A power drill is not a technical device. But with all power tools, safety needs to be done.

1. As a general thought, always make sure your work is secured down securely. Having a piece of metal or wood shoot out and the drill bit cutting in to your leg would not be a great experience.
2. Don’t wear long sleeves or loose clothing when drilling. If you are using a 24v cordless drill, a single piece of clothing caught in the drill bit would wind up clothing extremely quickly.
3. Don’t force the electric drill to drill. Instead, let the machine do its work. This goes for other tools as well.
4. You should always begin very slow and work up to a higher speed. Starting off quickly is only going to have the drill bit dance around and end up elsewhere.
