• Always keep hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away from any
moving parts on engine and auger.
• Do not allow children to operate this power auger. Do not allow
adults to operate the auger without proper instruction.
• Do not operate any power equipment under the influence of alco-
hol or drugs.
• Keep all screws, nuts and bolts tight.
• Engine should be turned off and cool, spark plug wire must be
removed from spark plug before any repairs are attempted.
• Temperature of muffler and nearby areas may exceed 150º F (65º
C). Avoid these areas.
• Never run engine indoors or in an enclosed area. Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.
• If the ice auger becomes unturnable in a hole, turn engine off and

ENGINE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Warning Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engines contain carbon monoxide in their exhaust. Carbon
monoxide is a deadly, colorless, tasteless, odorless gas which
may be present even if you do not smell or see any engine
exhaust. Levels of carbon monoxide, which can be deadly,
can be present for days in an enclosed area that has poor
ventilation. Any level of carbon monoxide, if inhaled, can cause
headaches, drowsiness, nausea, dizziness, confusion and
eventually death. If you experience any of these symptons,
seek fresh air and medical attention immediately.
Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
• Never run engine indoors.
• Never try to ventilate engine exhaust indoors. Carbon mon-
oxide can reach dangerous levels very quickly.
• Never run engine outdoors where exhaust fumes may be
pulled into a building.
• Never run engine outdoors in a poorly ventilated area
where the exhaust fumes may be trapped and not easily
taken away. (Examples include: in a large hole or areas
where hills surround your working area.)
• Never run engine in an enclosed or partially enclosed area.
(Examples include: buildings that are enclosed on one or
more sides, under tents, car ports or basements.)
• Always run the engine with the exhaust and muffler pointed
in the direction away from the operator.
• Never point the exhaust muffler towards anyone. People
should always be many feet away from the operation of the
engine and its attachments.
Gasoline Fires or Handling Fuel Safely
Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable. Never use fuel
where a spark or flame may be present. Never use fuel where
a potential source of ignition could occur. (Examples include:
water or space heaters, clothes dryer, electric motors, etc.)
Keep flames and sparks away from engine and fuel to prevent
fires. Fuel fires spread very quickly and are highly explosive.
Prevention of Gasoline Fires
• Never fill your fuel tank with fuel indoors. (Examples
include: basement, garage, barn, shed, house, porch, ice
shelter, etc.)
• Always fill fuel tank outside in a well ventilated area.
• Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine run-
ning. Stop engine and allow to cool before filling.
• Never drain fuel from engine in an enclosed area.
• Always wipe up excess (spilled) fuel from engine before
starting. Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
• Allow spilled fuel to dry, after wiping and before starting.
• Allow fuel fumes/vapors to escape from the area before
starting engine.
• Test the fuel cap for proper installation before starting and
using engine.
• Always run the engine with fuel cap properly installed on
the engine.
• Replace fuel cap that allows gas to spill or leak.
• Never smoke while refilling engine fuel tank.
• Prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric
discharge. Use only non-metal, portable fuel containers
approved by the Underwriter’s Laboratory (U.L.) or the
American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM).
• Do not store engine with fuel in fuel tank indoors. Fuel and
fuel vapors are highly explosive.
• Never pour fuel from engine fuel tank.
• Never siphon fuel by mouth to drain fuel tank.
• Always have an adult fill the fuel tank.
• Never allow an adult or anyone under the influence of
drugs or alcohol to fill the fuel tank.
• Never allow children to fill the fuel tank.
BURNS AND FIRES
The muffler, muffler guard and other parts of the engine be-
come extremely hot during the operation of the engine. These
parts remain extremely hot after the engine has stopped.
Prevention of Burns and Fires
• Never remove the muffler guard from the engine.
• Never touch the muffler guard because it is extremely hot
and will cause severe burns.
• Never touch parts of the engine that become hot after
operation.
• Always keep materials and debris away from muffler guard
and other hot parts of the engine to avoid fires.

Filling Gas Tank
1. Shut-off engine and allow engine to completely cool before refill-
ing the gas tank.
2. Move to a well ventilated area, outdoors, away from flames and
sparks.
3. Clean debris from area around the gas cap.
4. Loosen gas cap slowly. Place the cap on a clean, dry surface.
5. Carefully add fuel without spilling.
6. Do not fill gas tank completely full, allow space for fuel to ex-
pand.
7. Immediately replace gas cap and tighten. Wipe off spilled fuel
and allow to dry before starting engine.
NORMAL OPERATION
1. The clutch will transfer maximum power after about two hours
of normal operation. During this break-in period clutch slippage
may occur. The clutch should be kept free of oil or other mois-
ture for efficient operation.
2. Drill holes without placing excessive body weight on the unit.
The auger operates most efficiently with a shaving action
caused by the weight of the unit itself.
3. Never run engine indoors. Exhaust fumes are deadly.
4. Do not use an ice auger in the earth.
5. The ice auger blade protector should be attached to the auger
head when not in use. This will protect the cutting edge of the
ice auger blades.
6. To attach auger to powerhead if not done, align hole at top of
shaft with output shaft hole. Insert bolt and secure bolt with
provided allen wrench.
NOTE: The ends of the bolt should be flush with auger col-
lar. Bolt head and thread end should never go beyond ice
collar.
USING THE SCREW TYPE, MANUAL VENTING GAS
CAP
Your power ice auger is equipped with a screw type, manual venting
gas cap.
1. Before starting the engine, turn the screw in the top of the gas
cap all the way open (counterclockwise) to its venting position.
To ensure that gas will not spill during use, check that the gas
cap is screwed on tightly and the gas cap screw is in the venting
position.
2. After using the power ice auger and before putting away or
transporting it in a vehicle, screw the gas cap screw on (clock-
wise) tightly. This will prevent gas from leaking during storage.
The gas cap will not leak gas during storage if the gas cap is
tight and the screw at the top is tight.
NOTE: When storing unit for prolonged periods of time in
warm weather, vent gas cap to prevent gas from leaking
from carburetor.
