3 dB Limit the noise and vibration to a minimum!

• Only use appliances which are in perfect working order.

• Service and clean the appliance regularly.

• Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.

• Do not overload the appliance.

• Have the appliance serviced whenever necessary.

• Switch the appliance o󰀨 when it is not in use.

• Wear protective gloves.

• Leave the machine to cool down before carrying out modications or repairs and always remove the spark plug cap.

• Do not use petrol or solvents for cleaning. Risk of explosion! Refuelling: Note: Two-stroke motor, mixing ratio 1:40 FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS! Be careful and cautious when handling fuels.

• The engine must be switched o󰀨!

• Thoroughly clean the area around the caps, to pre- vent dirt from getting into the fuel or oil tank.

• Unscrew the cap and ll the tank with fuel (fuel/oil mixture) or chain oil as the case may be. Fill up to the bottom edge of the ller neck.

• Be careful not to spill fuel or chain oil!

• Tighten the tank cap as far as it will go.

• After refuelling, clean the tank cap and surround- ings and make sure the cap is sealed! NOTE: Always pre-mix the intended oil volume in half of the fuel volume to produce the fuel/oil mixture and then add the remaining fuel volume. Shake the nished mixture well before lling the mixture into the auger. It is not wise to add more engine oil than speci- ed to ensure safe operation. This will only result in a higher production of combustion residues which will pollute the environment and clog the exhaust channel in the cylinder as well as the mu󰀪er. In addition, fuel consumption will rise and performance will decrease. The storage of fuel Fuels have a limited storage life. Fuel and fuel mix- tures age through evaporation, especially at high temperatures. Aged fuel and fuel mixtures can cause starting problems and damage the engine.Purchase only that amount of fuel, which will be consumed over the next few months. At high temperatures, once fuel has been mixed it should be used up in 6-8 weeks. Store fuel only in proper containers, in dry, cool, secure locations! Avoid skin and eye contact! Mineral oil products degrease your skin. If your skin comes in contact with these substances repeatedly and for an extended period of time, it will desiccate. Various skin deseases may result. In addition, aller- gic reactions are known to occur. Eyes can be irritated by contact with oil. If oil comes into your eyes, immediately wash them with clear wa- ter. If your eyes are still irritated, see a doctor imme- diately! Check fuel lines, fuel tank cap and fuel tank for leak- ages or tears.www.scheppach.com

The position is used for the operation of the motor and for a warm start. Idle setting screw (g. 3) Using screw (D), 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.

Before commissioning, it is important that you know and follow the safety notices. For all work on the earth auger, you must turn o󰀨 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-tting clothes in order to prevent injuries. Before commissioning, it is important that you know and follow the safety notices

Assembly For packaging reasons, your machine has not been assembled completely. m Attention! Always make sure the product is fully assembled before commissioning! Inserting the earth auger (g. 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 driving pin (A).

• Secure with split pin (B) and slightly bend it. Fuelling (g. 1)

• Open the fuel tank cap (15).

• Pour in the fuel mixture using a funnel.

• Do not ll 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 research 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.

• 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 rst. Never refuel the machine in a building where the petrol fumes can reach ames or sparks.

• Petrol is highly ammable and explosive. When handling fuel, you may su󰀨er burns or other severe injuries.

• Turn o󰀨 the motor and keep away from heat, sparks and ames.

• Only ever refuel outside.

• Wipe up spilled petrol straight away. Starter cord (g. 1) Pulling the cord (9) starts the motor. Choke lever (g. 3) The choke lever (C) closes and opens the choke in the carburettor. In the position, the air-petrol-mix- ture is enriched for the motor‘s cold start.www.scheppach.com

Maintenance For all work on the machine, the spark plug cap and the spark plug have to be removed (high voltage). Please adhere to the maintenance schedule. Daily before beginning work Check fuel tank and fuel lines for tightness. Check mounting parts, exhaust cover, air lter cover, oil, position of the auger and functioning of the oper- ating elements. After 20 operating hours Clean air lter and check spark plug After 100 operating hours Clean fuel tank and replace spark plug After 300 operating hours Replace air lter Important notice in the event of repairs: When sending earth augers to be repaired, please note that, for safety reasons, they must be delivered to the service station free from oil and petrol. Warning! No smoking and no open re. Risk of explosion. Air lter (g. 4 - 5) Regular cleaning of the air lter prevents carburettor malfunctions. Cleaning the air lter and replacing the air lter insert:
