Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for controlling a motor of a hand-held power tool by means of a blockable operating element, wherein a first position and a second position of the operating element are ascertained. According to the disclosure, the motor remains deactivated if a deviation of the ascertained first position from the ascertained second position is less than a threshold value.
Claims11
A method for controlling a motor of a hand-held power tool having a lockable operator control element, the method comprising:
- initializing an electronics system in response to the lockable operator control element being moved from an inoperative position;
- ascertaining (i) a first position of the lockable operator control element at a first time after the initialization of the electronic system has begun and (ii) a second position of the lockable operator control element at a second time after the initialization of the electronic system has begun, the second time being subsequent to the first time by a predetermine time interval;
- and
- activating the motor after the initialization of the electronic system in response to a deviation of the ascertained second position from the ascertained first position being at least a threshold value, wherein the motor remains deactivated in response to the deviation falling below the threshold value.
A non-transitory machine-readable memory that stores a computer program for controlling a motor of a hand-held power tool having a lockable operator control element, the computer program being configured to, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
- initialize an electronics system in response to the lockable operator control element being moved from an inoperative position;
- ascertain (i) a first position of the lockable operator control element at a first time after the initialization of the electronic system has begun and (ii) a second position of the lockable operator control element at a second time after the initialization of the electronic system has begun, the second time being subsequent to the first time by a predetermine time interval;
- and
- activate the motor after the initialization of the electronic system in response to a deviation of the ascertained second position from the ascertained first position being at least a threshold value, wherein the motor remains deactivated in response to the deviation falling below the threshold value.
A hand-held power tool comprising:
- a motor;
- an electronics system
- a lockable operator control element;
- and
- a non-transitory machine-readable memory that stores a computer program for controlling the motor, the computer program being configured to, when executed, cause the hand-held power to:
- initialize the electronics system in response to the lockable operator control element being moved from an inoperative position;
- ascertain (i) a first position of the lockable operator control element at a first time after the initialization of the electronic system has begun and (ii) a second position of the lockable operator control element at a second time after the initialization of the electronic system has begun, the second time being subsequent to the first time by a predetermine time interval;
- and
- activate the motor after the initialization of the electronic system in response to a deviation of the ascertained second position from the ascertained first position being at least a threshold value, wherein the motor remains deactivated in response to the deviation falling below the threshold value.
