Abstract
The invention relates to a method for operating a hand-held working device (1), which comprises a data acquisition unit (24) in which actuations of the trigger switch and accelerations of the working device (1) are captured. In order to further simplify and/or improve the operation of the hand-held working device, it is monitored within a limited period of time after actuation of the trigger switch whether an acceleration of the working device (1) exceeds an acceleration threshold in order to detect trouble-free ignitions and/or ignition problems during the operation of the working device (1).
Claims20
A method for operating a fastener-setting working device comprising a trigger switch and a data-acquisition unit which detects trigger switch actuations and accelerations of the working device, the method comprising monitoring and determining, within a limited period of time after actuation of the trigger switch, whether an acceleration of the working device exceeds an acceleration threshold, and, based upon a determination of whether the acceleration of the working device exceeds the acceleration threshold, detecting fault-free ignitions/settings and/or ignition/setting faults during operation of the working device.
