Pressing tool and method for a re-pressing operation

A method of operating a pressing tool, comprising:

• causing, by a microcontroller, operation of a motor in a first direction;
• obtaining, by the microcontroller, a motor parameter from a sensor;
• determining, by the microcontroller, a fault condition from the motor parameter received;
• and
• in response to determining the fault condition, the method further comprising:
• causing, by the microcontroller, operation of the motor from the first direction to a second direction,
• pausing, by the microcontroller, operation of the motor, and
• resuming, by the microcontroller, operation of the motor in the first direction.

A pressing tool comprising:

• a housing;
• first and second jaws extending from the housing, wherein the first and second jaws are pivotable relative to a portion of the housing between a closed position and an open position;
• a motor supported within the housing and configured to drive the first and second jaws between the closed position and the open position;
• a current sensor;
• and
• a microcontroller, the microcontroller being configured to:
• cause the motor to operate in a first direction;
• obtain a motor current from the current sensor;
• determine a fault condition of the motor based on the received motor current;
• and
• in response to determining the fault condition, change operation of the motor from the first direction to a second direction, pause operation of the motor, and resume operating the motor in the first direction.
