  • Patent number: 6681869
    Abstract: A hand-held rotary-percussion power tool includes an electrical drive (2) for generating a torque transmittable to a boring tool used with the power tool for forming blind bores, a hammer mechanism (3) for applying impacts to the boring tool, control device (7, 7′, 7″) for controlling operation of at least one of the electrical drive (2) and the hammer mechanism (3), and an electronic depth stop (4). The depth stop include a sensor (5) for contactless, distance measuring of a depth of a blind bore, and a computation unit (6) for generating a signal indicating that a sensed measurement value (M) corresponds to a set value of the depth of the blind bore, and connected with the control device (7, 7′, 7″).
