How do you drill a hole with a drill bit?

To drill a hole with a drill bit, follow these steps for a safe and effective result:

1. Preparation is Key:

   • Mark the spot where you want to drill. Use an "X" or a dot to be precise.
   • Select the correct drill bit size and type for the material you are drilling.

2. Drill Setup:

   • Power up your drill as stated in the reference from Home Depot.
   • Adjust the torque to match the material. Softer materials need lower torque.

3. Positioning:

   • Find the "X" or dot you marked earlier.
   • Get at the correct level to drill straight.
   • Stabilize your drill vertically to ensure a perpendicular hole.

4. Drilling Process:

   • Gently pull the trigger to start drilling slowly.
   • Apply consistent pressure. Let the drill bit do the work.
   • Once you've drilled as far as you need, carefully remove the drill.

5. Extraction:

   • Put the drill in reverse, as per the reference, to back the drill bit out of the hole smoothly.
