When you press the "on" button does the electric motor stay on until you press it again to turn it off? I looked at a similar 7 ton electric splitter at harbor Freight and you actually have to hold the "on" button throughout the entire cycle. If you take your finger off the button it turns off. This requires two hand operation which is just unacceptable to me. When you press the "on" button does the electric motor stay on until you press it again to turn it off?

Actually that is a safety feature to insure neither hand is in harms way. I believe every log splitter is required to have this feature. I have split perhaps 50 cords and this is seldom an issue so accept it or don't use a log splitter

The switch stays on till you turn it off. I have a little difficulty with my XM-380 turning the swith on. Sometimes I have to press it more than once to make it stay on. But, to answer your question, you don't have to 'hold' the switch on.

The button on the top of the splitter is solely for power on or off. There is no selective switch on the splitter.

I personally always hold it with one hand, and never had a problem, whether sanding, or cutting wood, or whatever. However, you cannot operate it with one hand at all times - for example, if you want to change the speed, the button for that is at the end of the tool, so there is no way to reach it with one hand while holding it at the same time; worse, it's hard to switch it on/off with one hand while holding, so it's best to do that with two hands. Bottom line: if you have reasonable arm strength, you should be able to operate it with one hand for a decent amount of time (enough for most jobs), but you will still need two hands to do some things, such as change speed or turn on/off.

Flip the on button, turn the gas on, choke it and pull the string. Mine starts with one pull even in below freezing weather. This is a great splitter, I'm glad I bought it.

The button is a momentary contact switch. It only comes on while the button is pressed. By pushing and releasing the button you can operate it as a pulsating vacuum.

Whether the switch is 'on' or 'off' it appears the same. The 'off' paddle must be pushed to shut the equipment off. I guess to answer your question, the 'off' lever is down when the switch is 'on'.

There is one button on the light. When you click it once it turns on or off. When the light is on, if you hold the button it will scroll through it's three light settings. When you let off, that's where it stays until you do the process again. One thing to note, if the light is off and you hold the button the light will deactivate and you won't be able to turn it on until you hold the button down again.Side note, this is an excellent light! It is very bright and the unit is very durable. I use it every day and strongly recommend it! Best light for the money! And the run time is awesome! There is one button on the light.

Yes. So far my pull start has worked with one pull. Two pulls if the motor is cold. I've seldom used the electric start so far.

Well usually your electrical panal switch will shut off automatically when it gets overloaded. If your running too many eletrical units on the same switch, then it will shut off. This is important becuase if your electrical switch panal wont shut off , it's a fire hazard.

If you forget to turn the self-propel handle switch off when you are just pushing it around and using the hand wand it will startle you when it activates sometimes. I've had this happen a few times when I was standing there with the weight of my hand on the handle and the wand in the other and it jumped forward spinning on the hard tile floor. Having the deactivation switch is great so the self-propel mode isn't making the vacuum drive over your foot and act all crazy when you are hand vacuuming with the wand and the attachments.

There are two buttons or levers that need to be turned on. It cannot be turned on unless both levers/switches are moved. I don't know how this or any unit could be made more safer. This unit by far is the best I have ever owned. And I have owned many over these past decades. The cheaper ones are junk.

If you overtax the motor, it will shut automatically off. However, it will turn on again very quickly, after 30 seconds or so.

Hello Bo, it has an initial on button, then you select the pre-set time or set a time manually. At the end of the selected cook time it will shut off. When you are totally finished cooking, you should turn off the master power switchfor added safety. It is just that, an added safety feature for, say, a family with kids that like to push buttons just because they are there on the toaster oven. We have found it to be helpful against those small fingers when the grand kids come over. I hope this is helpful for you. We love this thing.

It does have an on/off switch. Works well, just be careful not to put in too many pieces of paper at once. It can handle 12 pieces of paper, but on 12 of anything thick. It wil jam and you have to turn it off, and unplug to be safe, up end it and pick out the pieces with a tweezer. Just use 10 sheets or even 8. Also, buy the oiled paper and use after heavy usage to keep the blades from rusting.

Yes, the switch stays in the ON position until you push the red button. The black shroud around the green button is to prevent pushing it inward by accident.

No. When one button is pushed to turn it on, the others are turned off. I never tried to see what would happen if two were pushed at the same time. My guess is that it would not work.

It is limited by the timer you use. When power to the motor comes on the door opens or closes depending on what position it is in ( if closed it will open, if open it will close). So as many times as you can set the timer to turn on and turn off is the maximum number of times it will open and close. For example mine is set to close at 7 pm and open at 6 am. If I manually open the door before 6 am, it will close at 6am and stay closed till 7 pm unless I manually open before then, if I close the door before 7pm it will open at 7pm.
