  • Publication number: 20210127568
    Abstract: A garden tool includes a base, a motor arranged on the base, a cutting tool drivingly connected with the motor, a power supply, a main control module electrically connected with the power supply and used for controlling the motor, and a tilt angle detecting module connected with the main control module. The tilt angle detecting module detects a tilt angle between the cutting tool and a horizontal plane. When the tilt angle is greater than a preset value, the tilt angle detecting module sends a shutdown signal to the main control module. The main control module turns off the power supply to stop the electric motor upon receipt of the shutdown signal. A related method of use is disclosed.
