If you want to drill a hole in a wall, you have to make sure that there is no power line, water line or other thing in the wall that you don't want to damage. There are also locating devices that you can use. If you are sure that you can drill a hole here, you should clearly mark the spot.

 

Before you start, you should wear safety glasses and hearing protection for your own safety. If you have long hair, it is best to tie a braid or put it in your outerwear. It must be ensured that the hair does not get caught in the drill chuck. The next step is to ensure that you stand securely, whether on the floor or on the ladder. This is the only way to guide the drill smoothly and safely.
