Abstract: A walk-behind mower has a mower deck, a plurality of wheels, a head, and a plurality of light sources. The wheels are rotatably coupled to the mower deck. The wheels move the walk-behind mower over a support surface in a forward direction and a rearward direction. The head is coupled to the mower deck. The head can store at least one battery pack. The light sources are coupled to at least one of the mower deck and the head. The light sources project light through a continuous illumination angle about the walk-behind mower. The illumination angle extends along an arc from the forward direction toward the rearward direction and is at least 90 degrees.

Abstract: A power tool including a motor configured to rotatably drive an output shaft, a variable motor speed control input, a motor speed limit input, and a motor controller. The motor controller includes an electronic processor and a memory configured to store instructions. When executed by the motor controller, the instructions configure the motor controller to detect a motor speed limit from a setting of the motor speed limit input, and detect a variable speed control setting from the variable motor speed control input. The motor controller generates a motor speed control signal for driving the motor based on the detected motor speed limit and the detected variable motor speed control setting, and transmits the motor speed control signal to a motor driver circuit configured to drive the motor at a speed based on the motor speed control signal.

Abstract: A walk-behind lawnmower includes a mower deck, a plurality of wheels coupled to the mower deck, a drive motor configured to operate at a drive speed to drive at least one of the plurality of wheels, and a handle coupled to the mower deck. The handle includes a user interface having a variable speed control configured to be actuated an actuation percentage, and a maximum speed control including a setting corresponding to a maximum mower speed. The drive speed of the drive motor is determined using the actuation percentage of the variable speed control scaled by the setting of the maximum speed control.

Abstract: A lawnmower may include an inertial measurement device configured to capture data indicative of an orientation of a housing of the lawnmower. The lawnmower may also include a controller coupled (i) to a motor configured to rotate one or more cutting blades and (ii) to the inertial measurement device. The controller may be configured to receive, from the inertial measurement device, the data indicative of the orientation of the housing. The controller may be further configured to determine a three-dimensional position of the housing based on the data. The three-dimensional position of the housing may indicate whether the orientation of the housing is desirable for operation of the lawnmower. The controller may be further configured to control the motor based on the three-dimensional position of the housing.

Abstract: A walk-behind lawnmower includes a housing including a metal chassis, a handle coupled to the housing by support beams, a battery pack interface configured to receive a battery pack, a motor housed within the housing, a plurality of wheels attached to the housing, one or more cutting blades configured to be driven by the motor, and a skirt coupled to the metal chassis of the housing. The skirt is configured to provide a conductive path to discharge an electrostatic charge accumulated on the metal chassis.

Abstract: A battery powered lawnmower having a blade motor coupled to at least one blade, a user input device configured to receive a blade motor control signal and a bail control bar. The bail control bar is coupled to a position sensor configured to determine a position of the bail control bar. The battery powered lawnmower further includes a controller coupled to the position sensor and configured to control an operation of the blade motor. The controller is configured to receive a blade motor control command and determine a position of the bail control bar based on data provided by the position sensor. The controller is further configured to, in response to determining that the bail control bar is in a closed position, control the blade motor based on the received blade motor control command.

Abstract: A lawnmower comprising a housing, one or more cutting blades, and a motor configured to rotate the one or more cutting blades. The lawnmower includes a handle including a switch assembly. The switch assembly includes a contactless switch pivotable about an axis point and a magnet located at the axis point. One or more paddles extend from the handle. The rotation of the one or more paddles causes the contactless switch to pivot about the axis point. The lawnmower includes a sensor configured to sense a variation of a magnetic field of the magnet, and a controller coupled to the motor and the sensor. The controller is configured to receive, from the sensor, a value associated with the variation of the magnetic field of the magnet, and control the motor based on the value of the variation of the magnetic field.
