A power tool including an implement driven by a motor; an inertial measurement unit; and a control circuitry in communication with the motor and IMU, wherein the control circuitry: receives motor data associated with a condition of the motor; determines angular change of the power tool from motion data received from the IMU or receives angular change data from the IMU; initiates a countdown timer in response to the condition of the motor reaching a threshold; and generates a control instruction to maintain power to the motor upon the countdown timer reaching a prescribed value if the angular change is greater than an angular change threshold at any time during a duration of the countdown timer and reduce power to the motor upon the countdown timer reaching the prescribed value if the angular change is less than the angular change threshold during an entire duration of the countdown timer.
A power tool comprising:
A method of controlling a working implement of a power tool by control circuitry in communication with a motor driving the working implement, the method comprising:
A control circuitry for a power tool, the control circuitry comprising a processor coupled to a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor cause the control circuitry to:
