Abstract: A power tool is provided including a power supply interface receiving a removable battery pack, a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor including a rotor and a stator, and a multi-phase inverter bridge circuit. A controller is provided to output drive signals to the inverter bridge circuit to control flow of current from to the motor, where each drive signal is activated within each corresponding phase of the motor within a conduction band.

Abstract: When providing alternating current (AC) power to operate AC powered devices such as power tools (such as drills, table saws, miter saws), equipment (such as lawn mowers), and consumer products (such as refrigerators, television, lights) without being tied to a fixed utility power supply typically requires a generator (such as an internal combustion engine based generator) or a battery powered inverter. In order to meet power and runtime needs for these devices, a battery powered inverter must be relatively large and expensive. This simple fact prohibits their use in many environments.

Movement of the control device from the second position to the first position triggers conversion from operation of the motor in the second operation mode to operation of the motor in the first operation mode.
