Patent attributes
It is an object of the present invention to provide a technique to increase efficiency of the output torque of the blushless motor to drive a power tool. A representative power tool may comprise a tool bit, a brushless motor to drive the tool bit, a battery to operate the brushless motor and a control device. The control device may operate the brushless motor by means of the battery. The control device may include an advance angle controlling section to control an advance angle of the brushless motor. According to the present teachings, the advance angle of the brushless motor may be determined based upon indexes that reflect working condition of the tool bit when the brushless motor is under the operation. By reflecting the working condition of the tool bit to the determination of the advance angle of the brushless motor, the brushless motor can be operated with higher efficiency under the various working condition such as a hard joint operation and a soft joint operation.
