An electric powered work machine in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a motor, a current-carrying path, a switching circuit, a circuit board, a metal case, and a heat radiation sheet. The circuit board includes a first surface, a second surface, a first hole group, a board conductive line, and a circuit arrangement area.

Disclosed herein is a post repair kit comprising a stake defined by a body, proximal end, and a tapered anchor end. The post repair kit comprises a hammer mechanism comprising a power portion and a reciprocating ram structure, the power portion forcibly driving the reciprocating ram structure in a reciprocating motion. The reciprocating ram structure comprises a rod structure having a proximal end coupled with the power portion. The reciprocating ram structure further comprises an offset member connected to a distal end of the rod structure. The offset member has a first hole and a second hole. The distal end of the rod structure is connected to the first hole, wherein the offset member and the rod structure are connected perpendicular to each other. The reciprocating ram structure further comprises an interchangeable adaptor end tool detachably connected to the offset member using a fastening mechanism at the second hole.

A potting boat adapted to receive a printed circuit board is described. The boning boat includes a base plate and a plurality of sidewalls projecting from the base plate, a plurality of cooling fins, a recessed portion, and an arm. The plurality of cooling fins are formed on one of the sidewalls. The cooling fins extend laterally outward from the one of the sidewalls. The recessed portion is in a first sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls, and extends laterally inward. The arm has a first end fixed to the sidewall and an opposite, second end not connected with the first sidewall. The arm at least partially overlays the recessed portion to define a void within which electrical wires connected to the printed circuit board are retained proximate the first sidewall.

An impact power tool includes a housing, a motor, a controller, an output member configured to be rotated when the motor is energized, and an impact mechanism configured to rotationally drive the output member. The impact mechanism is configured to selectively apply rotational impacts to the output member when a torque on the output member exceeds a torque threshold. The controller is configured to control the motor during a first phase of operation with open loop control and a baseline conduction band and advance angle setting when a sensed tool operation parameter is one of above or below a threshold value. The controller is configured to control the motor during a second phase of operation with closed speed loop control and an increased conduction band and advance angle setting when the sensed tool operation parameter is the other of above or below the threshold value.

An impact power tool includes a housing, a motor, a controller, an impact mechanism configured to be driven by the motor, and an output spindle configured to receive rotational impacts from the impact mechanism to rotate the output spindle. The controller is configured to detect a first impact of the rotational impacts or to detect when the motor speed drops below a speed threshold value. The controller is configured to control the motor to have a first non-zero target rotational speed using closed loop control for a predetermined time period after the first impact is detected or when the motor speed dropping below the speed threshold value is detected. The controller is configured to control the motor to have a second non-zero target rotational speed using the closed loop control after the predetermined time period. The first non-zero target rotational speed is less than the second non-zero target rotational speed.

A method for detecting a transmission backlash in a hand-held power tool, the hand-held power tool comprising a drive motor that has a drive shaft, a tool spindle, and a transmission that, in respect of drive, connects the drive shaft to the tool spindle, includes actuating, in a first actuation, the drive motor at least until the value of a first variable, representing a drag torque, is at least approximately constant. The method includes, during the first actuation, determining a value of a second variable which is associated with the rotation of the drive shaft of the drive motor during the first actuation, and determining a value of a third variable, representing a transmission backlash, based upon a change in the second variable during the first actuation.

An electric power tool includes a motor, a spindle, a first vibration cam, a housing, a second vibration cam, a vibration switching member, and a plurality of biasing members. The spindle is rotatable by the motor. The first vibration cam is fixed to the spindle. The first vibration cam is located inward of the housing. The second vibration cam is located inward of the housing. The second vibration cam is configured to be in friction with the first vibration cam. The vibration switching member switches between a rotatable condition and an unrotatable condition of the second vibration cam with respect to the housing. The plurality of biasing members bias the vibration switching member.

A rotary power tool comprises a drive mechanism including an electric motor and a transmission, a housing enclosing at least a portion of the drive mechanism, a spindle rotatable in response to receiving torque from the drive mechanism, a first ratchet coupled for co-rotation with the spindle, a second ratchet rotationally fixed to the housing, a sleeve bushing on an interior of the housing, and a bearing arranged between the spindle and the sleeve bushing and rotatably supporting the spindle. The bearing has an outer race. The spindle is movable relative to the housing in response to contact with a workpiece, causing the first and second ratchets to engage and the spindle to reciprocate while rotating. The outer race of the bearing moves along the sleeve bushing during reciprocation of the spindle when the first ratchet and second ratchet are engaged.

A percussion tool comprises a housing, an electric motor positioned within the housing, a percussion mechanism driven by the motor and including a striker supported for reciprocation in the housing along a first axis, and a pair of handles coupled to the housing. The handles define a second axis. The percussion tool further comprises a battery pack removably coupled to the housing for providing power to the motor when coupled to the housing. The first and second axes are contained within first and second planes, respectively, that are parallel to each other.

The disclosure relates to a switching device for a hammer drill, having a manually actuatable switching element. It is proposed that the switching element is designed for actuating an operational mode switching unit and a switching unit for changing the direction of rotation.
