The Lithium-Ion batteries are designed with a battery protection circuit to prevent overloading, over-discharging, and over-heating. It's part of the growing 12V max CXT® series, which combines great performance with superior ergonomics in a small size. The kit includes (2) 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion 2.0Ah Batteries (BL1021B), (1) 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion Charger (DC10WD), and (1) Tool Case. It features a variable 2-speed design (0 - 450 & 0 - 1,700 RPM) for a wide range of applications, a Makita-built motor for high torque, an ergonomic handle with a rubberized soft grip, a slide battery design for self-standing, a compact 7' length, a built-in L.E.D. light, a 3/8' keyless chuck for quick bit changes, and a battery protection circuit.
Using the Makita FD09R1 driver-drill is easy. First, insert the battery into the tool. Make sure it's properly seated. You can choose between the two speeds depending on your task. For lighter jobs, use the lower speed, and for tougher ones, switch to the higher speed. When changing bits, simply use the 3/8' keyless chuck. It allows for quick and easy bit changes. The built-in L.E.D. light can be very useful when working in dark areas. Just turn on the tool, and the light will illuminate your work area. When it comes to charging the batteries, use the included charger. The on-board L.E.D. charge level indicator on the batteries will show you the charge status. For longer run time, you can use the 12V max CXT Lithium-Ion 4.0 Ah battery. Always make sure to charge the batteries in a cool, dry place. Avoid overcharging them, as the battery protection circuit is there to prevent overloading, over-discharging, and over-heating, but it's still good practice. After use, clean the tool with a dry cloth. Keep it in the included tool case to protect it from damage. And that's it! With these simple steps, you can get the most out of your Makita FD09R1 driver-drill.
