FAQ
Are the batteries of the FLEX garden tools interchangeable?
Yes, the batteries in FLEX garden tools are interchangeable because all FLEX garden tools work with 18 V batteries. This means you can use the same battery for the cordless lawn trimmer, the cordless hedge trimmer, the cordless leaf blower and the cordless chainsaw. This intercompatibility gives you maximum flexibility and convenience when using your garden tools. The 18 V batteries are also compatible with all other FLEX 18 V cordless tools such as angle grinders, cordless screwdrivers, drills, jigsaws and over 40 other cordless tools.
What safety functions do FLEX cordless garden tools offer?
The FLEX cordless garden tools incorporate several safety functions. The cordless lawn trimmer and cordless hedge trimmer have an ergonomically shaped soft handle with an On/Off switch and a lock for continuous operation. The cordless leaf blower has an Electronic Management System (EMS) that protects the tool, extends its service life and increases efficiency. The cordless chainsaw offers kickback protection and a chain brake for additional safety during operation.
How do I properly care for and maintain my FLEX cordless garden tools?
In order to maximise the service life and performance of your FLEX cordless garden tools, you need to carry out regular care and maintenance:
Cleaning: Clean the tools thoroughly after each use and remove dirt and residues.
Storage: Store your tools and batteries in a dry, cool place.
Cutting tools: Check the condition of the cutting tools regularly and replace them if necessary.
Battery care: Charge the battery to around 60% if you won’t be using it for an extended period. For longer storage periods, the batteries should be recharged every few months.
These measures will help you ensure the optimum performance and service life of your FLEX cordless garden tools.
What is the advantage of cordless garden tools over petrol-powered ones?
Cordless garden tools are more environmentally-friendly as they don’t produce any direct emissions. They are quieter and so reduce noise pollution, and they require less maintenance as there is no need to change the oil or spark plugs. They are also lighter and easier to operate as there is no need to refill them with petrol. Their operating costs are lower and they offer the flexibility of working in the garden without cables. Cordless garden tools are generally cleaner and easier to store.
