Abstract: The electrically driven hand tool such as hand-operated drilling, milling or sawing machine includes a universal driving electromotor controlled via electric circuits by means of a plurality of switches, the control elements of which are in the form of pushbuttons arranged in a matrix or rectangular array on the top surface of the tool housing. The pushbuttons are illuminated when actuated and include a digital keyboard connected to a microprocessor to enter digital data corresponding to the desired value of speed or torque, and the microprocessor adjusts, via a power circuit, the electromotor to the entered data.
