Do you have to hold the handle blade when you're tryin to align your paper? Is this not a hydrolic like handle?

It is not hydrologic. When you lift the handle to position the paper it does stay up so you can use both hands til you are ready to cut.

Some will argue that it is not "precise enough" for the task at hand. I use it primarily for cutting stacks of bulletins, announcements, and some posters.So far, when cutting smaller stacks of heavyweight paper, it's been precise to about 1/32 of an inch. If you cram the paper in beyond what is suggested, you will likely encounter a problem. The green plastic holder you see just beside the blade is very snug on the paper or card stock when the lock is in the proper place. If you forget to lock it, well, it will move!! That is not the fault of the cutter. Several staff members have used and like the precision of the cutter. No complaints from us! It is an extreme improvement over what we have had in the past.

No. Also you have to make sure you press down on the clear plastic part that sits over the paper near the blade to hold the paper in place or it won't cut straight.

No. The handle does not lock into place so you can't keep it in a fixed position.

There is a thin metal fin that runs up the middle of the handle. Use your thumb to push it to one side and then fold the blade down.

Yes. Just don't swing it around while holding the handle to much, it will come off if abruptly tugged upon.

Yes, the handle does jiggle slightly. It doesn't interfere with using it, though.

No, I own bunch of Fibrox Victorinox knives, and they do not all say it on the handle. I think it has to do with when the handles were actually formed. They are made in a form and they may change the handle shape or wording

Yes, the blade does stay up as you align your paper. It is really good trimmer. I highly recommend it.

Hi, I love this edger! Yes the handle pivots for storage and the black clip holds the blade up for storage. I do not have a video of it in use, but it is the easiest to use edger I have ever tried. I use a flat edged shovel to remove the cut off trimmings.

The handle doesn't fold. There's a gadget for making it stand up at the angle shown. I typically use it hand-held.

Not a problem for me, as I cut my grass at the shortest height. Wasn't a problem at the beginning when I was trying various cutting heights. My handle is stiff and hard to move, so I can't see it jumping out of its notch. Is your handle installed correctly?

Sorry I dont know-the model I have has a straight handle that doesnt unfold

You have to turn the handle where it attaches to the sharpener. It is quite easy to get to and clean when necessary.

Hey - I do not know if tht is the official method but I hold the handle that goes over the top.

I haven't had that problem. I'm left handed but not sure if I use it like a left-hander or right-hander. Perhaps you have the handle in the wrong position.

Yes, that is correct. Orientation refers to which side you would like the handle to be on.
