Solenoid positioning methodology
First Claim
1. A method for calibrating a power tool having a structural backbone, a flywheel mounted on the structural backbone, a driver, an activation arm, which includes an arm that is pivotally coupled to the structural backbone and a roller that is supported by the arm, a cam and a solenoid with a body and a rod that is coupled to the cam, the method comprising:
- locating the roller onto a predetermined portion of the driver;
moving the body of the solenoid in a first direction until the occurrence of a first predetermined condition, the first direction being in a direction that causes the roller to be driven toward the driver; and
after the occurrence of the first predetermined condition, moving the body of the solenoid in a second direction opposite the first direction until the occurrence of a second predetermined condition and thereafter coupling the body of the solenoid to the structural backbone.

Abstract
A method for calibrating a power tool having a roller, a driver and a solenoid. The solenoid has a body and a rod and is coupled to the roller so as to be capable of selectively advancing the roller toward the driver. The method includes: locating the roller onto a predetermined portion of the driver; moving the body of the solenoid in a first direction until the occurrence of a first predetermined condition, the first direction being in a direction that causes the roller to be driven toward the driver; after the occurrence of the first predetermined condition, moving the body of the solenoid in a second direction opposite the first direction until the occurrence of a second predetermined condition and thereafter securing the body of the solenoid to inhibit further movement of the body of the solenoid.

19. A method of calibrating a power tool having a structural backbone, a flywheel mounted on the structural backbone, a driver, an activation arm, which includes an arm that is pivotally coupled to the structural backbone and a roller that is supported by the arm, a cam and a solenoid with a body and a rod that is coupled to the cam, the rod of the solenoid and the roller being a portion of a drive-line that is selectively employed to engage the driver to the flywheel, the method comprising:
-
locating the roller onto a predetermined portion of the driver;
placing a member of a predetermined thickness between the roller and the predetermined portion of the driver;
moving the body of the solenoid in a first direction until the occurrence of a predetermined condition, predetermined condition being a condition where the driver is engaged to the flywheel, the roller is engaged to the driver and no clearance exists between each adjacent pair of the plurality of components that form the drive-line; and
coupling the body of the solenoid to the structural backbone.
