Do the trimmers have a lock device to enable continous cutting without holding trigger on?

No, it does not. The only locking feature is to keep it from starting without your hand on the trigger.

There is a switch you have to push first in order to squeeze the trigger in order to operate it. You have to maintain pressure on the trigger in order for it to run. A lock would not be a safe feature to have on a hedge trimmer.

there is a lock and once opened the clippers "spring" open and you have to squeeze the handle to clip or to close and relock. Hope this answers your question. I really like them.

No! it is like a Chain saw and has a feature where you have to pull a lever back with your thumb in order to depress the trigger. I would think a Trigger lock would be not very safe.

yes they do, but I have not used them for striking - I've only used the pry bars as a "lever".

Yes. The lock is the dark slider at the right end of the knife in the illustration. It is spring loaded, and unlocks only when the slider is pushed forward or backward. As long as no pressure is applied in either direction, the blade is immobilized, and cannot move.

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 they don't. You have to open the tool to use blade. But it do have lock.

I purchased this and really like it. Having said that I have only had 1 opportunity to really use it. I remember looking at the Q&A; section and seeing that it did not have a "lock on" button. When using it I recall having to squeeze the trigger to operate the power - this makes it easy to stop and start and to put down the trimmer without worrying that it will still be running and hurt someone.

The blades do not lock. When you carve smaller slivers are removed so the blade has less stress to close. Remember to use hand or thumb protection when pulling the blade toward yourself.

Yes this model has a trimmer. However when I flip the trimer open it oftentimes shuts off the razor because mt thunk slides the off switch

No! You push the 'lock' switch so you can activate the trigger. I have had at least 5 similar trimmers, and they all operate under the same principal. Once the trigger switch is in operation, that's the one you use. By the way the Gardena is the best by far of those that I have owned.

no trigger lock, but press the trigger once it's on and runs continually , when you press it again it's off then. works just fine.

No it doesn't. When I'm on a ladder, in order to trim close to me I have to adjust the head to a 45 degree right angle and hold it straight up and down, or I can leave it straight and try to hold it close to the blade and stretch my other arm all the way down to get to the trigger. It's awkward but it works.

Yes, their is a button located on the handle directly above the trigger which in turn controls the cutting speed of the blade. Simply squeeze the trigger to the desired speed. Hold the trigger in that position while using the thumb depress the the speed lock button. At this point you can release the trigger, and then release the button.

no. The one in that picture has no lock. Those with a lock have it in the center of the circle at the base of the handle.

I have only used it by holding the trigger on. I think this is a safety feature and I would doubt that you could set it to stay cutting without your finger on the trigger. Nothing was said in the instructions about using the trimmer without your finger on the trigger.
