Abstract: A power tool has a tool holder, an electric motor, a handle, and a main switch for switching on the electric motor. The power tool executes the following control method. The main switch is scanned to see whether it has been actuated. A start inhibitor transmits a blocking signal to a motor controller if the main switch is actuated before the power tool has been connected to the power supply. An activator receives signals from a control unit separate from the electric power tool, compares the received signals with a predefined signature and transmits a release signal to the motor controller if the received signal corresponds to the predefined signature. The motor controller switches on the electric motor in response to actuation of the main switch if the start inhibitor is not transmitting a blocking signal or the activator is transmitting a release signal.
