy. First, make sure you have a compatible Makita 18V Lithium-Ion battery with the star symbol. Insert the battery into the tool. You can set the tool to lock-on mode with the Push Drive™ Technology. This way, the motor only starts when you engage the fastener, which saves battery power and makes your work quieter. Adjust the depth of the nose piece to get consistent screw fastening. When you pull the trigger, the built-in L.E.D. light will illuminate the work area and stay on for about 10 seconds after you release the trigger. Use it for tasks like hanging sheetrock, metal framing, and installing subfloors. Remember to only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers. The Rapid Optimum Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery and charge it faster. It communicates with the battery's chip to optimize battery life. Store the tool in a dry place. If it gets dirty, clean it with a dry cloth. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures. The tool comes with a 3-year limited warranty, so you can use it with confidence.
