The new FLEX Giraffe®Outstanding performance

Unrivalled flexibility

Optimum performance on ceilings and wallsThe success story of the best-selling long-neck sander continues. FLEX is redefining the stand-ards yet again with the new FLEX Giraffe® GE 7. Never before has it been possible to do so many things when effortlessly working on ceilings and walls: even more flexibility in the choice of applications, even greater efficiency when sand-ing, even better technology from the smallest detail to the system as a whole. It is simply unri-valled in every aspect. And has been so for more than 20 years.

Interchangeable sanding head systemThe innovative interchangeable head system enables you to master every task and meet every demand with great flexibility and efficiency. Its high degree of flexibility and ability to rotate facilitate uninterrupted working without damaging the contact surfaces on wall and ceiling. This produc-es clean and precise results and saves an incredible amount of time.

NEW Random-orbital sanding headThe effortless way to achieve perfect surfaces in Q3 and Q4 quality. Coatings and fillers can be sanded efficiently and the user is in complete control.

Segment sanding head with rotating edge segmentCan sand surface transitions between wall and ceiling without the need to inter-rupt the work. This avoids laborious manual work.

Triangular sanding headThe specialist for corners and edges makes it possible to sand transitions between walls and ceilings to a step-free finish.

Round sanding head - rotatingFor standard wall sanding with high removal rate.

Unrivalled handling

The FLEX Giraffe® has always been synonymous with optimum handling and good balance. Yet another reason for us to resolutely continue to develop these characteristics. These include not only the compact, rugged design and the practical details, but in particular the ergo-nomically sensible weight distribution.

The balance-shaft systemThe special arrangement of motor and head gearbox in combination with the tried-and-tested flexible shaft make the FLEX Giraffe® incredibly easy to handle. The balanced design distributes the forces in a sensible way, thus reducing the torsional moment.

Ready in secondsIts practical carrying bag means the FLEX Giraffe® is always ready for use in a couple of seconds - whatever the task. It offers sufficient space for interchangeable heads and accessories and provides a solid tool which no need steps up to the mark under the tough conditions found on a construction site.

The ERGO-max systemOptimum ease of handling is a guiding principle of product development at FLEX. From the spade handle and the ergonomic grip tube through to the arrangement and design of the functional elements, the FLEX Giraffe® GE 7 is optimally adapted to the needs and work processes of painters and dry-wall constructors.

A grip on everything The spade grip has optimised ergonomics and a lever effect which significantly relieves the stress on the back, thus making the FLEX Giraffe® GE 7 secure to hold and control.

Very easy on the backThe FLEX Giraffe® GE 7 has been tested and recommended by experts.

A good feelingThe Giraffe® is even easier to handle thanks to the new oval grip tube. It makes precision work even easier.

Fatigue-free workingThe user benefits from the low weight and the balanced weight dis-tribution of the FLEX Giraffe® GE 7, particularly when working on large areas or for a longer time overhead. This avoids unnecessary physical strain.

5

Flexible adaptationEspecially in demand when working in narrow spaces or on complex surfaces: The gimbal suspension of the sanding heads means that the GE 7 achieves maximum flexibility and creates smooth transitions on all surface geometries. Difficult sections such as corners and edges can be sanded to perfection without having to interrupt the work.

90°

Lateral movementThe GE 7 can be moved from side to side and guided so easily that the force needed to move the sanding head is noticeably reduced. Reworking and corrections to the surface are thus done in no time.

Unrivalled precision

The new generation of the rugged, flexible shaft with its enormous increase in service life creates the basis for this so that the FLEX Giraffe® GE 7 far outstrips other long-neck sanders in terms of power transmission.

Quality leads to precision

Unrivalled in every detail

Since the sander was launched in 1997, FLEX engineers have been working constantly to enhance the pioneer of the long-neck sanders even further. Every subsequent generation of the Giraffe thus represents innovation and better perfected handling on the construction site. The GE 7 has now achieved another mile-stone which makes dry-wall construction work even simpler and more flexible. This is our clear brand promise to all users.

Dust-proof switchThe dust cap prevents the on/off switch from becoming dirty and its operation impaired.

Click connection for the suction hoseThe FLEX Clip system provides safe suction without the need for an adapter. Simply attach the hose of the FLEX vacuum cleaner – and work can begin.

Tool-free extensionAn additional extension tube can be integrated if required with just one click, thus making it possible to work on high walls and ceilings.

Full-wave electronic controlControllable speed can be set to suit the sanding task. Under load, the constant speed is maintained by the full-wave electronic control with overload protection.
