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 precau-
tions 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 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 assem-
bly into the auger weldment. The handle can be adjusted to three different
lengths (49”, 53.5” or 58”) 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.
SHARPENING
Sharp blades make cutting through ice easier. If your blades becomes dull, a
new set of blades can be ordered from Eskimo ® . Contact customer service at
1-800-3145-6007 for more information. Replacement parts also can be found
by visiting our website at www.geteskimo.com.
