if the battery runs out, will this trimmer run while plugged in?

You Cannot as it is Cordless, so wait until charged well..previous anwer not sure why they say yes, even it wont come with different stands, its one stand and one stick with different heads to change

Yes you can use it when the battery runs down. Under those conditions, I have just plugged in the cord and it runs fine.

It is not recommended to run it while plugged in. Like most rechargeable products, it it intended to run from only the battery. Properly charge up the battery before use, let it discharge and then recharge.

When you charge you'r battery, do NOT leave it in the trimmer when not in use. The Trimmer will drain the battery even when not being used. I leave the battery in the charger after I charge it, unplug the charger, but I store the battery in the charger until I need it.John.

Yes but it doesn't last too long and definitely is under-powered while trimming. We ended up purchasing the 24V and a charger that charges both sizes. Hope this helps.

No this trimmer works off of 120volts and requires the use of an extension cord connected to your home or generator.

This is an electric hedge clipper, not battery driven. You have to plug into an electrical socket with an extention cord to use.

It will work for several minutes running off a charged battery however for intended and extended use it must be plugged into an electrical outlet.

Yes it does work while plugged in! But, if you want a close shave this is not the unit for you! If I had to do it over, I would have purchased a rotary shaver!

If you are wondering wether your can plug it so that you can continue using it right after the battery discharges, then the answer is no. It will work while plugged in only if the battery has still some charge in it.

Do not store the battery in the trimmer after charging. There is a small current draw that will drain the battery.

NO, it must run on battery, but don't underestimate the battery run time, I have a really small lawn, but I remember I only charger couple time for the last season.

I could not say how long it will run because I've not used it till it died yet. I've run mine for 20 minutes cutting 1/2 inch hedges and still did not run out.

I do not think it would be a stretch for this trimmer's battery to run for an hour. I love this trimmer - auto line trim feature is awesome. I had a Stihl gas powered that was just too heavy and the line keep breaking and getting tangled. So happy I made this purchase!

If it started to run again after 10 minute or so then yes the vents on the top of the motor above the string could be clogged and causing the motor to overheat. If the trimmer just stopped working it could be a number of things. Switch/trigger, battery, wire shorted against the housing in the tube, etc.

Yes, it must be plugged in to be used. The good thing is, it won't run out of charge during use.

No, it must use the rechargeable. It has a battery meter like your phone so you know when it's about to run out.

Yes, it works with a dead battery but plugged in. I currently have two of these shavers -- the older one the battery doesn't hold a charge anymore, but it still works corded. The cord is so short it's hard to use that way, though, which is why I bought a new one.
