1. Start engine as explained on page 6 of this manual. For best cutting performance, run engine at idle for
1-2 minutes before drilling.
2. Hold the unit in a vertical position with your right hand pushing downward to open throttle, and your left hand
firmly holding the opposite handle.
3. This product produces considerable cutting force that is felt by the operator. Make sure your feet are firmly
planted and that the handles are held firmly while operating this product.
4. Push the throttle lever downward to increase the engine speed. As the engine speed increases the centrifugal
clutch will engage and the auger will begin to rotate.
5. During the operation of cutting, the auger could possibly stop if it comes in contact with a foreign object or if it
binds in the hole. Be prepared at all times to release the throttle lever to avoid rotation of the handle assembly.
6. Stop engine if you notice a difference in the operating characteristics of this machine.
7. Always stop the engine before any contact with the auger, even when clearing ice blockage.
8. Never touch the muffler due to a risk of burns!
9. The cutting blades on this auger are razor sharp. Use extreme care when handling and installing
blades and blade guards.
10. After using this machine,
STOP
the engine by allowing the engine to return to idle and moving the switch to
the OFF position. If engine fails to stop, press the decompression valve in to shut off the engine. If the ignition
switch has failed,
DO NOT OPERATE
until the ignition switch has been repaired by an qualified mechanic.
11. Always check to make sure the throttle system is moving freely and returning to idle.
12. Turn off this machine when traveling from fishing site to fishing site.
13. Always store auger with blade guard attached.

The large and small
holes from each
component must line
up before installing
the collar bolt.
Push down and twist
to line up holes.
It is recommended to
grease inside metal collar and
transmission output shaft on the
powerhead. Standard automotive
wheel bearing grease is suggested.
Insert drive shaft into auger and
install collar bolt.
Collar bolt inserts into the large
hole, passing through the drive
shaft and threads into small hole
of metal collar. Tighten bolt. Some
wiggle is normal between the power
head and auger. Tighten often.
After assembly is complete, you
can conveniently store your allen
wrench on the underside of the
throttle pedal.
It is recommended that the blade
and collar bolts be checked and
torqued firmly before and after
every use.
