Operation - Scheppach EB2000 Translation Of Original Instruction Manual

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 appropri-
ate 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.
• 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 position, the air-petrol-mixture
is enriched for the motor's cold start. The
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 ad-
justed. If the idling mixture is a little too high (the boring
head turn by itself in idle mode), the idling mixture can
be reduced by slowly turning the screw anti-clockwise.
Warning! Other work on the carburettor must be car-
ried out by a specialist.

8. Operation

m ATTENTION!
Always make sure the device is fully assembled
before commissioning!
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.
• Do not work by yourself, someone has to be close in
case of emergencies.
• Hold on to the earth auger with both hands when
working.
• Ensure you have a safe position, during the drilling
process as well.
• Do not lean too far forwards when working.
• Check for a flawless idling mode. The auger must
position not rotate in idling mode when the motor is warm.
• Immediately turn off the motor when you can feel
changes to the machine's behaviour.
• Do not place the hot auger in dry grass or on flam-
mable objects (fire risk!).
• Drill the hole in the ground in several sections so you
can remove the soil in between.
• Keep the auger vertical, do not twist it!
• Always secure bore holes, otherwise there is a risk
of injury!
• Exclusively drill holes in soil with the earth auger.
• Other applications are not permitted.
