No but you have to connect it to the usb and press the buttons to connect them the first time also make sure its charged with the usbcable and the flash drive looking link

No its wireless make sure the sensor is properly plugged in to the usb port, it may also just need to be charged

No thats why I purchased it since I had two good batteries. However I am not 100% happy with this unit. When you need to push hard on it when doing a plunge cut the blade turns under the pressure. I checked to make sure the blade was securley tightened in place and it was. Not a big problem just don'e push real hard on it.

I've had no issues with mine at all. Try replacing the batteries first then disconnect the clip where it connects together leave off for 30 sec. Then plug it in is what I'd do. Good luck

It should be fine but you will have to recharge it or buy some extra batteries depending on how many times you need to cut the board.

As far as I know it doesn't use batteries. I don't see any place to put batteries on mine.

You are right, it does need to be cut - you would need to take it down to a locksmith.

It does not. To keep the trimmer running the trigger must be squeezed which is no problem for me and I believe that a "lock on" feature can be harmful. This trimmer is outstanding and light weight, the best that I have ever owned.

No. It does not require batteries. It uses the 24 volt power from the HVAC unit.

I like this saw, but my battery is totally dead. :( I used to use it when I climbed my avocado tree to trim the branches. I liked it because it was lightweight. Battery dies after about 20 minutes of continuous use. So I would use it until the battery runs down. I ended by getting a cordless reciprocating saw which gets the WHOLE job done! My neighbor calls this B&D; saw a toy. Hope this helps!

Disconnect the wires from the battery and short them together. That will keep the blades from turning. REPEAT...Disconnect from battery FIRST!

We only used ours a few times and never really used it on battery. It didn't last long and I would suggest looking at a different brand/model. This one is inexpensive and cheaply made.

The on-off switch on mine broke within two weeks of receipt. No need for a battery. I had to use the warranty to get another type of trimmer.

This trimmer is not battery powered. It has a 120VAC motor, so you need an extension cord. Use one that has at least 14AWG wires, especially if it is over 25 Ft., because of the amperage of the Motor.

First, do not use a long extension cord instead plug direct to the outlet. When cutting, do not push hard, let the blade do its work. For parts, call rikon parts department. I never have problem with mine.

I'm not sure, but mine does the same thing. Possibly its just borderline temp for it to cut on and off. Mine has done a good job so far, had it for a little over a year. Hope that helps.

Yes, it requires batteries, but don't buy this product. I did, but the build quality is horrible. It broke after six months. I saved up some money and brought a Fluke instead, which has been rock solid.
