Just unboxed this auger , charged battery and went out to use it , seems like it cuts out, stops and beeps every so often while angering a hole? That normal ? Seems to work great otherwise
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this ? Guess I don’t know to much about these augers . Thx
Seems to be a normal issue with the 24v. Helps if you just let the auger do the cutting either minimal down pressure. As the blades dull, the issue you’re having will be more frequent. Have not noticed this issue with the 40v.
Not sure this is your problem but many of the 24s were shipped with a coating on the switch. Pull your battery and press your drill button down and roll the button around when it is down it will punch threw that coating.
My buddies was doing the same the other day…like mentioned, they need very minimal pressure. When I used his (I’ve had one for a few years) and applied minimal pressure it would cut straight through.
Mine has only done that rarely when you press down too hard or it’s a bit crooked and you’re catching on edge of hole too much.
Let the auger do the work and in thick ice clear the hole as needed.
They’re super light augers with a small powerhead and battery. Back when I had one it would do 80 holes through 8″ on a charge, nothing incredible but pretty impressive for what it is.
Thanks for the responses I’ll keep the pressure in mind when I go out today and give it a shot!
