  • Patent number: 10991228
    Abstract: A technique capable of immediately reporting to an operator an occurrence of abnormality in an electric tool is provided. A communication terminal includes a communication-terminal-side control unit that determines whether abnormality has occurred in any of electric tools based on information acquired from the electric tools via wireless communication. When the communication-terminal-side control unit determines the occurrence of abnormality in any one of the electric tools, the occurrence of abnormality in the electric tool is reported by at least one of a report unit included in the electric tools other than the electric tool in which the occurrence of abnormality is determined and a report unit included in the communication terminal.
