When installing a taper shank drill into the spindle bore, you must take several precautions. What are they and why?

Make sure that the drill taper and the bore are both clean. Wipe them with a rag. Be careful not to scrape or mark the internal taper of the spindle bore. Any burrs in the taper will throw your drill bit off centre and prevent a tight fit for the drill.
