Patent ID: 10605406

Abstract:
A hand-held power tool (100) may include an electric power source (110), an electric motor (120) selectively coupled to the electric power source (110), a working assembly (130) operably coupled to the electric motor (120) to perform a working function responsive to actuation of the electric motor (120), and a control assembly (140) operably coupled to the electric motor (120) to provide selective control over actuation of the electric motor (120). The control assembly (140) may be configured to provide the selective control based on performance of at least two dissimilar operator actions. The control assembly (140) may include a sensing member (210) and a throttle control member (200). The sensing member (210) may be configured to be operable to an actuated state responsive to an enabling action comprising a first of the two dissimilar operator actions. The throttle control member (200) may be configured to be repeatedly operable responsive to actuation of the throttle control member (200) while the sensing member (210) is in the actuated state. Actuation of the throttle control member (200) may include a second of the two dissimilar operator actions.
