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
:
➊
Turning
left
: Reduces the drive depth
➋
Turning
right
: Increases the drive depth
The optimal drive depth is to be determined through
practical testing.
Danger of burning! In continuous operation,
the neck-down sleeve can get very hot.
Operating Instructions
Setting Bolts/Nails
1. Hold the tool firmly with both hands and ensure
secure footing.
2. DIGA CS-1: Position the tool in a right angle to
the surface of the structural material. The
neck-down sleeve
14
and the magazine base
9
must be seated securely.
3. Press the tool via the neck-down sleeve against
the surface of the structural material. This releases
the safety of the tool, the blower motor is switched
on and draws in air.
Therefore never hold your hand in front of the
air-intake opening 1 as this can lead to malfunc-
tions!
4. Pull the trigger
3
. The gas mixture is ignited elec-
trically and the fastening bolt/nail is driven into
the structural material.
