There ought to be a way to disengage the knife. However, the serger stitches always look better if you let it trim a little off the edge.
On my old serger, you push the knife towards the machine and then it can swing up out of the way.
If you make any clothes, you will use your serger to finish the inside edges. Bags, too. You can serge the inside seams on those zipper pouches. The serger seams are not sturdy enough to stand on their own as seams, but they are great for finishing seam edges so they don't ravel
