from naked flames or sparks.
If the smell of gas remains perceptible after the gas
cartridge has been inserted, remove the gas car-
tridge immediately and identify the cause.
Note
The gas cartridge is not emptied com-
pletely. There is always a small amount
of residual gas (pressure gas) in the
gas cartridge.

Substrate and separations
Caution
Pins may not be driven in unsuitable materials or
components.
Recommended substrate
Check the substrate thickness. The minimum pen-
etration depth of the driving pin and the minimum
strength of the surface must be maintained. This
ensures the secure hold of the fastening.
Substrate
Penetra-
tion depth
Concrete (DIN 1045,
18 - 25 mm
C10/15 - C 40/50)
Calcium silicate
approx. 32 m 100 mm
Steel
5 mm or
greater
Solid brick
15 -32 mm
Minimum distance of the substrate
from centres and edges (see also the
provisions of the German BGV D9
2002)
The distance to free edges must be sufficient to
prevent the pin from lateral penetration.
Do not drive in the pins too close in order to prevent
them from comming loose from their fixing position
in case the material breakes out or tears away.
