It could be that the child has some bad memories associated with the drill machine. Did you ever take the child to a dentist? If she was exposed to a dental drill then most probably that's why she fears it. Or it could be the noise of the drill.
It broadly comes under a condition called mechanophobia which is fear of machines.
Next Steps
if it's becoming a concern please see a child psychiatrist
