Abstract
Power tools described herein include an electric motor, a driver blade, a trigger switch, a safety switch, and an electronic controller. The electronic controller is connected to the electric motor, the trigger switch, and the safety switch. The electronic controller is configured to initiate a retraction cycle by controlling the electric motor to move the driver blade from a first position to a second position, determine a position of the driver blade during the retraction cycle, initiate, in response to the position of the driver blade exceeding a first threshold, a braking cycle at the electric motor, and abort, in response to detecting a first activation of the trigger switch and a second activation of the safety switch, the braking cycle.
