The magnetic pole teeth are arranged so that the polarities thereof alternate between N and S in a circumferential direction of the field rotor. The annular body portion connects the magnetic pole teeth at their root portions. The bypass gap portion is provided on an opposite side of the annular body portion to the magnetic pole teeth. The permanent magnets are provided in the annular body portion so as to be spaced from one another in the circumferential direction. The bypass gap portion includes first magnetic gaps each of which is formed adjacent to one of the permanent magnets. Each of the permanent magnets is arranged within an inter-pole angular range between one circumferentially-adjacent pair of the magnetic pole teeth.

An electronic control unit includes two inverters, a magnetic sensor, a failure detection unit, an inverter driving unit, a signal examination unit, and a failed element identification unit. The magnetic sensor detects a magnetic flux generated around a winding. The failure detection unit detects an ON-state failure of the inverter. When the ON-state failure is detected, the inverter driving unit stops driving the inverter to which the ON-state failure has been detected, and continues driving the other inverter. The signal examination unit examines a presence or absence of a special signal. When there is a signal appearing according to a special magnetic flux, the failed element identification unit identifies a failed switching element based on a motor electric angle generated by the signal.

A power tool with a combined printed circuit board (PCB) that reduces internal wiring of the power tool and provides a large amount of air flow to internal components. In some instances, the combined PCB has a surfboard shape and includes a motor control unit and power switching elements (Field Effect Transistors or FETs). The combined surfboard PCB is located above the trigger, but below the motor and drive mechanism. In other instances, the combined PCB has a doughnut shape and is located coaxially with a motor shaft. The combined PCB may be positioned between a doughnut-shaped control PCB and the motor.
