Caution: Ice Auger Blades are extremely sharp and should be handled with caution.
Check and tighten the two screws on each blade. Ensure the screws are tight and will not come loose.

Keep your blade guard attached to the auger when not in use. The blade guard protects you, and protects your blades from unnecessary wear.
