When you have your Jiffy Key Keeper positioned where you want it, 
install (or re-install) your handle half, tightening the bolts securely 
without over-tightening.  Allow your installed Jiffy Key Keeper to dry 
for a day or two, and then slide (without any lubrication) your hex 
wrench about midway into the small hole in the Jiffy Key Keeper.  
Now, your hex key is handy whenever you assemble and 
disassemble the drill assembly to your Jiffy powerhead.

REPLACEMENT TEETH –

 Improper cutting may be due to dull or 

damaged drill teeth or drill point.  Maintain sharp blade teeth and 
point.  Preserve the original factory cutting angles when sharpening 
your drill.  File blade teeth and use a disk sander to sharpen the 
point.  For professional service see your Jiffy service center.  Only 
genuine Jiffy blade teeth are to be used. 
 

 

 

BLADE TEETH REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS – 

When 

replacing blade teeth, the beveled edge of teeth and the head of the 
capscrews should face the ice.  The stamped part number on the 
teeth should face away from the ice, as shown in the diagram.  Use 
two 7/16” wrenches to remove the capscrews and to retighten after 
replacement.   CAUTION – 

THE BLADE TEETH ARE SHARP AND 

SHOULD BE HANDLED CAREFULLY TO AVOID FLESH CUTS 
OR INJURY.
