Safety and Usage Tips
• DO NOT use the K-Drill Auger for anything else
except for which it is intended-for drilling ice! It
was not designed to drill into soil or lumber.
• When drilling, keep a firm hold on the drill handle
and side-arm. Also maintain proper footing and
balance at all times.
• DO NOT leave drill standing in partially drilled
hole. It may freeze into place.
• Train inexperienced operators to regularly clear hole during drilling.
• DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving auger.
• During the operation of cutting the ice, the auger could possibly bind if it
comes in contact with a foreign object. Use caution and don’t force the drill.
• In conditions of thick ice, be sure to pull the auger out of the ice several times
while running to assure excess ice shavings do not buildup in the hole or bind-
ing may result.
• After cutting the ice fishing holes, the auger should ALWAYS be set 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.
