Hold the trigger part of the drill in your dominant hand and place your other hand under the front of the drill, just behind the chuck. Position the drill above the location for the hole at a 90-degree angle to the wall's surface. Keep the drill at a 90-degree angle to the surface the entire time you are drilling the hole. Pull the trigger and use a moderate amount of pressure to guide the drill bit into the wall. Back out the drill bit while it is still turning to avoid chipping the edges of the hole.
