Before Operation; Operation - Scheppach EB2000 Original Bedienungsanleitung

• Have the appliance serviced whenever necessary.
• Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.
• Wear protective gloves.
Warning!
In case of extended working periods, the operating
personnel may suffer circulatory disturbances in their
hands (vibration white finger) due to vibrations.
Raynaud's syndrome is a vascular disease that caus-
es the small blood vessels on the fingers and toes to
cramp in spasms. The affected areas are no longer
supplied with sufficient blood and therefore appear
extremely pale. The frequent use of vibrating devices
can cause nerve damage in people whose circulation
is impaired (e.g. smokers, diabetics).
If you notice unusual adverse effects, stop working im-
mediately and seek medical advice.
Observe the following information to reduce hazards:
• Keep your body and especially your hands warm in
cold weather.
• Take regular breaks and move your hands to pro-
mote circulation.
• Ensure as little vibration as possible at the machine via
regular maintenance and stable parts on the device.

7. Before operation

Assembly
For packaging reasons, your machine has not been
assembled completely.
Inserting the earth auger (fig. 2)
• Place the motor casing on a work bench. Place the
earth auger (7) on the drive shaft (6), ensuring that
both holes are aligned.
• Insert the locking pin (A).
Fuelling (fig. 1)
• Open the fuel tank cap (15).
• Pour in the fuel mixture using a funnel.
• Do not fill the tank completely as fuel expands.
• Close the fuel tank cap (15) tightly and clean the
area from possibly spilled fuel mixture.
Fuel mixture
The auger's motor is a two-stroke motor. It is driven by
a 1:40 fuel mixture made up of two-stroke oil and fuel.
The fuel requires unleaded ordinary petrol with a re-
search octane count of at least 91. Lubrication of the
motor takes place by adding premium two-stroke oil.
Do not mix the fuel mixture in the fuel tank. Use the
mixing container supplied or another appropriate
container. Only pour the fuel mixture into the fuel tank
after previously mixing and stirring it well.
• Use fresh, clean fuel. Water and contaminants in
the petrol damage the fuel system.
22 | GB
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the motor not
running. If the motor was in use directly prior to re-
fuelling, leave it to cool down first. Never refuel the
machine in a building where the petrol fumes can
reach flames or sparks.
• Petrol is highly flammable and explosive. When
handling fuel, you may suffer burns or other severe
injuries.
• Turn off the motor and keep away from heat, sparks
and flames.
• Only ever refuel outside.
• Wipe up spilled petrol straight away.
Starter cord (fig. 1)
Pulling the cord (9) starts the motor.
Choke lever (fig. 3)
The choke lever (C) closes and opens the choke in
the carburettor. In the
ture is enriched for the motor's cold start. The
sition is used for the operation of the motor and for a
warm start.
Idle setting screw (fig. 3)
Using screw (5), the auger's idling mixture can be
adjusted. If the idling mixture is a little too high (the
boring head turn by itself in idle mode), the idling mix-
ture can be reduced by slowly turning the screw an-
ti-clockwise.
Warning! Other work on the carburettor must be car-
ried out by a specialist.

8. Operation

Before commissioning, it is important that you know
and follow the safety notices.
For all work on the earth auger, you must turn off the
motor, disconnect the spark plug connector and wear
safety gloves. Start the auger only after complete as-
sembly and checking it.
WARNING! Carefully read the safety notices (see
„Safety notices" and additional notices for petrol-pow-
ered machines).
Warning! Wear safety boots and tight-fitting clothes in
order to prevent injuries.
Before commissioning, it is important that you know
and follow the safety notices
• Observe national stipulations during work when us-
ing the auger on public property or paths.
• Keep adults, children and animals away from the
hazardous area.
• Check the working environment for foreign bodies
and remove them.
• When leaving the machine, the motor must always
be turned off.
• Check the earth auger for correct functioning and
its safe operating condition.
