Control device for controlling a tool comprising an electric motor

Abstract

Control device (1) for controlling a tool having an electric motor (2), comprising a control unit (3) and an actuating unit (4), wherein the actuating unit (4) has an actuating element (40) which can be actuated along a travel path and is configured to provide a position signal dependent on an actuating position of the actuating element (40) along the travel path, wherein the control unit (3) is configured to process the position signal and to determine a control variable for controlling and / or regulating the electric motor (2) depending on the position signal, characterized in that the control unit (3) is configured to determine an actuating speed of the actuating element (40) on the basis of a temporal change of the position signal and to determine the control variable as a function of the position signal and the actuating speed.
