The HP488DWA uses Makita 18V G-Series Li-ion batteries.
No, the HP488DWA is only compatible with G-Series batteries and will not work with LXT batteries.
Use the single sleeve keyless chuck. Simply turn the chuck to open it, insert the bit, and then tighten the chuck.
The hammer action is used for drilling into masonry, brick, and concrete.
The speed is controlled by the trigger. The further you press the trigger, the faster the drill will operate.
The torque setting depends on the material and the screw size. Start with a lower setting and increase it until the screw is driven in properly without stripping the material.
The kit includes the Makita HP488DWA drill, a G-Series battery, a charger, and a 100-piece drill bit and screwdriver bit set.
Check if the battery is properly inserted and charged. Ensure the battery is compatible and try the drill again. If the issue persists, inspect the trigger and power switch.
The battery may need to be recharged. Replace the battery with a fully charged one.
Tighten the chuck securely. Check the drill bit's condition; replace if worn.
Adjust the torque setting to a higher value. Make sure the drill is fully charged.
