Using your Makita 18V LXT® Impact Wrench is easy. First, make sure you have a fully charged Makita 18V Lithium-Ion battery with the Star symbol. Slide the battery onto the tool until it clicks into place. Use the 3-speed power selection switch to choose the right speed for your task. For light jobs, use a lower speed. For tougher jobs, go for a higher speed. The forward/reverse switch helps you drive or remove nuts and bolts. When changing sockets, just press the 1/2' anvil with the friction ring and swap the socket. The dual L.E.D. lights will help you see in dark areas. To keep your tool in good shape, clean it after each use. Wipe off any dirt or debris with a dry cloth. Don't use harsh chemicals. Store it in a dry place. When charging the battery, use only the Makita Rapid Optimum Charger. The charger will communicate with the battery's chip to control current, voltage, and temperature. Always remember to follow safety rules. Wear safety goggles and gloves. Don't use the tool if it's damaged. And always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to avoid problems.
