Do you have to continually press the on button? Would it be possible to set this up in a vise so as to bring the work to the sander (rocks).

The button does lock in the go position. But in a vise? Would need to rig up a good cushion in jaws or bolt to handle so don't crush the plastic case and can press the work into the revolving pads w/o twisting it all. Plus if running wet - fling water all over..... You look creative, go for it!!! MP

No, you need not hold the switch, it has a click into 'on' spot. You could lock it on, then have a on/off switch on the cord. The speed control dial is at the far end from the grinder head, near the wire and water inlet, so you could control that from afar too. I have not used this tool hard or daily, but have used off and on for a couple of years: is solid, dependable, a nice tool. MP

This device needs a constant water feed to work properly. It's not going to work in a vise.

The button remains in the on position until you nudge it. IMO, the handle would be the logical part to grip in a vice, but if you are going to use the wet feature, you'll likely need to configure something to contain the spray.

You don't have to turn it on but it only works as an impact when it encounters enough resistance. The rest of the time it works just like any electric drill or screw driver.

I have not tried it for that but from what I have seen of the dust collection capabilities of the sander, I would say not, it would miss a lot of the dust. Just my opinion.

on the handle their is a button you push and a lever at your right hand grip you pull to make the tiller run, if you do NOT push the button and hold till the tiller starts it will not run, once it is running you can release the button. their are hooks on the handle to keep the power cord behind the tiller

You can use the sander in any direction. Others have suggested an orbital sander, but if you're looking to get your work done quickly, this will certainly do a quicker and more powerful job.

Pat, I think when you turn it on, it just stays on - and then you put the change in a little at a time. I never used this one, so I'm not 100% sure, but the one that I dropped on the ground and broke (!!) that was very similar...you just press the on button and it stays on.

You need to hold the button down. I prefer this to a "double click" approach.

Yes, you just have to hold the on button for 2 seconds. If you hold it again, the light comes back on and the must goes intermittent. The instructions tell you how to do it.

You could but there is no elevation adjustments so it would be rather hard, best just to use sand bags or even just a backpack it's not like a .2 2 kicks so you really don't need a vise to hold it.

Only if you have three hands. You can do it one adjustment click at a time, but I would recommend doing it over a soft surface

The handle for the pole has a on/off trigger. It also has a safety switch by the thumb, that needs to be depressed to turn on the saw, but can be released once the saw has started.

No, it is a manual push. In fact, it is very easy to push. I'm not sure what the previous answer from Joe was referring to, but this mower need not be on to move around.

no, it has a button to turn it on, and you keep it depressed for how long you need, to get the desired grind you want. for a coarse grinds, i keep it depressed approximately 10 seconds.

You could attach a small drill with a on off switch and that would work just fine. I would use a block and a clamp so the drill doesn't move.

No, there's a button on the handle for that. It takes a bit of strength to push at first, though, so I always end up using the slider on the side of the machine instead.

I'm not sure what you mean by a hard click. If the sound is coming from the switch then "YSU65" is right on the money, but if the noise is coming from the body of the sander you might want to look at the counter weight(s) to see if they have loosened. I have not had a second of trouble with mine since I bought it. So I have not had to disassemble it, though I do clean it with compressed air from time to time. Good luck your trouble shooting. I hope I was at least some help

Yes, you have to hold the button down to operate. it works okay, if you were just looking for a handheld unit I would suggest the shark cordless, this one seems to lack a little power but does the job well for picking up dust and keeping wood floors relatively clean.
