Abstract: Kickback control methods for power tools. One power tool includes a movement sensor configured to measure an angular velocity of the housing of the power tool about the rotational axis. The power tool includes an electronic processor coupled to the switching network and the movement sensor and configured to implement kickback control of the power tool. To implement the kickback control, the electronic processor is configured to control the switching network to drive the brushless DC motor, receive measurements of the angular velocity of the housing of the power tool from the movement sensor, determine that a plurality of the measurements of the angular velocity of the housing of the power tool exceed a rotation speed threshold, and control the switching network to cease driving of the brushless DC motor in response to determining that the plurality of the measurements of the angular velocity exceed the rotation speed threshold.

Abstract: A power tool including a housing, a motor, a first sensing circuit configured to detect a battery pack voltage of a battery pack connected to a battery pack interface, a second sensing circuit configured to detect a current from the battery pack, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a first signal from the first sensing circuit related to a first measurement of battery pack voltage, receive a second signal from the second sensing circuit related to the current from the battery pack, receive a third signal from the first sensing circuit related to a second measurement of battery pack voltage, and control the motor by adjusting motor control parameters based on the first measurement of battery pack voltage, the second measurement of battery pack voltage, and the current from the battery pack.

Abstract: A trigger assembly for a power tool includes a housing, a moveable plunger extending from a surface of the housing, the movable plunger includes a first end disposed externally from the housing and a second end disposed internally within the housing. The trigger assembly further includes a trigger shoe coupled to the first end of the moveable plunger, and an arm including a first side that is moveably connected to the second end of the moveably plunger and a second side that is coupled to a magnet. The trigger assembly also includes a sensor configured to sense a magnetic field of the magnet. Movement of the trigger shoe rotates the magnet, and alters the magnetic field sensed by the sensor.

Abstract: A device, such as a power tool, configured to receive a battery pack that is operable to determine a type of battery pack that is attached to the device. When the battery pack is connected to the device, the device is configured to determine an impedance of the battery pack. Based on the determined impedance of the battery pack, the device is capable of detecting the particular type of battery pack that has been attached. In some embodiments, the device is configured to be controlled based on the type of battery pack that has been detected by the device.

Abstract: A power tool including a housing, an input, a gear train, a motor at least partially supported by the housing and coupled to the gear train, and a controller including a processor and a memory. The controller is coupled to the input and the motor and is configured to receive an input signal from the input, determine an operating direction and an operating speed based on the input signal, cause the motor to rotate the gear train in a direction opposite the operating direction for a predetermined amount of rotation, and cause the motor to rotate in the operating direction at the operating speed.
