REPLACEMENT BLADE - Improper or difficult cutting may be due to dull or
damaged drill teeth or drill point. Maintain sharp blade teeth and point.
Preserve the original factory cutting angles when sharpening your drill. File
blade teeth and use a disk sander to sharpen the point. Only genuine Jiffy®
blade teeth are to be used.
SERVICE & REPAIR INFORMATION
BLADE TEETH REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS – When replacing blade
teeth, the beveled edge of teeth and the head of the capscrews should face
the ice. The stamped part number on the teeth should face away from the
ice, as shown in the diagram. Use two 7/16” wrenches to remove the
capscrews. When attaching blades, finger tighten all fasteners, then full

IMPORTANT NOTE: TRANSPORTING YOUR JIFFY ICE
DRILL
When transporting your Jiffy Ice Drill on an ATV or
snowmobile, it is extremely important to follow these
instructions and use caution to avoid damage to the
power head (engine and transmission) or related
equipment:
There are many after-market ice drill carrier mounting
systems to choose from. Make sure the carrier system
you purchase or use has the proper support for the
power head. Many systems are designed to only
support and mount to the lower drill assembly. This
leaves the power head unsupported. This situation will
result in major damage to the engine and transmission.
Take the necessary steps insure proper support of the
power head as noted above. If the power head is not
properly supported during transportation, this will void
the limited warranty and all repairs or replacement cost s
will be the responsibility of the owner. Purchase the
correct carrier mounting system and exercise extreme
caution when transporting the auger.
NOTE: To further protect your power head when
transporting, make sure the power head is covered to
minimize any snow or ice build-up or accumulation on
any of the functional engine parts, such as the
carburetor, throttle, or throttle cable assemblies. Jiffy
has an accessory power head cover (Jiffy #4022) to
protect the power head from these types of conditions
and can be purchased at most retail locations.
