Abstract

Systems and methods for detecting and acting on bind-up conditions of a power tool. The power tool includes a housing, a motor, a battery pack, and a motion sensor configured to sense rotational motion of the housing. An electronic controller is connected to the motor, the battery pack, and the motion sensor. The electronic controller is configured to determine whether a battery fetting event is occurring and adjust a rotational motion threshold used to determine a bind-up event based on the battery fetting event. The electronic controller is further configured to receive, from the motion sensor, a first signal associated with a rotational motion of the housing, compare a value based on the signal to the rotational motion threshold, and initiate, in response to the value being greater than or equal to the rotational motion threshold, a protective operation.
