Pre-Use Procedure

Before using your Jiffy Power Ice Drill to drill holes in ice, follow this
procedure to prepare for proper and correct use.

 Carefully examine your Jiffy Power Ice Drill for hidden

shipping damage. If any external damage is observed to the
Jiffy Power Ice Drill, contact Feldmann Engineering.

 Find, read and understand your Jiffy operators manual.

Contact your Jiffy dealer or Feldmann Engineering if you do
not understand any of the instructions in this manual.

 Assemble the components of your Jiffy Power Ice Drill as

indicated in the Assembly of Drill section of this manual.
Leave the Jiffy Blade Protector on the drill assembly and
make certain it is securely fastened.

DO NOT RETURN your Jiffy Lectric™ Drill TO THE RETAILER THAT
SOLD IT TO YOU. THEY ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO PROVIDE
REPAIRS OR WARRANTY REPLACEMENT unless they are an
authorized Jiffy warranty station. If you have any questions concerning
the authorization of a service station, contact Feldmann Engineering.

Jiffy E-Z Connect™ Collar

Connect drill assembly to powerhead by sliding E-Z Connect™ Collar
down and pulling clevis pin out. Then slide drill assembly onto output
shaft. Reinsert clevis pin through drill assembly and output shaft, then
slide E-Z Connect™ Collar up to lock pin in place.
Note: Do not remove clevis pin from collar tether.

External Battery Information

The JIFFY LECTRIC requires a 12 volt, deep cycle, lead acid battery.
Jiffy recommends an AGM battery.

The power source should be chosen carefully. The battery directly
affects the performance of the drill. A battery that is too small or in
poor condition will reduce power and cycle time.

The battery should be fully charged before every use. This will
ensure maximum performance from both your JIFFY LECTRIC power
ice drill and the battery.

Use the included Jiffy part #3917, 8 ft Connection Cable to connect to
an external battery.

Replacement Blade

Improper 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. For professional service see your
Jiffy service center. Only genuine Jiffy blade teeth are to be used.
