"Hi, I'm Danny from Tampa, Florida and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to use and maintain an electric hand drill. I'm going to talk about safety on the hand drill. You want to make sure that when you put the bit in or whatever you're going to use on your drill, you want to make sure it?s tight. Use your chuck, if it?s chuckless, hold it and make sure it?s completely tight. This is a corded drill. Just make sure there's no breaks or kinks or anything in the wire. And if you're using a battery operated drill, just make sure it?s fully charged and make sure the bit is on there tight. And also you can use the air one. It?s the same as the corded one with the key chuck so it'd be the same process, just make sure you have a good air pressure in your tank and also make sure you have your safety glasses on 'cause you don't want any bits or anything breaking and going into your eye."
