Abstract

The invention relates to a hand-held tool, in particular a nail-setting device, comprising a handle for manual actuation of the hand-held tool, an interface for fastening the hand-held tool to a remote actuation device, a control apparatus for controlling the hand-held tool in a manual mode and in a remote actuation mode, and a querying apparatus for querying whether the hand-held tool is fastened to a remote actuation device, wherein the control apparatus controls the hand-held tool in the manual mode if the querying apparatus detects that the hand-held tool is not fastened to a remote actuation device, and wherein the control apparatus controls the hand-held tool in the remote actuation mode if the querying apparatus detects that the hand-held tool is fastened to a remote actuation device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hand-held device comprising a power nail-setting tool operable in a manual mode and in a remote actuation mode;
the hand-held device further comprising
a handle for manually actuating the power nail-setting tool;
an interface for providing communication between the power nail-setting tool and a remote actuation device;
an interrogator for interrogating whether the power nail-setting tool is actuated by the remote actuation device through the interface, wherein the power nail-setting tool is operable in the manual mode if the interrogator detects that the power nail-setting tool is not actuated by the remote actuation device, and wherein the power nail-setting tool is operable in the remote actuation mode if the interrogator detects that the power nail-setting tool is actuated by the remote actuation device through the interface.

2. The hand-held device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the interrogator comprises a switch.

3. The hand-held device as recited in claim 2 , wherein the switch is actuatable.

4. The hand-held device of claim 3 , wherein the switch is actuatable by any one of the following: mechanically, electromechanical, optically, inductively, and capacitively.

5. The hand-held device as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a pressing sensor for detecting whether the power nail-setting tool is pressed against a substrate, wherein in the manual mode triggering of the power nail-setting tool is enabled only if the power nail-setting tool is pressed against the substrate, and wherein in the remote actuation mode triggering of the power nail-setting tool occurs if the power nail-setting tool is pressed against the substrate.

6. The hand-held device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the detection device comprises an actuation element, wherein the actuation element actuates the switch when the hand-held device is actuated by the remote actuation device.

7. The hand-held device as recited in claim 1 wherein the remote actuation device has a handle element.

8. The hand-held device of claim 7 , wherein the handle element comprises a pole.
