Is the side-trimmer selectable or always on?

Selectable. Trimmer is activated when pushed out of its slot on the backside of the shaver.

I have an older model with the micro-thin foil that gave a really close shave but the foil nneded replacement and no one has this foil. So I have the newer model which doesn't have the side trimmer. I do wish I could get the micro thin foil replaced as the older model gave a really close shave and the motor still works after 15 years.

Yes but that's a heavy load for any trimmer,once you have it under control keep trimmed regularly .

I have used this trimmer regularly, and i really like it because it cuts clean. I have to admit, it has never scratched or cut me and i have turned it many different angles and always achieve the same result. Tremendous product.

In case anyone else is wondering, NO! This no longer has the adjustment on the actual body of the trimmer. The older version with a NiCad battery had it. They updated it with a NiMH battery, and also got rid of the 3-position adjustment. Too bad, that's why I purchased this in the first place.

This is an excellent trimmer and it has the typical on/off interlock with the handle. Which means that as long as you are simply holding on to the trimmer by the handle, it will run.

John,How do get the trim line to come out of your trimmer's head? Mine requires me to pull the trigger 20 times each time I want to advance it or I have to do it manually.

I has the same question when I purchased mine. The trimmer has the new one.

Yes it is easy to use. You can lock the trimmer in the on position and let your thumb rest and just a gentle touch to the trigger will stop it. I found having the extension handle a back saver for long trimming jobs.

On and off are on the back end on both sides. There are additional adjustments on the left hand side and the laser on/off button. I've owned this for five years and I am on my second replacement. It has now broken at the rail attachment. I would not recommend this product.

The trimmer is not for shaving. I use it a lot to trim hair on the side. I find it better than the clipper. The clipper seems to have a problem with the motor.

I know this feature can be turned on or off, but I can't remember off the top of my head how. All I know is mine always vibrates when it reads the correct yardage. I suggest revueing the owners manual.

It has a "lock out" feature, meaning the trigger cannot be accidentally depressed without first "unlocking" the safety. There is NO provision to keep the trigger depressed while using the trimmer.

Only on the presets with the model I bought. I believe the model up has locks on it that will allow you to cut at any angle.

Once you press both the safety button and power button you can let up on the safety button....then, as long as you do not stop the cutting action, you only have to hold down the power button....I am a woman and have smaller hands.....works for me! This is the best hand clipper I have ever had...love it, despite all the obnoxious safety hoops a person has to jump thru these days.

Yes; like most electrics, there's a button you press to have the sideburn cutter pop open. Hope this helps.

I have not found it difficult to operate these clippers. I have significant arthritis in my hands and can operate them without a problem. The potential for an injury with an off/on switch would be significant I would think. These are BY FAR the best trimmers I have owned!
