The batteries are choking hazards. NOT FOR INTERNAL USE.

This should be considered the Holy Grail of an answer to your enquiry:

Do not apply pressure when using the drill by leaning on it using your chest.

 You should  keep a sensible distance betweem PM and drill , then you will fine. ( Like you do with your mobile phone and your PM).

I doubt whether you will do any harm even it the drill was next to the PM, though I am not the first to be trying this. 

I have not had the hammer action of the drill affect my PM inspite of some vibration being passed up the arms to the chest. 

I regulary use battery powered tools and have never had or heard or a problem.

You have a T-shirt that reads “Wired4Sound”.
