  • System and Method for Operating a Power Tool
    Publication number: 20260158633
    Abstract: A method of operating a power tool includes identifying a performance factor of a battery pack operably connected to the power tool using a controller of the power tool based on coded data received from the battery pack. The method also includes operating an electric motor of the power tool, using the controller, at a first maximum speed when the identified performance factor is greater than or equal to a threshold value, and operating the electric motor, using the controller, at a second maximum speed when the identified performance factor is less than the threshold value. The second maximum speed is less than the first maximum speed.
