Abstract

A power tool includes a functional element, a motor, a power supply module, a driver circuit, and a control module. The control module is electrically connected to the driver circuit and configured to output a control signal to the driver circuit to control the driver circuit. The control module is configured to: in the case where the power tool is in a first operation stage, control the driver circuit in a first control mode so that a voltage of the motor varies with a rotor position of the motor in a square wave; and in the case where the power tool is in a second operation stage, control the driver circuit in a second control mode so that the voltage of the motor varies with the rotor position of the motor in a sine wave or a saddle wave.
