My T980 will not lock on #4 for trimming. It vibrates down to #3. giving different lengths on the trim. How does this one hold up?? This is a major problem for a newish unit. I normally have to remove the edges and bar from the main trim line on all...

My Philips Norelco QT4070 securely holds that setting. I tested the #4 (assuming that it represents the same setting on your T980) that you had problems with and it held firm. I must admit that I do not trim that close under my nose so I am not in a position to vouch for the ease at which that is done but I must say on the whole it is a very fine trimmer.

The string advance on my model works well; I've had no problems. I found the Husqvarna Trimmers videos on Youtube very useful and informative. Another good source of help is Husqvarna Customer Service. The phone number is listed on their website.

I pull it to the setting of 20 (highest) then give a light snug pull, and off it comes. Then putting it back on. The contour of shape shows back and front easily. (line up the groove, and push it on when both sides are lined up. *what nice about this trimmer is when it is running "powered on" the setting locks and does not move. Very cool feature!

Unfortunately, this happened to ours as well. Then, it simply fell apart. We returned it as we had only used it for a trim one or two times before this occured. It is a great design and a fantastic tool if it wasn't so poorly made. If they could work out the kinks we would try it again.

Hi - No, it shouldn't lock up you every time. I have had the same issue with the handle sticking on my end. Mine doesn't stick (or lock) all the time, just some of the time. I'm guessing there's an internal part that is not releasing properly after the handle is squeezed. I never returned mine because while it's very frustrating, it doesn't happen often enough. I'm sure if I was proactive and cleaned it to make sure the line wasn't clogged it might work better. Anyway, if the handle locks up all the time I would return it or contact the manufacturer. I hope this was helpful.

I have two trimax locks. One that works well for me and the other not reliable. All I can say is treat it gingerly and don't abuse it. They both work. Haven't had any problems with it in quite awhile.

Those are the tough areas with this shaver. I will try to use the lock for those areas and see how it does. Thx.

I don't know as I threw out the box and paper work.Have you 1. cleaned and oiled the blades after using 2. Taken the blade off and cleaned it and the white shaft that moves the blade and if you have removed the blade have you reinstalled it correctly as instructed. I have fine hair and and use it every other day around my ears, sideburns and mustache and clean and oil the blade each time.Also once a week I remove the blade and clean inside. With this maintenance I have not had any problems and am very pleased with the trimmer. Best of Luck David PS The 2 screws holding the blade to the trimmer can easily strip.

My old one had a finicky on off switch too, you had to get it in exactly the right place of it might hum but not vibrate. Just broke after about ten years. As an aging weekend warrior, I can't live without it so I will be buying a new one.

I had the same problem. The seller was very helpful if you write to him he will give you detailed instructions. They cut very well, but are not easy to lock and unlock, at least mine are. I did not give them 5 stars because of this problem. I just don't lock mine anymore.

In case anyone else is wondering, NO! This no longer has the adjustment on the actual body of the trimmer. The older version with a NiCad battery had it. They updated it with a NiMH battery, and also got rid of the 3-position adjustment. Too bad, that's why I purchased this in the first place.

Sometimes the line does not feed for me. What I found out is that there is a black button on the feed line housing. Push in on the button while pulling on the trimmer line to advance. It works for me.

Has anyone had a problem with the string wrapping around the shaft of the spool. After using the trimmer for several months with no problems, it has now started to wrap the string around the base of the shaft, below the spool. Very frustrating!! Was working fine up to when this happened. Any suggestions?

I can only say that this is the second model I've owned...I dropped the first, breaking it. It has always provided a sharp, neat trim for my beard. That is why I sought out and purchased the same model. I use the shortest of four trim guides that come with the trimmer to get a tight, trim beard.

I don't know why the manual states this for the 1290X, and customer support says this, but my shaver appears to have the travel lock function. I just tested it. I hold the switch for about 1 sec. and it locks. To turn it back on, I have to hold it for another second. I always use this when I pack it and travel. That seems like a locking function to me.

Dear, Unfortunately yes, another issue is that the accessory for adjusting the fine trimming is not working also(design deficiency) which make it really useless trimmer. Regards,

To fix mine I just had to smack it against my hand (without the brush head on) on all four sides a few times. I think something may have been pressed against the sensor and causing it to stay on.
