FAQs
Does this product come with batteries and a charger?
No, the Makita DHP489Z is a 'Bare Tool' and does not include batteries or a charger. These must be purchased separately.
What is the purpose of the MAKPAC inlay?
The inlay is a moulded tray designed to fit into a Makita MAKPAC Type 2 Connector Case. It provides a secure and organized space for the drill, preventing movement and damage during transport and storage.
How do I switch between drilling, driving, and hammer modes?
The mode is typically selected via a collar behind the chuck. Rotate the collar to the desired symbol: a drill bit for drilling, a screwdriver for driving, and a hammer for hammer drilling.
What is XPT technology?
XPT (eXtreme Protection Technology) is a seal that provides enhanced protection against dust and dripping water, allowing the tool to be used in more challenging environmental conditions.
Can I use batteries from other Makita 18V tools?
Yes, as long as they are part of the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery system, they are compatible with the DHP489Z.
How is the brushless motor different from a brushed motor?
Brushless motors are more efficient, meaning they use less energy for the same amount of work, leading to longer runtimes. They also tend to be more durable and require less maintenance as there are no brushes to wear out.
What is the maximum torque of this drill?
The Makita DHP489Z has a maximum lock torque of 75Nm.
Troubleshooting
Drill not powering on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly seated in the tool. Check if the battery contacts are clean.
Reduced power or runtime
The battery may be low on charge or nearing the end of its life. Try a fully charged, known-good battery. Ensure vents are clear of dust for motor cooling.
Chuck is difficult to open or close
Check for debris around the chuck mechanism. If persistent, a service may be required.
Hammer function not engaging
Ensure the tool is set to the 'hammer' mode. If the issue persists, there may be an internal problem requiring professional service.
