Replacing the protective hood
The protective hood has a retainer. This
must be reinstalled following replacement of
the protective hood.
Brush ring
The protective hood features a brush ring.
This ring fulfils two functions:
– Since the brush ring protrudes over the
surface of the sanding plate, it is the first
thing to come into contact with the work
surface. This brings the sanding plate
into position parallel with the work
surface before the abrasive makes
contact with the work surface. It prevents
any ruts being cut into the surface by the
edge of the sanding plate.
– The ring holds back dust before it is
extracted by the vacuum cleaner.
If the brush ring is damaged or exhibits
excessive signs of wear, it should be
renewed. A replacement brush set is
available from any FLEX customer
service centre.
Rubber suction ring
If the rubber suction ring is damaged or
exhibits signs of excessive wear, it should
be renewed.
A replacement suction ring is available from
any FLEX customer service centre.
