Abstract
A tool system includes a portable tool, an image capturing unit, and a control unit. The tool includes a driving unit to be activated with power supplied from a power source. The image capturing unit is provided for the tool and generates a captured image. The control unit controls the tool based on the captured image. The control unit has a work support capability. The work support capability is the capability of placing a restriction on operation of the tool when a work target identified based on the captured image does not conform to a working instruction defined by a working procedure. The control unit suspends, when finding a lifting condition satisfied while performing work-support-enabled operation, the work-support-enabled operation and thereby lifts the restriction on the operation of the tool.
