This is the content required for an introduction to our handheld power [[drills]] (including [[Cordless Drills|cordless drills]], [[Impact Drills|impact drills]] and [[Rotary Hammer|rotary hammer]], but NOT the [[Drill Press|drill press]] or [[Rotary Tool|rotary tool]]) - '''reading this does NOT replace the mandatory session with a [[tutor]]!''' It will make it a lot quicker though ;-)
 
Let's begin! First off, make sure you have read the machine's manual, if available (check its "InfoBox" in the wiki for instructions how to find it).
 
== Safety ==
=== Dangers ===
* exposed & rapidly spinning chucks
* possible kickback due to a [[Drill Bits|drill bit]] that binds with the material
 
=== Precautions ===
* wear [[Personal Protection|personal protection]] but '''not''' [[gloves]], they could get caught!
* stay clear of the chuck when in operation - use a secondary handle if possible
* make sure the drill can't accidentally turn on before changing a bit or touching the chuck for any other reason
* be prepared for sudden movements of the tool or your workpiece, especially when using large diameter drill bits or [[Hole Saw|hole saws]]
** firmly hold the tool's handle(s) and secure your workpiece with [[clamps]] or in a [[vise]]
 
== Suggested Reading ==
Besides these safety notes, you should read about the different [[Drill Bits|drill bits]] to know what you're doing! '''Different materials usually require different bits, and the drilling speed depends on the bit as well as the type of material.'''
