• Equipamento de Proteção Individual (EPI): Always wear appropriate safety gear, including safety glasses, hearing protection, heavy-duty gloves, and sturdy footwear. Long pants and sleeves are recommended.
• Manuseio de combustível: The EB2000 uses a 2-stroke petrol engine. Handle fuel (petrol and 2-stroke oil mixture) with extreme care. Mix fuel in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources. Do not smoke while refueling.
• Área de trabalho: Ensure the work area is clear of bystanders, especially children and pets. Check for underground cables, pipes, or other obstructions before drilling.
• Operação: The earth auger is designed for two-person operation to maintain control and stability. Never operate the auger alone. Maintain a firm grip on both handles.
• Segurança do motor: Never operate the engine indoors or in poorly ventilated areas due to carbon monoxide fumes. Allow the engine to cool before refueling or performing maintenance.
• Prevenção de Subornos: Be prepared for sudden kickback if the auger bit strikes a hard object or gets jammed. Release the throttle immediately.
• Manutenção: Desconecte o cabo da vela de ignição antes de realizar qualquer manutenção ou limpeza para evitar partidas acidentais.

4.2 Mistura de Combustíveis

The EB2000 is powered by a 2-stroke engine and requires a specific fuel mixture. Refer to the engine's label or manual for the exact ratio, typically 1:40 (2.5% oil) or 1:50 (2% oil) petrol to 2-stroke engine oil. Use fresh, unleaded petrol with an octane rating of 90 RON or higher and high-quality 2-stroke engine oil designed for air-cooled engines.

• Misture o combustível em um recipiente separado e aprovado para combustível.
• Pour the correct amount of 2-stroke oil into the container, then add the petrol.
• Agite o recipiente suavemente para garantir uma mistura completa.
• Fill the auger's fuel tank carefully, avoiding spills. Do not overfill.

5. Instruções de operação

5.1 Ligando o motor

1. Coloque a broca em uma superfície plana e estável.
2. Ensure the ignition switch is in the 'ON' position.
3. Set the choke lever to the 'CLOSED' (cold start) position.
4. Pressione a pera de escorva várias vezes até que o combustível fique visível na linha de retorno.
5. Puxe a corda de arranque com firmeza e suavidade até que o motor tente ligar (geralmente de 1 a 3 puxões).
6. Once the engine 'pops' or briefly starts, move the choke lever to the 'OPEN' position.
7. Puxe a corda de arranque novamente até que o motor ligue e funcione suavemente.
8. Deixe o motor aquecer por alguns instantes antes de acionar o acelerador.

5.2 Técnica de perfuração

Figure 3: Proper two-person operation of the earth auger for stability and control.

• Always operate the auger with two people, each holding a handle firmly.
• Posicione a broca helicoidal sobre o local de perfuração desejado.
• Slowly increase the throttle to engage the auger bit.
• Apply steady, downward pressure as the auger drills into the soil. Avoid excessive force.
• Periodically lift the auger slightly to clear loose soil from the hole and prevent jamming.
• If the auger jams, immediately release the throttle and turn off the engine. Carefully remove the auger from the hole.

5.3 Parando o motor

To stop the engine, simply move the ignition switch to the 'OFF' position.

6. Manutenção

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your earth auger.

• Limpeza: After each use, clean the auger bit and power head of dirt and debris. Use a damp cloth for the engine housing.
• Filtro de ar: Check and clean the air filter regularly, especially in dusty conditions. A dirty air filter can reduce engine performance.
• Vela de ignição: Inspecione a vela de ignição periodicamente. Limpe-a ou substitua-a se estiver suja ou gasta.
• Sistema de combustível: For long-term storage (over 30 days), drain the fuel tank and run the engine until it stops to clear the carburetor of fuel. This prevents fuel degradation and gumming.
• Broca helicoidal: Inspect the auger bit for wear or damage. Sharpen or replace as needed.
