Instructions d'installation

1. Installation d'une fraise à défoncer

1. Assurez-vous que le routeur est débranché de la source d'alimentation.
2. Appuyez sur le bouton de verrouillage de la broche et maintenez-le enfoncé.
3. Desserrez l'écrou de serrage à l'aide de la clé fournie.
4. Insert the shank of the 1/4-inch router bit into the collet, ensuring at least 3/4 of the shank is seated.
5. Tighten the collet nut firmly with the wrench while holding the spindle lock. Do not overtighten.

2. Attaching Guides and Dust Duct

• Edge & Circle Guide: Slide the guide rods into the designated holes in the router base and secure with the locking screws. Adjust the guide to the desired distance from the bit.
• Dust Collection Duct: Attach the dust collection duct to the router's exhaust port. Connect a vacuum hose to the duct for efficient dust extraction.

Mode d'emploi

1. Setting the Variable Speed

The Lotos ER001 features a variable speed control dial (16,000-30,000 RPM). Adjust the dial to select the appropriate speed for your material and router bit. Lower speeds are generally used for larger diameter bits, harder materials, or when more control is needed. Higher speeds are suitable for smaller bits and softer materials.

2. Adjusting Plunge Depth

1. Placez la défonceuse sur une surface plane, la fraise effleurant à peine la pièce à usiner.
2. Desserrez le levier de verrouillage du plongeur.
3. Use the depth adjustment rod and 7-stop turret to set the desired routing depth. The micro-adjustment knob allows for fine-tuning. The maximum plunge depth is 2 inches.
4. Once the depth is set, firmly secure the plunge lock lever.

3. Techniques de routage

• Routage en plongée : For internal cuts or starting a cut in the middle of a workpiece, unlock the plunge mechanism, lower the bit into the material, and then engage the plunge lock.
• Fixed Routing: For edge work or consistent depth cuts, lock the plunge mechanism at the desired depth before starting the cut.
• Sens d'alimentation : Always feed the router against the rotation of the bit to maintain control and prevent kickback.
• Gardez le contrôle : Hold the router firmly with both hands on the rubber-covered handles during operation.

Entretien

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Lotos ER001 router.

• Nettoyage: After each use, unplug the tool and clean dust and debris from the motor housing, vents, and base using a soft brush or compressed air. Ensure the dust collection system is clear.
• Remplacement des balais de charbon : The router is equipped with external brush caps for easy access. When the motor performance decreases or excessive sparking occurs, inspect and replace the carbon brushes as needed. Always replace both brushes at the same time.
• Inspection du cordon : Regularly inspect the power cord for any damage, cuts, or fraying. Replace damaged cords immediately.
• Stockage: Store the router in a dry, secure location out of reach of children.
