Makita 18V LXT Lithium‑Ion Compact Brushless Cordless 1/2" Hammer Driver‑Drill - XPH12T
The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless ½” Hammer Driver-Drill (XPH12T) is an ideal drilling and driving solution for the user who wants more features. The XPH12T combines 530 in. lbs. of Max Torque with an efficient brushless motor that delivers up 50% more work per charge, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. For the pro user, this means more drilling and driving power, greater productivity, and fewer trips up and down the scaffolding or ladder to get to the battery charger. In driver mode, the adjustable torque settings provide more control for a full range of applications, from large fasteners to smaller, delicate screws. For drilling into masonry, simply switch to the percussive hammer driver-drill setting. It weighs only 4.2 lbs. (with battery) for increased comfort and superior power-to-weight ratio. The kit includes two efficient 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries, and each reach a full charge in only 45 minutes – the fastest charge-time in the category – for less downtime and increased productivity.

Maintenance Tips
- Remove batteries before cleaning, inspecting, or performing maintenance.
- Clean sawdust, wood chips, and debris from the chain, guide bar, sprocket area, and cooling vents after each use.
- Check and adjust chain tension regularly using the tool-less chain adjustment system for safe and efficient cutting.
- Keep the 16" guide bar and chain properly lubricated; refill the automatic chain oil reservoir when needed.
- Inspect the chain for dull, damaged, or worn cutters and sharpen or replace as necessary.
- Clean the guide bar groove and oil ports to maintain proper chain lubrication.
- Check the chain brake, trigger switch, and safety features before each use.
- Keep battery contacts clean and store BL1850B batteries in a cool, dry location away from extreme temperatures.
- Avoid harsh cleaners such as gasoline, thinner, or alcohol; use a clean cloth for routine maintenance.
- Install the chain cover before storage and keep the saw in a dry, protected area.
- Use genuine Makita replacement parts, batteries, and chargers to maintain performance and reliability.
