Abstract
A fastener tool that drives a fastener into a workpiece includes a housing, a driver, a motor, a flywheel, an actuator, and a controller. The motor is configured to be in either its energized state or its deenergized state. The actuator is configured to move the driver into engagement with the flywheel. The controller is operatively connected to the motor and the actuator to implement a firing sequence for driving the fastener in the drive channel into the workpiece. The controller is configured to i) control the actuator to initiate a drive engagement between the driver and the flywheel, and ii) control the motor to remain in its energized state while the flywheel is in the drive engagement with the driver transmitting the energy from the flywheel to the driver so as to move the driver along the drive axis.
