My Flex's Backing Plate is Shredding on Me
Anyone else have this issue? When I use the Flex for a while on speed 6, it begins to tear into the backing plate and little pieces begin to shred off of it

Make sure you have the screw in the middle tightened completely, if not it'll rock back and forth enough to shred it.

Re: My Flex's Backing Plate is Shredding on Me
when I went to change out my new backing plate after Powerehouse replaced it, I found the screw was not very tight. Maybe that is the issue. Probably best to hand check tightness before each use.
(is that one of those things that sounds dirty but is not---LOL)

Re: My Flex's Backing Plate is Shredding on Me
Thanks OCKlasse! I'll give that a shot instead.
Jerry Fisher - I tightened the screw on mine. It did not help.

Re: My Flex's Backing Plate is Shredding on Me
Alright, I talked to Power House and they are sending me a new BP and felt ring. That's probably the easiest warranty experience I've ever had.
