Avoid driving large diameter screws into metal unless the drill has torque limitation setting.

Rule #7

If you consider using a drill also as a mixer (only for paints or low viscosity materials in limited quantity), select more powerful model (at least 650W) with two speeds. Mixing is done on the first gear at speed limited to approx. 800 rpm.

Rule #8

If you consider using a drill with core bits in masonry (for switches, sockets, boxes, etc), select high power model (1000W or above) with safety clutch.

Rule #10

If you drill through sliding surface (for instance tiles), stick in advance an adhesive paper on the spot where you wish to drill. In this way, the drill bit won’t slip reducing the risk of both damages and injuries.
