Maintenance Tips

• Clean After Each Use: Wipe off concrete, mortar, or compound residue from the mixer body, dual handles, and chuck area to prevent buildup and protect controls. Always remove the battery before cleaning.

• Protect the Protective Cover: Keep the built‑in mixer splash cover clean — it helps prevent compound contamination of battery contacts and trigger assembly.

• Inspect & Tighten Fasteners: Before mixing, check that the chuck and any shaft attachments are securely tightened to avoid wobble or binding during use.

• Avoid Water Ingress: Clean with a damp cloth only — never soak or pressure wash, as water entering the motor housing can cause damage.

• Battery Handling: Use genuine Makita 40V Max XGT batteries (sold separately), charge before full depletion, and store in a cool, dry place to prolong battery life and performance.

• Store Properly: After use and cleaning, store the mixer indoors away from moisture and extreme temperatures to protect electronics and extend tool life.
