1. Always wear safety glasses when using a cordless drill.
2. Make sure the drill and the bit you are using are properly rated for the material you are working with.
3. Make sure to check the torque setting on the drill to prevent over-tightening or stripping screws.
4. Keep the cordless drill away from flammable materials and liquids.
5. Never engage the drill while it is in contact with any combustible material.
6. Ensure the drill bit is sharp and in good condition to minimize vibrations and strain.
7. Secure the item that you are drilling with a clamp to prevent it from slipping or shifting.
8. When changing drill bits, always disconnect the cordless drill from the power source.
