It is a very subtle difference, but to me
"How do you use that?"
feels like someone is referring to something that has not been talked about yet, and
"how do you use it?"
is usually what you would ask when you're already talking about the thing.
examples: "how do you use that?" while pointing at a guitar
and: "this guitar looks very cool, but how do you use it?"
