I have used mine for a total of 10-12 hours so far on test panels and the shower enclosure..and I just checked the plate to see if i am getting any scruffing like shown and nothing there..I did re-tighten the plate when it arrived as it was not on tight..maybe from the plate replacements they did...
I do not see any need to use any downward pressure also like you do with a PC..I did some nice corrections with just the machine weight...it was heavy marring I induced with a 3m scuff pad....used SIP and 106 and cleared right up and no pressure

I hope so...still waiting for Dwayne's reply. Hopefully, he has some fruitful results from FLEX. My build date is 01/2008, which is consider as the newer batch. I hope FLEX corrected all this problem, before sending out more units to customers.

Re: FLEX XC3401 problem
Add me to the list of effected Flex users.
I experienced the same thing this past Friday. I could smell something burning and then shreds of the backing plate started coming off. Today, I tightened the BP so we'll see if that helps any. My BP is noticeably burned though.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that my Flex came with the newer backing plate. I have a detail tomorrow so I'll see if tightening the BP did any good.

Re: FLEX XC3401 problem
I did not tighten prior to use. Only after I noticed the burning BP.
