Claim 14:
15. An electronic monitoring device for power tool device geo-fence tracking, the electronic monitoring device comprising:
a display including a graphical user interface;
an electronic processor coupled to the display; and
a wireless communication device coupled to the electronic processor and configured to communicate with a power tool device;
wherein the electronic processor is configured to:
display a map on the graphical user interface,
receive, via the graphical user interface, a first user input defining a geo-fence boundary,
receive, via the graphical user interface, a selection of the power tool device to be associated with the geo-fence boundary, and
assign, in response to receiving the selection of the power tool device, the power tool device to the geo-fence boundary, wherein the power tool device being located outside the geo-fence boundary causes an action to be performed by at least one of the electronic monitoring device and the power tool device,
wherein the action performed includes one of (i) placing the power tool device in a locked mode to prevent operation of a motor of the power tool device and (ii) placing the power tool device in a limp mode to allow operation of the motor at a reduced level compared to a normal mode of operation of the power tool device, and
wherein the action includes a delayed action that is scheduled to occur at a predetermined period of time after the geographic location of the power tool device is determined to be outside the geo-fence boundary.
