InstructIon guIde for eskImo Hand augers
Thank you for purchasing an Eskimo® Hand Ice Auger from Ardisam, Inc. We
have worked to ensure that the ice auger meets high standards for usability and
durability. With proper care, your ice auger will provide many years of service.
Applies to models: HD06, HD07, HD08 (Standard Blades) and BHA6 and BHA8
(Barracuda Blades).
Before usIng your Ice auger, rememBer:
1) Always leave your blade protector on when not using your Eskimo hand auger.
The blades are sharp and can cause injury if proper precautions are not taken.
2) Be extremely careful when using your auger in shallow waters, as a rocky
water bottom can damage your blades and the auger if they come in contact.
3) Never try to adjust the cutting angles of your auger blades, especially by bending
them. The angles are specifically engineered and critical to the auger’s performance.
4) Always start a new ice hole instead of reopening an old one with your ice
auger. The sides of an old ice hole often freeze, shrinking the hole’s diameter.
This can cause your auger to jam. Using your ice auger in these conditions
can damage the auger and blades.
5) When using your ice auger, remember that the under-surface of ice is often uneven.
This can cause your auger to become jammed as you break through the ice. If you
find yourself in this situation, do not force your auger. Lift it up approximately 1” and
make several half turns, lowering the drill 1/4” each turn until a clean hole is cut.
6) Never hit your auger on the ice when trying to start a hole, as this can bend your
auger and damage the blades. Lower your auger gently when starting to drill.
assemBly
To assemble your Eskimo hand auger, insert the pommel handlebar assembly into
the auger weldment. The handle can be adjusted to three different lengths (52”,
56” or 60”) by aligning the appropriate hole on the handle bar with the hole in the
auger weldment. To secure the handle in place, insert the wing bolt and tighten.

If sharpening blades on your own, first remove the blades and then use a fine stone
to hone the upper surface only. Stoning on the wrong side, even just the slightest
amount, can damage the blade and make it ineffective. Blades must be razor sharp
with no nicks, dents or scratches, to work properly.
