Adaptive power display

Abstract

A method to control a power tool, especially a core drill, including a motor as the drive for the power tool, a control unit, a power display, a transmission having at least a first gear and a second gear, a first sensor to detect the rotational speed of at least one component of the transmission and a second sensor to detect the rotational speed of the motor. The method includes the following steps: ascertaining a first rotational speed of the at least one component of the transmission when the transmission has been put into a gear, ascertaining a first rotational speed of the motor when the transmission has been put into a gear, ascertaining the selection of the gear on the basis of a first prescribed ratio of the first rotational speed of the at least one component of the transmission and of the first rotational speed of the motor on the basis of a look-up table, and setting the limit value of the power display on the basis of the look-up table as a function of the gear that has been selected. A power tool for purposes of using the method.
