Abstract
A power tool includes a housing, a brushless motor disposed inside the housing, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive power-off signals and power-on signals. Upon receiving a power-on signal, the controller is further configured to receive a time signal indicative of a time interval from the last power-off signal to the current power-on signal. The controller is further configured to determine whether the time interval is greater than or equal to a first time threshold and less than a second time threshold, and brake the motor before start-up if the time interval is greater than or equal to the first time threshold and less than the second time threshold.
