My drill started smoking (not an e-cig)

Just checking before I blow a hole in the wall that using an IR test at 500v is ok on bottled gas pipework. Seems like the sort of thing that in hindsight you'd wonder why you thought it was a good idea. Could disconnect the bottles, but that would seem to make the test pointless.
