  • Publication number: 20100193205
    Abstract: A pneumatically striking hand-held power tool is controlled by the following steps. An acceleration (a) along a striking axis (8) of the hand-held power tool (1) is detected. A driving power is reduced if the detected acceleration (a) is greater than a threshold value (A), the threshold value (A) being selected to be greater than maximum acceleration values (a1, a2) that occur on a workpiece during the striking operation of the hand-held power tool (1).

  • Patent number: 6868919
    Abstract: The object of the invention is a device, intended for a multifunctional, hand-held tool machine, for example, an electric combination hammer, for the ON/OFF switching or changeover of individual system functions when changing the processing mode, for example, from “hammer drilling” to “chiseling”. Pursuant to the invention, the changeover device, which is to be actuated by the user, is coupled with a mechanical driving mechanism, by which a bistable switch, comprising two mutually oppositely movable elements, is actuated. In a combination hammer, the invention guarantees that, when the chiseling operation is selected, certain functions of the system, such as a monitoring of the reaction moment, are interrupted or changed over.
