If tripped a small blade will pop out. What model is it?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - The model is; "Professional Powercell" s/n; C94093679593 and yes, it has the little blade that says "push,reset" around it (which I did). Maybe this thing is toast,but I don't quit on stuff very easily. Thx. BrianA |
