K-Drill Ice Auger Operation
WARNING - You must read and understand the following instructions
before you can safely use the K-Drill ice auger.
Proper Drill Setup
1) Ensure that you have an adequate drill, meaning a half-
inch chuck and at least 725 in/lbs of torque.
2) Ensure the drill is set to its DRILL mode, not ratchet
or hammer.
3) Ensure the drill is set to its LOWEST (slowest) gear
setting.
4) Ensure your drill has a side-arm attachment so you
can maintain a secure two-handed hold on the drill
Attaching the K-Drill to Your Drill
CAUTION - Cutting blades are SHARP! Be sure to leave the safety cover
in place until you are ready to drill or serious injury may result.
1) Insert the Driver Adapter into the chuck of your drill.
2)Aligntheatsoftheadapterwiththejawsofyourdrill’schuckasyoucareful-
ly tighten it into place.
3) Ensure the auger is fully tightened, and check tightness periodically, re-tighten-
ing the auger in the chuck as needed.
IMPORTANT - A good practice for ensuring a securely tightened chuck is to tight-
en once and start drilling a hole, but after only a few seconds of drilling, STOP and
re-tighten the chuck. And is always good to keep checking your chuck throughout
the day to be sure it stays tight.

Drilling Holes in the Ice
IMPORTANT-Gettoyourshingspot,THENremove
the protective blade cover.
1) Ensure your K-Drill is properly aligned and fully
tightened into your drill chuck, and that it is set to
Drill Mode and in LOW Gear.
2) Set the Center Blade on the ice where you want to
drill the hole.
3) Ensure the drill is pointing straight down.
4)Holdthedrillhandleandside-armrmlyandpullthe
trigger fully. Use minimal downward pressure and
guide the drill through the ice.
IMPORTANT - If the ice is 8” thick or more, periodically
clear the hole of slush by either pulling the auger fully
out of the hole while running and spinning the ice clear.
If within a shelter, once you break through the ice, switch
the drill to reverse and carefully blow the ice down-
wards.
Too much slush in the hole can cause the K-Drill to bind
and possibly get stuck in the ice hole.
5) Drill additional holes as needed,THEN put the Blade
Protector back onto the auger.
WARNING - Keep all body parts and loose
clothing clear of the drilling assembly. Keep
children clear of the area and be aware of the
environment around you.

Owner’s Manual
• In colder conditions, keep the drill battery as warm as possible by removing it
from the drill and keeping it in your shelter or jacket pocket. Keep spare batter-
ies warm as well.
• Inspect K-Drill auger periodically , and if damaged, have it repaired or replaced
by an authorized service facility. Keep the blades sharp and clean for best per-
formance and reduce the risk of injury.
• Make sure the drill switch is in a locked position when changing blades.After
changing the blades make sure to ALWAYS put the safety cover on the auger.
• When changing replacement blades - make sure someone helps hold the auger
when changing the replacement blades.
