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.
