The only difference is , It's a little more com pact so it fits in a tighter spot

You have to turn the knob as you cut. Something like tighten, rotate, tighten, rotate.. repeat until the line is cut.

I have had the same problem---I figured that if I can manually turn the unit on by turning the dial, then the red piece is inserted correctly and it is hitting the gear correctly so maybe there is a little debris inside stopping the timing wheel from turning correctly when running on it's own.---Never checked out that theory(Just bought a new timer).---Maybe my moving the dial was all the pressure it needed(That it can't do on it's own)to make it function correctly.---I have also had some older timers that seem to become a little noisy and lose some of their motor strength over time!---Best of luck I have had the same problem---I figured that if I can manually turn the unit on by turning the dial, then the red piece is inserted correctly and it is hitting the gear correctly so maybe there is a little debris inside stopping the timing wheel from turning correctly when running on it's own.---Never checked out that theory(Just bought a new timer).---Maybe my moving the dial was all the pressure it needed(That it can't do on it's own)to make it function correctly.---I have also had some older timers that seem to become a little noisy and lose some of their motor strength over time!---Best... » Read More I have had the same problem---I figured that if I can manually turn the unit on by turning the dial, then the red piece is inserted correctly and it is hitting the gear correctly so maybe there is a little debris inside stopping the timing wheel from turning correctly when running on it's own.---Never checked out that theory(Just bought a new timer).---Maybe my moving the dial was all the pressure it needed(That it can't do on it's own)to make it function correctly.---I have also had some older timers that seem to become a little noisy and lose some of their motor strength over time!---Best of luck « Show Less

No it doesn't stop automatically. It works very well as you can see when it is finished cutting. The top will begin spinning.

That is the on/ off switch. Set the pot on the heating unit and push down on the handle...it will cut off automatically.I love it!!!!

You self-wind the appliance. It spins slowly, repeatedly, depending on how many times it is wound.

O.k. Thanks! I'll try that tonight. I saw that short knob and I keep messing with it, but nothing is happening. I think I'm not doing it right though so I'll try again and maybe get someone to help me. When I jiggle and pull the knobit, do I pull on the base of the machine at the same time? Just making sure I understand what to do here. Thanks again!

Tighten up the knobs. Mine work fine. I recall having a little hassle positioning the to exactly where I wanted them to be, but I haven't used the saw stops for about a year, so my recall is fuzzy. All multiples are identical. If you get looseness after tightening, then return the product for one that works.

The only time that should happen is if you are pressing down on the knife. Just pull the knife through the slots with just the weight of the knife on the grinding wheels. Hope this helps you.

Are you serious Merry? Turn knife over and look at the finger groove on the bottom; it has a serrated look and feel (it is curved inward towards the knife handle. If your knife is open then this serrated bar will look crooked at an angle. Push it back towards the side of the knife handle until it is straight. This will free the blade which you close with the other hand. Don't cut yourself please!

Alas, I am not Mr. Grimm nor am I in his employment. I am just a user of this product like you. My copy of this pruner opens with a 'snick' when I slide the lock. Just now I took a close look at the mechanism: there is a sort of 'hook' that the slider engages to hold the shears closed. I lubricate this area and the hinge for the jaws once in a while and that is one way to help. Another way is to apply a bit of gentle downward pressure on the upper handle (squeeze the handles gently) while sliding the lock bar back. That also is safe and effective for releasing the ratchet.

no the auto feed does not work I have to manually pull the line out. Most frustrating trimmer I ever owned wish I could send it back.

It is ment to ungam the cutter blades. There is a place in the center of the bottom to insert it. Turn the wrench ether way and it should start again.

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.

Simple.. you place the black inner blade guide in first.. The black plastic guide has a pointing thing on it that moves the spring back in place.if you do it right.. the black plastic guide should be close to the cutting blade... the metal blade has a little gray hinge turn and lock that locks the blade in place.... let me know if I helped you.. I have to warn you.. that black plastic guide does not hold up over time when you wash it in the dish washer.. the first thing to break is that pointing thing that holds the spring back.. It's still a great cutting machine.. Jim

No, it is a rotating blade with a opening that allows a sheet of material like wrapping paper or sheet stock paper to pushed into the blade. I purchased it to cut the bottom off of bags at work when the automatic machine didn't work. The like it and I have purchased an additional one.

Cutting surface is on both sides of the wheel. This cutting wheel cuts like butter I recommend it highly.

It has small blades at the bobbin case and at the bobbin winder shaft to cut the thread the proper length. Of course you have to watch to make sure it goes like it should. I wouldn't call this an auto but close I think they call it a built-in thread cutter for you to use. It probably would cut the thread off anyway because the thread is at the location. I use it so I don't know.
