Owner’s Manual
IMPORTANT - At the end of the ice fishing season, before storing for summer,
please spray WD-40 on the blades. This simple maintenance prevents rusting during
storage. Also, K-Drill offers free blade sharpening. See page 9 for details.
CAUTION - Always place protective cover over blades when not drilling.
Keep the electric drill assembly out of the water.
K-Drill Ice Auger Operation
Proper Drill Setup
1) Ensure that you have an adequate drill, meaning a half-
inch chuck and at least 725 in/lbs of torque.
2) Ensure the drill is set to its DRILL mode, not ratchet
or hammer.
3) Ensure the drill is set to its LOWEST (slowest) gear
setting.
4) Ensure your drill has a side-arm attachment so you can
maintain a secure two-handed hold on the drill.
Attaching the K-Drill to your Electric Drill
3 Times Method
1) Set drill to neutral position or remove battery for your safety.
2) Insert the drive adapter of the k-drill into your electric drill aligning the flats on
the drive adapter with the 3 jaws of in the chuck of the electric drill.
3) Begin hand tightening the chuck down on the drive adapter while rotating the
handle of the electric drill back and forth 15-20 degrees. Continue this hand
tightening until the chuck feels tight on the adapter. Possible to use both hands to
assure chuck is tight. That’s #1.
4) Re-install battery and drill 3-4 inches of ice - tighten chuck more. That’s #2
5) Drill 2-3 complete holes and tighten chuck more. That’s #3, now the chuck is
secure on the drive adapter and should be good for drilling most of your holes
for the day. Always good to check again every 15-20 holes being certain nothing
loosens up during use.
