Operation; Electrical Connection - Scheppach MTE460 Original Bedienungsanleitung

Laying the power cord (fig. 6, 7)
Mount the cable and the cable guide (11) on the low-
er right bar (4) and (in the working direction) bar (3)
by pushing them on.
Install the transport aid (fig. 8, 9)
Remove the pre-assembled split pin (16) and the
washer (15). Place the wheel (7) on the wheel holder
(14). Secure it with the washer (15) and the split pin
(16). Then mount the wheel cap (8). (Assembly is
identical on both sides)
Blade roller installing / uninstalling (fig. 11)
Push the blade roller (6) on the drive shaft (20) of the
machine. The blade roller (6) can be mounted left or
right side. Be sure that the holes of the blade roller
(6) and the drive shaft (20) are aligned.
Now the M8 screw (18) is pushed through and se-
cured with the M8 locking nut (19).
Tighten the lock nut (19) hand-tight using a fork
wrench or ratchet with socket (the tools are not in-
cluded).
For uninstall: Proceed in reverse order.

8. Operation

Start and stop the implement (fig. 7)
To prevent an accidental start-up of the implement,
the throttle handle (1) is equipped with a safety re-
lease switch (12) which must be pressed before the
On/Off switch (13) can be pressed. If the On/Off
switch (13) is released, the equipment switches off.
Repeat this process several times so that you are
sure that the machine functions properly. Before you
perform any repair or maintenance work on the ma-
chine, ensure that the cutting unit is not rotating and
that the power supply is disconnected. Always ensure
that a safe distance (provided by the long handles) is
maintained between the user and the housing.
The safety distance between housing and user given
by the handle (1) must always be observed. Be espe-
cially careful when digging and changing direction on
slopes and inclines.
Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy, non-slip
footwear and long trousers. Always dig along the in-
cline (not up and down). For safety reasons, the Elec-
tric Tiller may not be used to dig up inclines whose
gradient exceeds 15 degrees. Use special caution
when backing up and pulling the implement (tripping
hazard)!
Tips for proper working
Always guide the machine slowly and wisely forward.
Dig up the area in straight lines. Let the tracks overlap
slightly to not miss any stripes to dig. Only use the
machine to dig up already loosened soil.

Transport and storage (fig. 10, 12)
Always pull out the power cord before transporting!
Pull the lock pin (17). You can now move the wheels
(7) to the lower position. Make sure that the lock pin
(17) engages again in the lower position. (fig. 10)
m Attention! The wheels must be fixed in the upper
position during operation!
For storage or transport in a limited space, proceed
as follows:
Open the wing nuts (10) until you can fold the handles
forward. Attention! Danger of crushing your fingers.
Now you can transport your machine with the trans-
port handle (3).
So you can storage the machine too.

9. Electrical connection

The electrical motor installed is connected and
ready for operation. The connection complies
with the applicable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer's mains connection as well as
the extension cable used must also comply with
these regulations.
Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is of-
ten damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Passage points, where connection cables are
passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been im-
properly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut
due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the
wall outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not
be used and are life-threatening due to the insula-
tion damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage
regularly. Make sure that the connection cable does
not hang on the power network during the inspection.
Electrical connection cables must comply with the
applicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use con-
nection cables with the marking „H05VV-F".
The printing of the type designation on the connec-
tion cable is mandatory.
AC motor
• The mains voltage must be ~230-240 V / 50 Hz
• Extension cables up to 25 m in length must have
a cross section of at least 1,5 mm² , above 25 m
at least 2,5 mm²
• The mains connection is protected with a 16 A
slow-blow fuse.
