The little all-rounder: handy, flexible and powerful

Whether cropping cable ducts, cutting profiles to length or notching tiles and directly extracting the resulting dust - the new little "all-rounder" by FLEX is the ideal super tool for a wide range of tasks and materials. Thanks to its compact dimensions of just 240 x 117 x 60 mm and its weight of less than one kilo (without battery), the LBE 76 12-EC is particularly handy and versatile. This makes it the first choice for electricians, fitters and specialists in the fields of heating, plumbing and air conditioning, painters and the automotive sector.

Developed with craftsmen for craftsmen

Craftsmen know best what craftsmen need. The LBE 76 12-EC was therefore developed in close co-operation with tradesmen in order to meet practical requirements. Tilers, drywall installers, plumbers, electricians and car body builders contributed their experience to create a device that is precisely tailored to the needs of a wide range of trades. And FLEX then realised this development order with the following technical highlights.

Innovative technology for maximum comfort

The technical highlights of the LBE 76 12-EC set new standards in the 12 volt appliance class:

  • Anti-kick-back function and brake: For maximum safety when working.

  • Rotating head: For 90/180 degree rotation, which makes it easier to switch between cutting and grinding functions. A sliding unlocking mechanism provides safe locking. Special touch for left-handed users: the head can also be locked on the right-hand side for cutting.

  • Forward and return flow: For controlling flying sparks and as an ideal adaptation option for various cutting requirements such as pushing or pulling cuts when "flexing".

  • LED lamp: For optimum visibility even in poorly lit areas, such as when working in cable ducts.

  • Suction device: A clip system on the protective cover for easy dust extraction.

  • Cutting depth up to 22 mm: Ideal for small profiles, round tubes and more.

  • Additional gear reduction: For greater torque and improved cutting performance.

Flexible and variable - a true super tool

The new cordless angle grinder impresses with its versatility: In addition to classic metal cutting work, the LBE 76 12-EC can also cut wood and plastic with equal ease using the multi-material carbide disc included in the delivery. That's why it is also the ideal super tool for painters, drywallers and renovation specialists, and for traditional caretakers. Tilers can cut notches with a diamond disc and vacuum the resulting dust at the same time.

With a variable speed adjustment in four stages - 5,000, 10,000, 15,000 or 20,000 rpm - the LBE 76 12-EC can be optimally adapted to a wide range of materials. A lower cutting speed reduces the "charring" of wood and the melting of plastic edges.

A positive side effect of this: the battery runtime is extended accordingly.

This means that the new FLEX LBE 76 12-EC cordless angle grinder is not only a powerful companion, but also a tool that makes everyday work easier and more efficient.

Safety features for operator and machine

The LBE 76 12-EC has comprehensive safety features that protect both the user and the appliance itself. They include a soft start, restart and overload protection, and temperature monitoring. In addition, anti-kickback, a brake, forward and reverse motion and a spindle stop ensure safe and controlled handling. The integrated LED light also provides additional safety thanks to improved visibility in dark working areas.
