Structural Materials and
Clearances (DIGA CS-1)
Fastening bolts may not be driven into unsuit-
able materials or building components.
Recommended Structural Material
Check the thickness of the structural material. The
minimum required penetration depth of the fasten-
ing bolts and the minimum strength of the structural
material must be given in order to reach secure fas-
tening of the attachment.

Minimum clearances and edge distances of
structural materials (according to § 18 BGV D9)
The distance from the shooting location to any free
edge must be large enough, to avoid sideward ex-
pulsion of the fastening bolt.
The fastening bolts must be driven-in with such clear-
ance to each other, that expulsion at the shooting
location due to breaking out or rupturing of the
material is avoided.

Adjusting the Drive Depth
(DIGA WO)
The nail drive depth is adjusted with the thum-
bwheel 16:
Turning left: Reduces the drive depth
Turning right: Increases the drive depth
