POWER TOOL
First Claim
1. A power tool comprising:
- a motor which drives a tool;
a rotating speed adjusting switch which is displaced by manipulation by a user;
a regulating member which regulates an upper limit position when the rotating speed adjusting switch is displaced to an upper limit position of any one of a plurality of stages by the manipulation by the user; and
a control unit which controls an amount of a current flowing to the motor by a duty ratio based on a manipulation amount of the rotating speed adjusting switch, the control unit increasing the rotating speed of the motor in accordance with an increase in the manipulation amount, a predetermined set number of duty ratios being set for each of the plurality of stages, and a proportion of the set number of duty ratios to a manipulable amount of the rotating speed adjusting switch being higher in a first stage, where the upper limit position is the smallest, than in stages other than the first stage.

Abstract
A power tool includes a motor, a rotating speed adjusting switch, a regulating member, and a control unit. The regulating member regulates an upper limit position when the switch is displaced by manipulation by a user into an upper limit of any one of stages by the manipulation by the user. The control unit controls an amount of a current flowing to the motor by a duty ratio based on a manipulation amount of the switch, thereby increasing the rotating speed of the motor in accordance with an increase of the manipulation amount. A predetermined set number of duty ratios are set for each of the stages. A proportion of the predetermined set number of duty ratios to a manipulable amount of the switch is higher in a first stage having the lowest upper limit position than in the stages other than the first stage.
