Makita 40V Max XGT Brushless Cordless 1/2" Driver‑Drill Kit (2.5Ah) - GFD01D

Makita 40V Max XGT Brushless Cordless 1/2" Driver‑Drill Kit (2.5Ah) - GFD01D

The 40V max XGT Brushless Cordless ½” Driver-Drill (GFD01D) breaks new ground for the most demanding drilling and driving applications in wood, masonry and metal. It's powered by a Makita-built brushless motor that delivers 1,250 in.lbs. of Max Torque, outpowering other driver-drills in heavy-load applications. It offers up to 35% faster drilling speed, compared to Makita’s 18V LXT Cordless ½” Hammer Driver-Drill (XPH07), with two speed settings (0-650 and 0-2,600). An electronic digital clutch accurately targets desired torque range (41 settings in low speed, 21 settings in high speed). Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT) turns the motor off if rotation of the accessory is suddenly forced to stop. The GFD01D is a workhorse tool engineered to outlast with Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) to provide increased dust and water resistance in harsh jobsite conditions. A reinforced gear housing and all-metal chuck provide additional durability. XGT is a system of equipment, tools, batteries and chargers utilizing 40v max lithium-ion batteries. XGT is engineered to deliver high power to take on high-demand applications, allowing users to completely transition to a cordless job site. XGT is equipped with advanced brushless motor engineering, intelligent digital communication, and superior durability features to outpower, outsmart and outlast the competition.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean After Use: Wipe down the drill with a clean cloth to remove dust and debris from the chuck, vents, and motor housing. Use compressed air to clear out any dust in hard-to-reach areas.

• Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply light lubrication to the chuck and any moving components to ensure smooth operation. Use only the recommended lubricant.

• Inspect the Chuck: Check the chuck regularly for wear or damage. Ensure it is tight and secure before each use to avoid bit slippage.

• Battery Care: Keep the 40V Max battery charged, but avoid overcharging or allowing it to fully discharge. Store it in a cool, dry place to prolong its lifespan.

• Check for Loose Components: Before use, inspect the drill for loose screws or parts, especially around the chuck and handle. Tighten as needed for safety and performance.

• Keep Vents Clear: Ensure the cooling vents are free of dust and debris to prevent overheating. Regularly check the ventilation system.
