FAQs
How long do the 5.0Ah batteries typically last?
Runtime varies significantly based on the application. For moderate use, a single 5.0Ah battery can provide a full day's work. High-demand tasks like driving large fasteners will reduce runtime.
Can I use batteries from older Makita tools?
The 18V LXT batteries are backward compatible with most Makita 18V tools. However, older tool models may not take advantage of the full performance of newer batteries.
What is the maximum drilling capacity for the combi drill?
The combi drill has a chuck capacity of 1.5-13mm, suitable for wood, metal, and masonry. Specific maximum drilling diameters depend on the material being drilled.
How do I maintain the brushless motor?
Brushless motors are virtually maintenance-free. The primary care involves keeping the tool clean, ensuring ventilation ports are clear, and using it within its specified operating parameters.
Is the Makpac case waterproof?
The Makpac cases are designed for durability and impact resistance, offering good protection against dust and water splashes. They are not fully submersible.
What is the warranty period for this kit?
Makita typically offers a warranty on their tools and batteries. Please refer to the product documentation or Makita's official website for specific warranty details applicable in your region.
