Zusammenfassung:A power tool includes a motor, a power circuit coupled to the motor, and a speed sensor coupled to the motor. The power circuit provides power to the motor. The speed sensor detects a position of the motor. The power tool also includes an electronic processor coupled to the motor and the speed sensor. The electronic processor is configured to receive an output signal from the speed sensor indicative of a measured speed of the motor at a first time, determine a cumulative value based on the measured speed of the motor, and interrupt power from the power circuit to the motor when the cumulative value exceeds an accumulator threshold.
