Abstract

A method to control a power tool, especially a core drill, including a motor as the drive for the power tool, a control unit, a power display, a transmission having at least a first gear and a second gear, a first sensor to detect the rotational speed of at least one component of the transmission and a second sensor to detect the rotational speed of the motor. The method includes the following steps: ascertaining a first rotational speed of the at least one component of the transmission when the transmission has been put into a gear, ascertaining a first rotational speed of the motor when the transmission has been put into a gear, ascertaining the selection of the gear on the basis of a first prescribed ratio of the first rotational speed of the at least one component of the transmission and of the first rotational speed of the motor on the basis of a look-up table, and setting the limit value of the power display on the basis of the look-up table as a function of the gear that has been selected. A power tool for purposes of using the method.

Claims (12)

1. A method to control a power tool including a motor as a drive for the power tool; a controller; a power display; a transmission having a plurality of gears including at least a first gear and a second gear; a first sensor to detect a rotational speed of at least one component of the transmission; and a second sensor to detect a motor rotational speed of the motor, the method comprising the following steps:

ascertaining a first rotational speed of the at least one component of the transmission when the transmission has been put into one of the plurality of gears,

ascertaining a first rotational speed of the motor when the transmission has been put into the one gear,

ascertaining a selection of the one gear as a function of a first prescribed ratio of the first rotational speed of the at least one component of the transmission and of the first rotational speed of the motor on the basis of at least one look-up table, and

setting a limit value of a power display on the basis of the at least one look-up table as a function of the ascertained selection of the one gear.

2. A method to control a core drill including a motor as a drive for the core drill; a controller; a power display; a transmission having a plurality of gears including at least a first gear and a second gear; a first sensor to detect a rotational speed of at least one component of the transmission; and a second sensor to detect a motor rotational speed of the motor, the method comprising the following steps:

ascertaining a first rotational speed of the at least one component of the transmission when the transmission has been put into one of the plurality of gears,

ascertaining a first rotational speed of the motor when the transmission has been put into the one gear,

ascertaining a selection of the one gear as a function of a first prescribed ratio of the first rotational speed of the at least one component of the transmission and of the first rotational speed of the motor on the basis of at least one look-up table, and

setting a limit value of a power display on the basis of the at least one look-up table as a function of the ascertained selection of the one gear.

3. A power tool performing the method of claim 1 .

4. A core drill performing the method of claim 2 .
