Is there a lock-on button for continuous trimming

Actually my grandson used it to cut down some branches in my yard and I used it to cut some also along with some bushes. It worked well.

No. Just a "safety button", but it is very comfortable to use. Light weight and trims great.

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.

Yes, their is a button located on the handle directly above the trigger which in turn controls the cutting speed of the blade. Simply squeeze the trigger to the desired speed. Hold the trigger in that position while using the thumb depress the the speed lock button. At this point you can release the trigger, and then release the button.

There is a switch you have to push first in order to squeeze the trigger in order to operate it. You have to maintain pressure on the trigger in order for it to run. A lock would not be a safe feature to have on a hedge trimmer.

Yes. After you install them, you trim them before placing the locking device

No, this is a manually operated trimmer. It is perfect for delicate trimming around plants and flowers. It is simple to use, and quiet too!

Just remove the piece you cut, you don't want to lock it up again till you're finished with it for the day...

The unit I have has two trimmer lines, and if you measure the length and cut as per instructions, it is not difficult, but does require patience...The machine has exceeded my expectations both as a brush cutter (metal blade) and string trimmer.

YES, IT DOES. It's very simple. You press the button on top of the trimmer. Once you press the hand grip and the top button simultaneously, you NO LONGER have to hold down the top button with with your thumb. Once you release the hand grip, you must depress the top button again. This is a SAFETY measure, so the trimmer doesn't run without a contribution from the operator.

You have to press the safety switch at the same time you press the control trigger. After the blades start to run the safety switch can be released and the trimmer will continue to operate.

You can. The problem is, there's a pretty good degree of length between the lowest setting, and using the trimmer without the guide. Would be great if there was one more setting between. But it slides right off. Hope that was helpful.

I haven't had a chance to use the trimmer yet. My plan is to have a single stage press with the Quick Trim and a progressive press for loading trying to eliminate changing the set up repeatedly. I think the Quick Trim will give a more accurate trim than any handheld or many of the other standalone trimmers. The actions to trim with the Quick Trim are basically the same as loading and will be natural for me during the process. I hope this helps.

I dont think the trigger has a "lock On" feature. thats for saftey reasons. you have this long cord your dragging around... if now you had the cutters just running.. while you were not holding the trigger.. bingo... cut cord, cut something, cut stuff. I think they are getting away from they feature. sorry.

The trimmer has NO locking position that allows the tool to stay on without holding the trigger. The trimmer is great. I have 12 bushes that need to be trimmed a few times during their growing season. It is a pleasure to use the trimmer without an attached powercord to get in the way. No effort at all to use. I feel the tool is safer then a wired trimmer.

Yes, you push the same button when the cutting is done. It takes a second to stop and release.

No. This model Bamix does not have the "lock on" feature. The older versions did have this feature which I really liked, but my guess is they removed this due to safety concerns. I have had numerous other wand mixers over the years and "none" had a lock on feature only the old style Bamix had this feature. Maybe if enough people let Bamix know they might add the feature back to a professional model.

Set it in place and push the yellow button. I often have to wiggle it a little to get it to lock in and start cutting.
