Abstract

The tool has control electronics and a wireless transmitter/receiver with an authorization code and an external transmitter/receiver in a separate device for the user to carry. Communications can be established with the tool transmitter/receiver by operating the external transmitter/receiver when the operating state is to be changed. The communications are provided only for changing the operating state and possibly the authorization code. The tool (2) has control electronics and a wireless and contactless transmitter/receiver with an authorization code, whereby a locked and released state can be differentiated, and an external transmitter/receiver (6) in a separate device (4) for the user to carry. Communications can be established with the tool transmitter/receiver in a controlled manner by operating the external transmitter/receiver when the operating state is to be changed. The communications are provided only for changing the operating state and possibly for changing the authorization code. AN Independent claim is also included for a method of operating or locking an inventive electric hand tool.
