The Makita XLT02 is a cordless angle impact wrench designed for fastening and loosening bolts and nuts. It is powered by an 18V D.C. battery cartridge and features an adjustable angle head, an electric brake, and a reversing switch for versatile operation.
Function Description:
The XLT02 operates by applying rotational force and impacts to fasteners, making it suitable for a range of applications. Its primary function is to provide high torque for efficient fastening. The tool is equipped with a switch lever that controls the tool's speed, increasing with greater pressure. A built-in front lamp illuminates the work area, staying on for 10-15 seconds after the switch lever is released. The reversing switch allows for both clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, enabling both fastening and loosening tasks. The angle head can be adjusted to 8 positions (360 degrees in 45-degree increments), providing flexibility for working in tight or awkward spaces.

Usage Features:
- Battery Protection System: Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are equipped with a protection system that automatically cuts off power to the tool under overloaded conditions or low battery voltage, extending battery life.
- Adjustable Angle Head: The angle head can be adjusted to 8 different positions (45-degree increments) by loosening a hex bolt, adjusting the head, and then re-tightening the bolt. This feature allows the user to position the tool for optimal access in various work environments.
- Variable Speed Control: The tool's speed is controlled by the pressure applied to the switch lever, offering precise control over fastening operations.
- Reversing Switch: A reversing switch lever allows for quick changes in the direction of rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise), facilitating both tightening and loosening of fasteners. When the lever is in the neutral position, the switch lever cannot be pulled, preventing unintentional starting.
- Front Lamp: A built-in lamp illuminates the work area, improving visibility in dimly lit conditions. It activates when the switch lever is pulled and remains on for 10-15 seconds after release.
- Socket Installation: Sockets are easily installed by pushing them onto the anvil until they lock into place and removed by pulling them off.
- Hook (Accessory): An optional hook can be installed on either side of the tool housing, providing a convenient way to temporarily hang the tool.
- Optional Accessories: The XLT02 supports various optional accessories, including straight heads, ratchet heads, different types of sockets, extension bars, universal joints, and bit adapters, enhancing its versatility for different applications.
- Fastening Torque Considerations: The proper fastening torque can vary based on bolt type, size, material, and fastening time. Users are advised to perform test operations and use a torque wrench to verify fastening torque. Factors like battery discharge, socket condition, bolt characteristics, and the use of universal joints or extension bars can affect the fastening force.
Maintenance Features:
- General Maintenance: To ensure product safety and reliability, all repairs, maintenance, or adjustments should be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers using genuine Makita replacement parts.
- Cleaning: The tool should be kept dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. The lens of the front lamp should be wiped with a dry cloth, taking care not to scratch it.
- Battery Cartridge Care:
- Always charge the battery cartridge before it is completely discharged.
- Avoid overcharging fully charged battery cartridges.
- Charge battery cartridges at room temperature (10 °C - 40 °C / 50°F - 104°F).
- Allow hot battery cartridges to cool down before charging.
- If not used for a long period, charge the battery cartridge once every six months.
- Do not disassemble, short-circuit, expose to water/rain, or incinerate battery cartridges.
- Avoid dropping or striking the battery.
- Do not use damaged batteries.
- Tool Inspection: Before any inspection or maintenance, ensure the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed. Avoid using gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol, or similar substances, as they can cause discoloration, deformation, or cracks.
- Electric Brake Service: If the electric brake consistently fails to stop the blade quickly after the switch lever is released, the tool should be serviced at a Makita service center.
