Use and safety of foam seals
The foam seal consists of two parts: the
black foam and the red silicone seal. The
Black rubber foam is mostly used to create
initial vacuum. After it compresses, the red
seal holds the longest and strongest seal.
As long as the initial seal is created to get
suction, the "strong" seal will also be
created. The rubber foam seal uses
patented technology and is one of the main
components of the tool. It should be handled
with caution as it directly impacts the overall
performance and safety.
The seal can withstand an estimated 900
compression cycles, depending on force
and duration of compression, without any
damage.
Avoid rubbing the seal over rough surfaces.
Seal material is very prone to parallel wear
(moving parallel to rough surface in ironing
motion). Lift perpendicularly on very rough
surfaces. Rubbing the seal over a smooth
surface such as granite in the presence of
thick abrasives (thick sand) will damage the
seal and may cause unexpected
detachment.
Surfaces with very sharp edges should not
be lifted in parallel hold. Edges sharper
than 45 degrees may damage the seal and
lead to sudden vacuum loss and sudden
detachment. The motor should always be
on.
Always store the seal covered with a hard
cover. The seal can be easily damaged by
sharp corners and edges when in storage.
The seal should not be stored with any
sharp tools or in contact with any hard
objects (e.g. inside a toolbox).
Do not dip the seal in water. The rubber
foam seal is slightly water absorbent.
Unless it is fully dipped in water and
soaking wet, slightly soaking the seal with
water will not damage its performance. If it
is soaked in water, it can be squeezed by
hand like a sponge to dry without damage.
It is advisable to use a dry seal to avoid
water getting sucked into air ducts and
inside the body.
CAUTION!
Do not dip or use the seal in the presence of
any oil-based products. Oil and oil products
(machine oil + lubricants) will permanently
damage the seal and cannot be removed.
If the seal has absorbed any oil, it should be
disposed of safely, the base should be
cleaned, and the seal replaced.
CAUTION!
Do not use or store the seal in the presence
of chemical solvents. Kerosene, acetone,
turpentine, benzene, acids, etc. and even
their fumes in closed spaces or thin layers
on surfaces can melt the seal and damage
its structure and cause failure.
Safety instructions for handling
batteries
Do not open the battery. Danger of short
circuit.
Protect the battery against heat,
including prolonged sunlight, fire, water
and moisture. Danger of explosion.
A damaged or incorrectly used battery
may result in the emission of fumes.
Ensure a supply of fresh air and consult a
doctor if you feel unwell. The fumes may
irritate the respiratory tracts.
Liquid may leak out of the battery if the
battery is used incorrectly. Avoid contact
with such liquid. In the event of
accidental contact, rinse with water. If
liquid gets into the eyes, seek medical
attention as well. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Use FLEX rechargeable batteries only in
connection with FLEX tools and FLEX
accessories. Only in this way is the
rechargeable battery protected against
dangerous overloads.
Recharge batteries using only chargers
recommended by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of
battery may create a fire hazard if used
with another battery.
The battery could be damaged by pointed
objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by
force exerted on it externally. This may
give rise to an internal short circuit,
causing the battery to burn, smoke,
explode or overheat.
