FLEX – 24V Cordless 3-in-1 Mini Polisher | FX3361

1. Select the operating mode: choose the rotary, free orbital, or forced orbital adapter depending on the level of correction and the type of work to be performed.
2. Install the backing plate and pad: select a compatible 1, 2, or 3-inch backing plate and attach a polishing pad suitable for the surface, drive mode, and product being used.
3. Prepare the tool: install a compatible FLEX 24V battery and check that the adapters and accessories are properly attached.
4. Set the speed: use the electronic touch control to select one of the 14 available settings, starting with a speed appropriate for the task.
5. Perform the polishing: work in small sections while keeping the pad properly positioned on the surface and applying controlled pressure.
6. Inspect the surface: use the integrated light and its three color temperatures to identify imperfections and check the quality of the correction.
7. Finish the task: turn off the tool completely, remove the battery before changing the accessories, and clean the pads after use.

Caution: always use backing plates and pads compatible with the selected mode. Avoid excessive pressure and never leave a pad spinning stationary on the paint. When changing the adapter or backing plate, remove the battery and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

1. What makes the FLEX FX3361 24V unique?

The FX3361 combines three drive modes in a single tool: rotary, free orbital, and forced orbital. This design allows you to perform different correction and finishing steps without having to use several separate polishers. Its tool-free quick change system also makes it easy to replace adapters and backing plates.

2. What is the difference between the three polishing modes?

The rotary mode provides direct action that is particularly suited for localized corrections. The free orbital mode offers a smoother movement, making it practical for correction and finishing. The forced orbital mode maintains orbital movement under load, which can be advantageous for corrections requiring more consistent action.

3. What pad sizes can be used?

The FLEX FX3361 accepts 1, 2, and 3-inch backing plates, allowing you to use polishing pads suited for different applications. The choice of size depends on the area being worked, the selected drive mode, and the accessory manufacturer's recommendations.

4. Can the speed be adjusted during use?

Yes. The electronic touch control allows you to change the speed directly on the tool, even with nitrile gloves. The 14 available settings make it easy to adapt the speed to different operations, while the LED display and locking system help maintain precise control.

5. What does the FLEX FX3361-2A kit include, and what is its warranty?

The FX3361-2A kit includes the mini polisher, two 24V 2.5 Ah lithium-ion batteries, a 160 W fast charger, a carrying bag, a 2-inch extension, the adapters required for the three drive modes, and several 1, 2, and 3-inch polishing pads. The FLEX limited warranty is 3 years and can be extended to 5 years by registering the tool, batteries, and charger within 30 days of purchase, subject to the manufacturer's terms.
