Claim 0:
1. A method for configuring a power tool assembly comprising:
detecting one or more orientations of the power tool assembly and generating orientation data in response thereto with at least one sensor;
selecting at least one tool configuration setting with a user interface, the at least one tool configuration setting corresponding to at least one orientation of the power tool assembly; and
communicating with the at least one sensor and the user interface with an electronic control unit, the electronic control unit:
processing the orientation data from the at least one sensor,
determining an orientation of the power tool assembly based on the orientation data,
changing a tool configuration of the power tool assembly based on the at least one tool configuration setting and the determined orientation of the power tool assembly; and
changing the tool configuration by selecting between at least a first tool configuration setting and a second tool configuration setting, the first tool configuration setting selected when the power tool assembly is determined to have a first orientation and the second tool configuration setting selected when the power tool assembly is determined to have a second orientation.
