Safety and Usage Tips
• DO NOT use the K-Drill Auger for anything else except for
drilling ice. It was not designed to drill into soil or lumber.
• KEEP a firm hold on the drill handle and side-arm as you drill.
Also maintain proper footing and balance at all times.
• DO NOT leave drill standing in partially drilled hole. It can freeze into place.
• TRAIN inexperienced operators to regularly clear hole during drilling.
• DO NOT wear loose clothing or lanyards. They can be caught in moving
auger.
• BE AWARE that when cutting ice, the auger can bind, causing the drill to stop
suddenly. Use caution and don’t force the drill.
• CLEAR ice shards and slush several times while drilling to assure excess ice
shavings do not buildup in the hole, or binding may result. CLEAR ice shards
just before breaking through.
• ALWAYS set the auger in a safe place to prevent personal injury or damage to
the auger shaft or blades.
• KEEP your electric drill assembly out of standing water. Rest the drill horizon-
tally using the drill handle (battery) and side-arm as the props.
• KEEP the drill battery in a warm location prior to use in colder conditions.
Keep spare batteries warm as well.
• INSPECT your K-Drill auger periodically. If damaged, have it repaired or re-
placed by an authorized service facility.
• KEEP the blades sharp and clean for best performance.
• DO NOT try to sharpen the blades yourself. K-Drill offers Lifetime Blade
Sharpening as long as the blades remain within specifications. Free Lifetime
Blade Sharpening does NOT cover negligence or misuse.
If you have problems or have a defective K-Drill, DO NOT return
it to the retailer. Contact K-Drill directly for all warranty issues.
