Hold the drill firmly with the side handle, which can be attached to either side for right - or left - handed use. The soft start feature will give you a smooth start. When you're done, use the electric brake to stop the drill quickly. For safety, always wear appropriate protective gear like goggles and gloves. Don't use the drill in wet conditions unless it's necessary and make sure the drill has Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) for better dust and water resistance. To maintain your drill, keep it clean after each use. Wipe off any dust or debris. Check the chuck regularly to make sure it's tight and in good condition. If the battery runs out quickly or shows signs of overheating, it might be time to replace it. Also, look for the star symbol on the battery to ensure it has Star Protection. Keep the drill in a dry and cool place when not in use.
