PISTOL BIT™ High Speed Drill Auger
Before drilling, check that the drill chuck is properly
aligned and tightened on the chuck adapter, and
that the drill is in its lowest speed.
Make sure the auger is straight up and down while drilling.
Place the auger on the ice where you want to drill the
hole, grip the drill and side handle firmly and pull the
trigger gradually.
Note: Power drills have variable speed triggers. Begin
drilling slowly by partially depressing the trigger
until the blades are fully engaged with the ice. The
trigger may then be depressed further if desired.
Note: if the ice and snow combined are over 24 inches
deep, periodically clear the hole of chips and slush.
Too many chips or slush in the hole can cause the
auger to become stuck in the hole.
After use, replace the blade protector on the auger for
transport and storage.
Inspect your auger for damage before and after each
outing. Have damaged components repaired or
replaced if necessary.
Note: If you are having difficulty cutting or starting
holes, inspect your blades for damage and replace or
sharpen your blades if necessary.
Always store in a safe location, with the blade protector
in place, out of reach of children and pets.
DRILL AND BATTERY
PRECAUTIONS
Never set your drill or battery down in standing water
For best performance, keep your batteries warm and
avoid setting your batteries in the snow or ice. Even
moderate cold can reduce the performance of batteries.
Ensure that the drill chuck is tight frequently
throughout use. If the chuck is not secured, it may
slip and cause damage to the auger or drill
Always put the drill switch in its locked position or
disconnect the battery before transporting your auger.
To reduce the risk of injury, never use your drill without
the stabilizer handle.
Be sure to follow any maintenance procedures or
schedules recommended by your drill's manufacturer.
Always keep drill in slowest speed setting.
