Abstract
A device records operating data of a motorized tool. The device is arranged on the tool, wherein the device has: a recording and/or evaluation device, wherein the recording and/or evaluation device is designed to record at least one variable, wherein the variable is dependent on an operating state of the tool, and to evaluate the recorded variable in order to identify the operating data, and/or to record the operating data. An operating data memory is provided, wherein the operating data memory is designed to store the identified and/or recorded operating data. A communication interface is designed, in a state connected to an external appliance, to wirelessly transmit the stored operating data thereto. The device is designed, if at least one connection criterion is met by the operating data and/or at least one connection criterion is met, wherein the connection criterion is the fact that the operating data have not been erased from the operating data memory and/or have not been transmitted, to wirelessly transmit connection information in a transmission state different from the connection state by way of the communication interface and/or to output the connection information by way of an output device of the device.
