Operating instructions
WARNING!
Remove the battery before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
Before switching on the power tool
Unpack the polisher and check that there are

pull out the battery. (see figure D)
CAUTION!
When the device is not in use, protect the
battery contacts. Loose metal parts may short-
circuit the contacts; explosion and fire hazard!
Battery state of charge
■ Press the button to check the state of charge
at the state of charge indicator LEDs 7.
The indicator goes out after 5 seconds. If
one of the LEDs flashes, the battery must be
recharged. If none of the LEDs light up after the
button is pressed, the battery is faulty and must
be replaced.

Attaching the tools
CAUTION!
Attach tools centrally on tool holder. Imbalances
may damage the power tool. The work result
may be impaired.
NOTE
Use original FLEX accessories on this model.
Not using original FLEX accessories may lead
to a poor polishing result, increased vibrations
and also greater wear or even damage to the
power tool.
Information concerning foam wear
NOTE
In general, foam wear is much higher in
connection with free-wheeling eccentric
polishing that with rotational polishing or force-
driven eccentric polishing.
Due to the drive, this wear does not take place
on the outside of the foam but at the foam core
instead. The harder/longer the cell structure is
subjected to strain and damaged as a result,
the faster the build-up of heat. Subsequent
damage is inevitable. Wear of this kind cannot
be seen on the foam externally. The only
reliable action is replacement and disposal in
good time to prevent thermal damage to the
power tool.
Switching on and off (see figure F)
Brief operation without engaged switch rocker
■ Push the switch rocker 3 forwards and
engage by pressing the front end.
■ To switch off the power tool,release the
switch rocker by pressing the rear end.
Preselecting the speed
■ To set the operating speed, press the
speed control button 2. Selected speed is
maintained even when switching off. With
the exception of level 4, this always goes
back to level 3 after switching off (safety).
■ Gently press the switch to accelerate the
power tool up to the preselected speed.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to destruction of the tool. Use
the appropriate tool for the job.
NOTE
In the event of overload or overheating in non-
stop operation, the power tool will switch off.
