the following safety precautions.
Preventing accidents is the responsibility of every power equipment
operator. The safety precautions identified in this manual must be fully
understood and followed by every operator of this Jiffy Power Ice Drill.

sections of this manual for the description of the controls and function
of your Jiffy Power Ice Drill. Teach the safety precautions to all
persons who use your Jiffy Power Ice Drill.
The STX PROII Lectric™ is designed for use with a Jiffy left hand
(counter-clockwise) rotation ice drill ONLY.
When using an external battery source to operate your Jiffy STX
PROII Lectric™, use ONLY the Jiffy Cable Assembly (#3917),
Wiring Harness (#3939), or Extension Cable (#3929) designed
exclusively for the Jiffy STX PROII Lectric™ power head.
After the Jiffy Cable Assembly (#3917) is attached to the STX
PROII Lectric™ power head, attach the red clamp to the positive
[+] battery post and the black clamp to the negative [-] battery
post. Failure to do so can result in electrical damage to the unit
and/or serious bodily injury.
Avoid mishandling and abuse of your Jiffy Power Ice Drill. Handle
it with care, as any rough treatment can cause damage to your
Jiffy Power Ice Drill or it can cause a malfunction.
Avoid unintentional starting. Use extreme caution when
transporting the STX PROII Lectric™ from hole to hole while on
the ice
If drill lodges in the ice while drilling holes, release pressure from
the throttle assembly and pull drill from the hole. Start over.
(Keeping the throttle assembly engaged when the auger is not
turning can drain your battery and seriously damage your ice
drill.)
Disconnect the connection pin from throttle assembly before
transporting or servicing your ice drill.
