Patent ID: 8408327

Claim:
A method comprising: providing a driving tool having a driver, a motor assembly and an electrical power source, the driver being movable along an axis, the motor assembly including a motor and an output member, that is driven by the motor and employed to transmit power to the driver to thereby cause the driver to translate along the axis; setting a time interval of a first cycle portion; transmitting electrical power from the electrical power source to the motor over the first cycle portion to thereby rotate the output member, wherein transmission of electrical power to the motor is interrupted after the first cycle portion; determining a parameter related to a rotational speed of the output member; operating the driving tool to transmit power from the output member to the driver to advance the driver after the first cycle portion is complete; and increasing the time interval of the first cycle portion after electrical power to the motor has been interrupted after the first cycle portion if a magnitude of the parameter is less than a predetermined threshold.
