Abstract

A handheld power tool with a rotatable tool, in which the handheld power tool is a saw blade or milling cutter. The handheld power tool includes a sensor device for detecting a mechanical vector quantity. The mechanical vector quantity includes a force, an acceleration, a velocity, a deflection, a deformation and/or a mechanical stress and the mechanical vector quantity depends on a force emanating from the handheld tool. The handheld power tool also includes a control device which is communicatively coupled to the sensor device and is adapted to recognize an event and/or a state of the power tool according to a direction and/or change of direction of the mechanical vector quantity detected by the sensor device.
