1. A method of controlling operation of a power saw including a saw blade, the method comprising:
receiving, with a wireless communication controller of the power saw and from an external device, a selected first speed, a selected second speed, a selected characteristic to be monitored to cause a speed change of a motor of the power saw during operation of the motor, and a selected threshold, wherein each of the selected first speed, the selected second speed, the selected characteristic to be monitored, and the selected threshold was selected via a user input on the external device, the power saw including:
a housing,
the motor within the housing, wherein the motor includes a rotor and a stator,
a transmission coupled between the motor and a spindle, wherein the transmission converts rotational motion of the motor to motion of the spindle, and
the saw blade coupled to the spindle;
controlling, with an electronic processor of the power saw, the motor of the power saw to operate in a first stage of operation based on the selected first speed in response to determining that a trigger of the power saw has been actuated;
determining, with the electronic processor and based on information received from a sensor of the power saw that is configured to monitor the selected characteristic to be monitored, whether the selected characteristic to be monitored has reached the selected threshold; and
controlling, with the electronic processor, the motor to operate in a second stage of operation based on the selected second speed in response to determining that the selected characteristic to be monitored has reached the selected threshold.
