Does the roller bar have a shut off switch for when you use the vacuum on hardwood floors?

Yes, the roller bar stops when you flip the switch from carpet to floors. It also has an attachment that does floors which I use because the roller bar is too cumbersome. The handle at the top slips out and creates a tube that the floor attachment is attached to. My only gripe about this vacuum is that the attachment for the floor does not have a place on the vacuum itself to store it. There are other attachments that are stored on the vacuum but not this particular one which I use every time I vacuum. That is my only complaint. My previous, now obsolete, Panasonic vacuum had this and this is the closest thing to that one I could find. For the price, this Panasonic vacuum beats out Dyson big time!

Yes, it has a very easy to use switch on the left side of the bottom. You simply touch it with your foot to change back and forth from carpet to other floors.

As with most battery powered tools, the trigger (switch) must be depressed to turn the vacuum on. There is no trigger lock, like you find on some power tools, that would allow the tool to run without continuously pressing the trigger. I hope that answers your question.

I have a Dust Care vacuum canister, which automatically starts when I flip the ON switch on the nozzle of the wand unit. The Wessel Werk power head itself does not have a power switch on the head.

It has a 3-way rocker switch, Center-OFF, To the Right of Center-Turns on the vacuum ONLY, To the LEFT of Center-Turns on the Vacuum AND the Power Head brush motor & light if connected. (the Left & Right may be opposite in said operations). There is NO Power Lock it is just like a light switch, it could be bumped either into the ON position OR into the OFF position from either state of operation.

Yes there is a switch to shut off the brush for bare floors and attachment usage. However, I have great difficulty getting it locked into the off position. I have to use two hands because of the strength of the spring, and there is no convenient place to get leverage. A man's larger, stronger hand may not have this problem.

yes, switch in mid position is off, left = vaccuum only, right = vacuum plus power head

Not on the switch, buy many vacuums have an outlet and a switch that can operate both.

I do not think there is a on/off switch. It hook up with the machine, so when you start using it, it will turn on automatically. After you finish it will turn off by itself after a while I think.

Yes it does. It has an upside down botton to make sure its on th floor. When unpressed by the weight of unit it shuts off

Yes. The brush can be shut off. When I tried it the suction was so strong that the vacuum was difficult to push on the carpet.

Here's my best guess. The vacuum has a two-position switch that selects for carpet and bare floor. I suspect the only difference is rotating brush function--on for carpeted floor and off for bare floor. I've never actually checked to see for sure, but I strongly suspect that's how one can turn the brush on or off. Hope this info is helpful.

Not that I have noticed. I use it for doing dog toenails. I apply pressure and never had it bog down or shut off. It's very powerful for a cordless grinder.

There's a selector on it that you turn to bare floors and it turns off the roller.

No - but it does have hardwood floor or carpet adjustment. When I'm vacuuming my hardwood I turn the carpet rotating heads off. The switch is located next to the power button. The switch is a great feature, I don't have to bend over and adjust the floor height based on what I'm vacuuming I just push the button when I move to carpet.

The red "on" switch has to be held up the entire time the vacuum services are required. Once released, the vacuum does not continue functioning. I've checked the instruction pamphlet several times but am unable to find anything to the contrary.

Yes, this is normal. The roller is activated by the position of the handle, so if you tilt the handle up as if you are going to stand it up, the roller will stop and start again when you push the handle down when you are vacuuming. I think this has to do with not wanting the roller spinning if you are standing the vacuum up but not turning it off so that the suction and the roller dont suck up your rug.

It has a sensor that stops it when something gets stuck in the roller bar. So if its a high thick carpet then it has a hard time turning and shuts itself off. Mine usually stops if it gets an envelope or a zip lock bag stuck in it. Ha ha.We have one thick throw that it stops on also.
