Abstract
A method of detecting a workpiece jam condition in a pneumatic tool includes striking a workpiece by a blade of the tool, detecting whether a piston to which the blade is attached reaches a predetermined position within a predetermined time, and determining a workpiece jam condition has occurred if the piston does not reach the predetermined position within the predetermined time.
