A method to control a power tool including the method steps: specifying the rotational speed of the drive at a first value, measuring a first amplitude of a signal, filtering the signal within a frequency range, measuring a second amplitude of the filtered signal, reducing the rotational speed of the drive to a second value if the first amplitude exceeds a first quantity and if the second amplitude exceeds a second quantity, and incrementally increasing the rotational speed of the drive to the first value, whereby each incremental increase of the rotational speed only takes place once the first amplitude remains below the first quantity for a time interval, and the second amplitude remains below the second quantity.

A hand-held power tool includes a drive unit that has at least one gear-shift transmission which can shift at least between two different gear steps; a striking mechanism that can be activated for performing a striking mode is associated with the drive unit; a shifting unit is provided for shifting the gear-shift transmission between the at least two different gear steps and/or for activating/deactivating the striking mechanism, and a communication interface is provided for communicating with a user-actuated user guiding unit and is configured to receive shifting instructions from the user guiding unit in order for the transmission to shift in an application-specific manner between the two different gear steps and/or for the striking mechanism to be activated/deactivated.

An electric working machine in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a motor; an acceleration sensor; a load-determiner; a filter part having a cutoff frequency; and a filter-property setting part. The filter part removes an unwanted signal component from a detection signal from the acceleration sensor based on the cutoff frequency and inputs, to the load-determiner, the detection signal with the unwanted signal component removed. The filter-property setting part changes the cutoff frequency of the filter part such that a cutoff frequency in a high-speed rotation mode is higher than a cutoff frequency in a low-speed rotation mode.

A control method for a power tool for rotary tools provides the following: A tool holder is rotated continuously in a forward direction about a working axis by a rotary drive when an operating switch is actuated. The continuous rotation in the forward direction is interrupted by a protective process when a protective device senses blocking of the tool holder. During the protective process, one or more cycles are executed, in which the rotary drive is actuated successively in accordance with an unimpeded rotary movement in a reverse direction and in accordance with an unimpeded rotary movement in the forward direction. The rotary drive is supplied with a first amount of energy for the rotary movement in the reverse direction and with a second amount of energy for the rotary movement in the forward direction. The first amount of energy is smaller than the second amount of energy.

An impact tool includes a motor, a driving mechanism, and a vibration sensor. The driving mechanism is configured to perform a hammering operation of linearly driving a tool accessory along an impact-axis by power of the motor. The impact-axis extends in a front-rear direction of the impact tool. The vibration sensor is configured to detect vibrations. The vibration sensor is disposed such that the vibration sensor is capable of detecting vibrations of a first frequency among vibrations caused in the impact tool, and such that transmission of vibrations of a second frequency to the vibration sensor is suppressed. The vibrations of the first frequency result from the hammering operation. The second frequency is different from the first frequency.

A method for the open-loop and closed-loop control of a power tool, in particular a chipping hammer, containing a drive, a control device, a sensor, a transmission and a handle apparatus. The handle apparatus contains a lever element with a signal transmitter and pivotable relative to the sensor. A first and second position of the signal transmitter are sensed by the sensor, wherein the distance between the first and second position corresponds to a first distance. The difference between a maximum distance of the lever element and the first determined distance is determined. A first rotational speed for the drive is set when the determined difference between the maximum distance of the lever element and the first determined distance corresponds at least to a first predetermined threshold value. A second rotational speed for the drive is set after the second position has been reached and after a predetermined period of time has elapsed.

A reciprocation mechanism is operable to create a variable pressure air spring within the spindle and includes a piston configured to reciprocate within the spindle in response to receiving torque from the motor. The piston has an adjustable reciprocation frequency. A striker is selectively reciprocable within the spindle in response to reciprocation of the piston. A first transmission is transfers torque from the motor to the spindle and a second transmission is transfers torque from the motor to the reciprocation mechanism. The reciprocation frequency of the piston is adjustable independent of the rotation speed of the spindle. The rotation speed of the spindle is adjustable independent of the reciprocation frequency of the piston. At least one of the transmissions is a multi-speed transmission.
