No, you cant use it manually but there is a speed controller and it is very easy to use. I have had mine for years and I have never changed the 9v battery in it.
It is cheap and very effective. The rack and pinion focusser is quite sturdy and the electric focusser makes small movements easy to achieve. I use a Bahtinov mask to set focus and rately have to change it. My scope is permanently set up and will often go weeks without needing to change the focus.
