A power tool and control method is disclosed. The power tool has a striker, which is guided along an axis parallel to an impact direction. A pneumatic chamber has a volume which varies with a movement of the striker along the axis. A valve device that is actuatable depending upon the movement direction of the striker connects the pneumatic chamber with an air reservoir. The valve device is actuated to open in the case of a movement of the striker in the impact direction and in the case of a movement of the striker against the impact direction is actuated to throttle or close. The throttled or closed valve device restricts an air flow flowing through it to a maximum of one tenth of the value as compared to the air flow in an opened position.
