Abstract
A power tool has an electronic distance measuring system that includes a wave source that transmits a wave to an object, and a receiver that receives a reflected wave from the object. A microprocessor is used to calculate a distance based on the transmitted wave and the reflected wave, and display information relating to the distance using an indicator. A reflector can be temporarily attached to a workpiece as needed.
