Provided is an impact tool which can perform control in accordance with working situations. The impact tool converts a torque of a brushless motor into a striking force and applies it to a tip tool. The impact tool includes: a motor control unit which makes detection about whether the tip tool is pressed against an object during the rotation of the brushless motor; and a motor control unit which performs speed increase control for increasing the rotational speed of the brushless motor when a state of pressing the tip tool against the object has been detected continuously for a predetermined time.

A control method for tightening a threaded connection executes, in response to actuation of a pushbutton key, a sequence with consecutive phases. In a first phase, an impact mechanism of an impact wrench exerts a predefined number of rotary impacts on the threaded connection. During the first phase, a profile of a rotational angle over time is estimated. A pattern is adapted to the profile and on the basis of the pattern a setpoint torque is determined for a second phase and a final rotational angle or a final number of impacts is determined for a third phase. During the second phase, rotary impacts are exerted until an estimated torque reaches the setpoint torque. During the third phase, rotary impacts are exerted on the threaded connection until a number of rotary impacts corresponds to the final number or a rotational angle corresponds to the final rotational angle.

A percussion unit for a rotary hammer and/or percussion hammer includes a control unit that is configured for open-loop and/or closed loop control of a pneumatic percussion mechanism. In at least one operating state in which the control unit changes from an idle mode to a percussion mode, the control unit is configured to adjust at least one operating parameter temporarily to a starting value.

The control method for a hammer drill (1) provides the following steps. During basic operation, the motor (5) rotates at an operating speed for the drilling operation with chiseling action in order to rotationally drive the tool holder (2) and to drive the hammer mechanism (6) with a nominal striking power. The torque coupling (21) is monitored with the aid of a sensor (26). If a disengagement of the torque coupling (21) occurs, the striking power of the hammer mechanism (6) is reduced to below 10% of the nominal striking power during a disengagement of the torque coupling (21), and the torque coupling (21) is driven. When the disengagement of the torque coupling (21) ends, the striking power of the hammer mechanism (6) is increased to the nominal striking power and the torque coupling (21) is driven at the operating speed for the drilling operation with chiseling action.

A rotary hammer includes a housing, a first motor supported by the housing and defining a first motor axis, a second motor supported by the housing and defining a second motor axis that is coaxial with the first motor axis, and a spindle coupled to the first motor for receiving torque from the first motor, causing the spindle to rotate. The rotary hammer further includes a reciprocation mechanism operable to create a variable pressure air spring within the spindle. The reciprocation mechanism includes a piston configured to reciprocate within the spindle in response to receiving torque from the second motor, a striker that is selectively reciprocable within the spindle in response to reciprocation of the piston, and an anvil that is impacted by the striker when the striker reciprocates towards the tool bit. The anvil imparts axial impacts to the tool bit.

A percussion tool, for performing a chiseling operation on a workpiece with a chisel, comprises a housing including a front side, and rear side, and opposite lateral sides extending between the front and rear sides, a first handle coupled to a first of the lateral sides of the housing, a second handle coupled to a second of the lateral sides of the housing, the first and second handles oriented coaxially along a handle axis, an electric motor positioned within the housing, a percussion mechanism driven by the motor and including a striker supported for reciprocation relative to the housing along a striker axis, and a light source that produces light to illuminate the workpiece. The chisel is configured to deliver repeated axial impacts to the workpiece in response to receiving repeated axial impacts from the striker.

Control method for a dust extraction module (2) for a chiseling tool (5), including the following steps: using a fan (18) of the dust extraction module (2) to draw in an air flow Q from a certain place of a substrate (31) being worked by the tool (5), using a material detector (24) to identify the material M at the place of the substrate being worked by the tool (5), and adapting the suction power of the dust extraction module (2) as a function of the identified material M in order to set the air flow Q. The air flow Q is greater than or equal to a rated value Qo in the case of an iron-free mineral material M1, whereas the air flow Q is less than the rated value Qo in the case of a material M2 containing iron.

Provided is an electric tool with which work efficiency can be improved. A controller of an electric tool can execute: a first control, whereby during a non-operating state after a motor has started up and before a tip tool is set to be in an operating state, the motor is driven at a slow idling rotation speed, and when the tip tool is set to be in the operating state, the motor is driven at a normal rotation speed which is higher than the slow idling rotation speed; and a second control, whereby in a case where a trigger switch has been turned off in a state where the motor is being driven at the normal rotation speed and the trigger switch is thereafter turned on again under a prescribed condition, the motor is driven at the normal rotation speed regardless of the state of the tip tool.

A percussion tool comprises a housing and an electric motor positioned within the housing. The percussion tool further comprises a battery pack supported by the housing for providing power to the motor. The battery pack includes a plurality of battery cells having a nominal voltage of up to 120 Volts. The percussion tool further comprises a percussion mechanism driven by the motor and including a striker supported for reciprocation in the housing. The percussion tool has a ratio of impact energy to mass that is greater than or equal to 2.5 Joules/kilogram.

A hand-held power tool includes an electric motor, a tool unit, and at least one operating unit. A motor switching unit is configured to sense a contact-pressure characteristic between the tool unit and the operating unit, and configured to switch the electric motor at least partially in dependence on the contact-pressure characteristic.
