Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure provide a system and method of operating a power tool. The method includes measuring a battery current draw, sampling the battery current draw to generate a plurality of battery current samples, calculating an averaged current value by averaging the plurality of battery current samples, and comparing the averaged current value with a predetermined current value. The method also includes determining a number of motor revolutions, comparing the number of motor revolutions to a startup threshold, and determining a cycle is complete and stopping the motor when the number of motor revolutions exceeds the startup threshold and the averaged current value is greater than the predetermined current value.
