A method for regulating a speed of an electric motor of a power tool, the speed of the electric motor being established as a function of an actuation of a control device, the control device being actuated in such a way that a speed is requested which is less than a maximum speed, the speed being set in such a way that, in a first speed range upon an increase of the torque output by the electric motor, the speed decreases with a first negative slope, the speed being set in a second speed range in such a way that the speed proceeds with a second slope upon an increase of the output torque, the second slope being greater than the first slope when considered mathematically.
