You have to twist the top to use it--unfortunately, you can't just walk away from it.

It's not a button. When you twist the lid on; you just twist it a little further to chop. But no you cant turn it on and walk away, you have to hold it until it's done. It's chops super fast though and I'm pretty sure that's a safety feature.

You have to hold and twist lid to use-however, it is so fast that I only have to hold for several seconds

You have to hold it. Safety feature. So when you let go it turns off. I have arthritis & it was okay for me. I had to stand in bed of my truck & hold it over my head to cut the tall thick shrubs. I was very happy with it.

Push the 2 buttons, at same time. Let go of the start button, & it continues to run, just like holding the bar up on push mower. let go of all buttons & it stops.

You have to hold down the button. As an iron it is great. We use it in a phot studio for geting clothes ready for photograhy. They last forever

You hold the button down for as long as you need it. That way you can fill a mug or a teapot or whatever.

Its the locking mechanism to let you lock the blade in the down position so you can take it apart and toss it in the dish washer. To use it you have to push the handle down all the way so the blades come out and then switch the button to the other side. Should lock the blades in place.

Actually as you are mowing along it doesn't really kick in until you push in on the handle. I am not sure if you could disengage it or not. If you don't think you need it buy the one without it because it is cheaper.

You have to hold the button in. Unfortunately it doesn't have an on/off button or switch.

No, it does not lock so to operate, slide the switch on top and squeeze the handle. Once the handle is released, it shuts off. It feels comfortable to me.

Hi I have had no problem. You have to keep the button pressed down while turning, Best Wishes.

You hold down the button for a few seconds until it comes on. Also most of the time once you're done your workout most of these will reset to zero if not used for a period of time, this one stays and continues from where you started the next time you go to workout, so you have to hold down again to reset for next workout. It threw me off when I first started using too.

Either way. Change the "lever" on the left side to Timer and then hold down the button until you get close to the time you need, let up and press it one number at a time. If you go over what you want you have to start over. That's the only drawback. Otherwise I find this my favorite timer and carry it with me so I never miss what I'm timing and don't have to hover over what I'm cooking. Love it and hope you do or will too.

I can't imagine you are too weak. With mine, you turn the black top piece in one direction to pop it up for use, and push it down and turn it the other direction to lock it when not in use. When in the popped up position, you don't turn it to chop. You push it down. (See previous comment about what to do if food gets stuck)

You need to hold the button down. I prefer this to a "double click" approach.

No need to hold the button down. You click it once, it turns on in the last mode you used (strong, medium, strobe). If you quickly click again, it cycles through the modes. If you wait for about a second to the next click, it turns off.

You have to press the button and lock it. It does not have the automatic locking feature.
