Can the ON button be locked in place so that you can free your hands up?

Sorry, but I don't know the answer because I always have my thumb on the button out of habit. I will see if there is something in the book that came with it later today. OK The book says slide the thumb lock back and squeeze the trigger. When the trimmer is running release the thumb lock and should run until you release the trigger. Hope that helps. Don

No. Once you engage the safety button though you do NOT have to continue pressing that button.

Yes you can. You might need to reset your thumb once the case is on because you put your thumb at different angles that way, but yes it works well

Yes, unless you hold the button down when you are closing it. This requires you to use two hands while closing, though.

Unfortunately, no. You have to push the button to activate and inactivate, which is annoying.

Yes. I bought one for my GD for her second birthday and she has no problem turning it on or off. Be conscious of placing it in the case properly as there is a clear Perspex bar under the screen which prevents the button's operation!!!!! It is a good, solid product.

Yes, it can be locked into "on" mode. The button you see just above the lever to make run, if you press it with the lever depressed it wiill stay on until you press the lever again.

If you mean hands free, no. But there is a hand strap on the back when open that allows you to hold with one hand and type with the other.

No, but when its open, the arms are slightly angled at an upward pitch so it would be really hard to accidentally push it off

Yes...if your very good with you toe. This will only be possible if you were bot wearing shoes I would guess. With its placement I would bet an easy home grown physical pad could be added to the button to make it more accessible.

No Sir it can not. I like this feature for safety. You can close it with one hand easily once you get use to it.

No - these switches stay in the middle position at all times. You can always tap up or down to turn on or off.

On mine, you have to hold the button down. This keeps you from running down the battery

Yes. There's a second button on there. You can set it for as little as 1 sec.

Not really. I suppose if you wanted to prop your iPad up and hold the buttons while walking in place, you could. This works best with excercising equipment like a stationary bike or elliptical.

Joe I do not believe so. There is an on/off button but I don't see any other ways to do anything else. I am very well pleased with it. I have an outside large bucket with goldfish and use it to airinate the water.

Yes. No buttons respond when the lock is slid over. Located above the battery compartment.

Yes. I've had this for over a year and so far the buttons are still on tight and no sign of coming loose.
