You might want to check the position of the forward / reverse switch:

Most of the drill bits I use have hex shanks anyway. My 18V right-angle drill has enough power that I was drilling with a hole-saw last year and it jammed and ripped itself out of my right hand with enough force that I initially thought it broke my arm and then the battery wipped around and split my chin open. I never us my corded DeWalt without the side grip installed as it has more than enough power to do serious damage should it get away and the power trigger does not turn off when released.
I was really surprised how much power my new drill has.. to say I am happy with it is an understatement
I have 1/2" corded Milwaukee drill with keyless chuck. An incredible workhorse.
