An electric chainsaw comprises: a first handle having a forwardly and rearwardly extending grip portion provided on a rear or upper portion of a housing housing an electric motor and configured to be gripped by one hand of a worker, the grip portion being provided with a trigger switch for activating the electric motor; a second handle having a laterally extending grip portion provided forward of the grip portion of the first handle and configured to be gripped by the other hand of the worker; an indicator lamp for indicating a remaining charge amount of a battery pack; and a push-button type indicator switch for causing the indicator lamp to indicate the remaining charge amount, wherein the indicator switch is provided at a position where the worker can operate the indicator switch by a finger of the other hand being gripping the grip portion of the second handle.

An electric working machine of an example of the present disclosure includes: a motor; a power supply portion; a controller; and a voltage detector. The power supply portion generates a DC voltage to drive the motor by rectifying an AC voltage supplied from an AC power source and smoothing by a capacitor. The controller controls energization of the motor. The voltage detector detects the AC voltage. The controller is configured to interrupt the energization when the voltage detector does not detect the AC voltage.

A method for controlling a power tool includes ascertaining a workpiece characteristic of the workpiece to be processed from previously acquired measured values, determining the workpiece material from the workpiece characteristic of the workpiece to be processed, specifying initial values, which are suitable for processing the workpiece made of the determined workpiece material using the power tool, for machine parameters such as feed, speed, and torque, storing the initial values for putting the power tool into operation with machine parameters set to the initial values and/or putting the power tool into operation with machine parameters set to the initial values. A cooling constant is ascertained according to the Newtonian cooling law as the workpiece characteristic of the workpiece to be processed. To ascertain the cooling constant, the ambient temperature is measured, the workpiece is heated, and the actual temperature of the workpiece is measured, whereupon the cooling constant is computed.

According to embodiments of the invention, apparatuses and methods are provided for measuring and cutting elongated objects such as pipes, steel beams, etc. The apparatus may employ a precisely calibrated wheel for measuring length of a generally straight, elongated object by translation of rotational distance along an outer circumference thereof. The apparatus may further employ a lift slider, a scale, cutter, and/or a conveying structure which are generally confined to the proximity of a body frame.

A method for controlling a wall saw system during the creation of a separating cut in a workpiece between a first and a second end point is disclosed. The separating cut is performed in a plurality of main cuts. The movement of the saw head is controlled at the end points such that a boundary of the wall saw facing the end point coincides with the end point after the pivoting movement of the saw arm into the main-cut angle of the following main cut. For a free end point, the boundary of the wall saw is formed by an upper exit point of the saw blade. For an obstacle, the boundary is formed by the saw blade edge of the saw blade if the processing occurs without the blade guard or by the blade guard edge of the blade guard if the processing occurs with the blade guard.

Tool bodies, tools and machines for operating the tool include electronic circuits for providing data, collecting data, analyzing data and for controlling machines based on such data. Tool bodies and tools may include electronic circuits having data collecting sensors, which may be embedded in a housing with the electronic circuit and/or positioned outside of such a housing. Sensors include temperature sensors, motion sensors, strain sensors, moisture sensors, electrical resistance sensors, position sensors, antennas, and other components.

A power cutting tool includes at least one cutting strand, and at least one guide unit that is configured to guide the cutting strand. The power cutting tool further includes at least one coding unit which has at least one coding element that is configured to encode at least one coupling interface of the guide unit.

A mobile machine tool, namely a manually-operated machine tool (10) or semi-stationary machine tool (10), for machining a workpiece (W), wherein the machine tool (10) has a plate-like guide element (30) with a guide surface (32) for guiding the machine tool (10) on the workpiece (W) or the workpiece (W) on the machine tool (10), wherein the machine tool (10) has a drive unit (11) with a drive motor (13) for driving a tool holder (14) arranged on the drive unit (11), wherein the machine tool (10) is provided with a tool sensor arrangement (61, 62) for detecting a workpiece contact region in which a work tool (15) arranged on the tool holder (14), is in contact with the workpiece (W). The tool sensor arrangement (61, 62) comprises at least two tool sensors (61, 62), the detection ranges of which (EB1, EB2) are assigned to different partial workpiece contact regions (WK1, WK2) of the workpiece contact region.

A mobile machine tool (10), namely a manually-operated machine tool or semi-stationary machine tool, for machining a workpiece (W), wherein the machine tool has a plate-like guide element (30) with a guide surface (32) for guiding the machine tool on the workpiece (W) or the workpiece (W) on the machine tool, wherein the machine tool has a drive unit (11) with a drive motor (13) for driving a tool holder (14) arranged on the drive unit (11), wherein the drive unit (11) is, by means of a bearing arrangement (35), mounted adjustably on the guide element (30) in order to adjust at least two adjustment positions (S0, S1, S2) of the tool holder (14) relative to the guide surface (32), wherein at least one adjustment position (S0, S1, S2) corresponds to a workpiece machining position in which the work tool (15) arranged on the tool holder (14).

An arrow saw includes a blade misting arrangement that provides for control and removal of carbon particulate. The arrow saw includes a base with a mounted motorized saw and an arrow tip support that supports the tip of the archery arrow while cutting. The saw includes a hood enclosing the blade with a misting nozzle for generating a mist within the hood during cutting operations. The mist captures particulate generated during the cutting operation and a vacuum system is connected to the hood to remove the wetted particulate. The arrow saw also has a pressurized water supply inlet coupled to a misting nozzle on the hood for providing a source of pressurized water to the misting nozzle.
