5. 

Grasp STARTER HANDLE (see Figure 1) and pull slowly until 
you feel the rewind engage, then give the handle a brisk, strong 
pull.  Do not wrap the starter rope around your hand.  Do not let 
the starter rope snap back, rather guide it slowly into the 
housing to allow proper rewind.  Failure to follow these 
instructions may result in personal injury and damage to the 
engine. 

6. 

When the engine starts, move CHOKE LEVER to ½ CHOKE 
(warm up) position until the engine  warms up.  Then position 
choke lever to NO CHOKE POSITION. 

 

NOTE: 

If engine fails to start, after a reasonable number of 

starting attempts repeat steps 3, 4, 5, and 6 above.

OPERATION/STOPPING  INSTRUCTIONS 
NOTE: To minimize water splash, back-off throttle when the drill breaks 

thru ice, then raise drill slowly. 

 
NOTE: The clutch slips when the drill is overloaded, when this 

happens, raise complete unit slightly to ease load. 

 
NOTE: Remove blade protector from drill assembly prior to drilling.  

Reinstall when drilling is complete. 

 

1. 

After engine starts, immediately move choke lever to center “Warm-Up” 
position until engine warms up.  Allow sufficient time for engine warm-
up.  If engine stops running, verify fuel cap air vent is open. 

2. 

After starting, but prior to throttle advancement to engage clutch, grip 
left hand handle firmly.  The left hand should grip handle on opposite 
side and the left thumb should control throttle rod mechanism. 

3. 

Engage throttle slowly until cutting teeth and drill point have entered 
hole completely, then advance throttle. 

 

NOTE: During extreme weather conditions, when air temperature is –15  

F, -26  F or colder, the  grease in the transmission may stiffen 
which may limit unit performance.  This is only a temporary 
situation and will improve with warmer temperatures. 

 

4.   After hole is drilled, slowly raise unit from the hole and move engine stop 

switch to OFF position. 

5.    After engine is stopped, close FUEL CAP air vent. 
 

NOTE: If drilling additional holes, carry unit in upright position by 

handles only, to next location and proceed with normal starting 
and operating instructions. 

 

6.  When all holes have been drilled, lay unit down, resting on wing 

handles.  Disconnect drill assembly from powerhead by removing 
sockethead capscrew from drill using proper hex key wrench and sliding 
assembly off of engine output shaft, then reattach capscrew to drill 
assembly. 

7. 

Position powerhead with the filler neck of the fuel tank in the upper-most 
position to prevent fuel spillage.  

8. 

Reattach blade protector to drill assembly to prevent damage to the 
blade teeth and point. 

 

TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE 

1. 

Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and keep it away from spark 
plug. 

2. 

Make sure all fuel is drained from fuel tank, fuel cap is screwed on tight, 
and screw vent on cap is tightly closed.

 

3. 

Always transport and store powerhead in an upright position and make 
sure powerhead and drill assembly are properly anchored to prevent 
damage. 

4. 

Never store powerhead with fuel in tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly 
ventilated enclosures, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, 
spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, etc. 

 
KEY KEEPER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Your hex wrench can be kept handy for convenient use with the new Jiffy 
Key Keeper mounted on your Jiffy wing handle half.  Mounting it is easy, all 
you need to do is slide the Jiffy Key Keeper over the end of the handle half 
about midway between the bend in the handle and the handle end as shown 
in the picture.  Note: you may have to dis-assemble the 

non-throttle

 side 

handle half from the unit to slide it on. 
 
Lubricate the inside of the larger hole of the Jiffy Key Keeper with 
dishwashing liquid or very soapy water to make it slide on easier.  When the 
soap dries, your Jiffy Key Keeper will be securely held in place. 
 
Do 

NOT

 use oil, grease, petroleum jelly, silicone, WD-40 or anti petroleum-
