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.
