FASTENER FUNCTIONING

Prior to learning the safe operating procedures for this tool, it is important to understand how a

powder actuated fastener works. A powder actuated fastener is considered to be a direct drive or

forced entry type of fastener because it is driven directly into the base material. The driving action

causes tremendous forces to be applied to the fastener. Powers powder actuated fasteners are

specially designed and manufactured using an austempering process to withstand the forces

imposed during the driving operation. Only fasteners manufactured or supplied by Powers

Fasteners should be used in this tool.

FUNCTIONING IN CONCRETE

The performance of a powder actuated fastener when installed into concrete or masonry base

materials is based on the following factors:

1. Strength of the base material

2. Hardness and concentration of the aggregate

3. Shank diameter of the fastener

4. Depth of embedment into the base material

5. Fastener spacing and edge distance

In addition to these factors, installation tool accessories such as a stop spall which reduces the

tendency of the concrete surface to spall during the driving action can increase the performance

of the fastener.

When a powder actuated fastener is driven into concrete, it displaces the volume of concrete

around the embedded area of the fastener shank. As this occurs, the concrete directly

surrounding the fastener is compressed and in turn presses back against the shank of the

fastener. Additionally, the driving action generates heat which causes particles within the

concrete to fuse to the shank of the fastener. This combination of compression and fusion holds

the fastener in the concrete base material. A similar action occurs when fastening into

block masonry.

Generally, the performance of the fastener in a given concrete strength will increase with

greater embedment depths in a certain range. Depending on the fastener style and base

material strength, embedment depths range from 5/8” (16mm) to 1-1/2” (38mm). For depths

greater than this range, there is the possibility of fastener bending or fishhooking which may

decrease expected load capacities and create a safety hazard.

During the driving action, some localized surface spalling of the concrete may occur. Normally,

this is a surface effect which does not effect the performance of the fastener. However, it may

pose an aesthetic problem for exposed applications where a fixture is not used. In cases such as

this, two methods can be used to improve the appearance of the fastening. A stop spall adapter

mounted on the powder actuated tool can help to reduce surface spalling. Another method used

is to drive the fastener through a steel washer to improve the appearance of the application.

FUNCTIONING IN STEEL

The load performance of a powder actuated fastener when installed into steel base materials

is based on the following factors:

1. Thickness of the steel

2. Tensile strength of the steel

3. Shank diameter of the fastener

4. Depth of point penetration through the steel

5. Fastener spacing and edge distance.

When a powder actuated fastener is driven into steel, it displaces the steel laterally 360˚ around

the shank of the fastener. Since steel is an elastic material, it presses back against the shank of

the fastener to hold it in place. As the diameter of the fastener shank is increased, the load

capacity obtained will generally increase provided the steel thickness is sufficient to accept the

fastener. To further increase fastener performance in steel, some fasteners have a knurled shank

which allows the steel to form a key lock into the grooves to provide higher capacities than those

obtained with a smooth shank. For optimum performance, the fastener point should completely

penetrate the steel. Normally, a minimum of 1/4” (6.35mm) is allowed for the point length. An

increase in performance can be expected until the fastener no longer completely penetrates

through the steel. At this point, the elastic properties of the steel cause a compression force to be

developed at an angle against the fastener point which reduces load capacity. In thicker steel

base materials, adequate load capacities may be obtained for applications in which the point of

the fastener does not fully penetrate the steel. Job site performance tests are recommended.

Fasteners should not be used in areas that have been welded or cut with a torch as these

procedures may have caused local hardening of the steel. Over driving of the fastener should be

avoided as the rebound created may reduce the load capacity or cause damage to the fastener.

When fastening into unsupported long steel members, it may be necessary to provide support in

the area of the fastening to prevent spring action which can cause inconsistent penetration and

a reduction in load capacity.

SUITABLE BASE MATERIAL

While powder actuated fasteners can be used successfully in concrete, certain masonry

materials, and A 36 steel, some materials are completely unsuitable. Fasteners should never

be fired into hard or brittle materials such as cast iron, tile, glass, or rock. These materials can

shatter easily resulting in a potential safety hazard. In addition, soft base materials such as

wallboard, plaster, or wood are not appropriate as the fastener could pass completely through

these materials. The user should never guess when fastening into any base material. Failure to

follow the recommended installation and safety guidelines can result in severe injury or death to

the tool operator and/or bystanders.

CENTER PUNCH TEST

A center punch test should always be performed to determine the suitability of the base

material for a powder actuated fastening. This test is relatively simple and can help to insure a

safe, successful fastening. Be sure to wear the appropriate eye protection when performing this

test. To begin, select the fastener to be used for the job. Then, place the point of the fastener

against the proposed base material. Strike the fastener with a single hammer blow, then

examine the point. If the point of the fastener is not blunted and the base material has a clear

point indentation, it is acceptable to proceed with the first test installation.

MODEL P3600 CAT. NO.52010/Deluxe Kit

5 P3600

Use of a powder actuated system is not recommended if the following occurs during the center

punch test:

1. The fastener point has been blunted. This indicates that the base material is too hard.

2. The base material cracks or shatters. This indicates that the base material is too brittle.

3. When using an average hammer blow, the fastener penetrates the base material easily.

This indicates that the base material is too soft.

FASTENER INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

It is important to understand the required minimum base material thickness requirements along

with the minimum spacing and edge distance requirements. Failure to follow these requirements

can result in an unsuccessful fastening and create a safety hazard.

BASE MATERIAL THICKNESS

Concrete base material should be at least three (3) times as thick as the fastener embedment

penetration. If the concrete is too thin, the compressive forces forming at the fasteners point

can cause the free face of the concrete to break away. This can create a dangerous condition

from flying concrete and/or the fastener and also results in a reduction of fastener holding

power. For applications in the face shell of concrete masonry block, select a fastener length

which will not exceed the thickness of the face shell.

FASTENER PENETRATION GUIDE

The following table lists typical embedment or penetration depths expected in the base

materials listed. The penetration will vary depending on the density of the material. This

table should be used as a guide since the consistency of these materials varies. When in

doubt, a job site performance test should be conducted.

DENSITY TYPICAL BASE MATERIAL PENETRATION

Soft Masonry Concrete block 1" (26mm) -1-1/4" (32mm)

Average concrete Poured concrete 3/4" (19mm) - 1" (26mm)

Dense concrete Pre-stressed/pre-cast concrete 5/8" (16mm) - 3/4" (19mm)

EDGE DISTANCE

Do not fasten closer than 3" (76mm) from the edge of concrete. If the concrete cracks, the

fastener may not hold. Closer edge distances for applications such as sill plates may be

permitted if specific fastener testing has been conducted.

SPACING

Setting fasteners too close together in concrete or masonry can cause cracking. The

recommended minimum distance between fasteners is 3" (76mm) center to center.

FASTENER LENGTH SELECTION IN CONCRETE

For permanent applications using pins in concrete, first determine the thickness of the fixture to

be fastened. To this, add the required embedment or penetration into the base material. This will

be the fastener shank length required. For applications in the face shell of masonry block, select

a fastener length which will not exceed the thickness of the face shell.

For removable applications with threaded studs, the shank length required is equal to the

embedment depth required. To determine the minimum threaded length, add the thickness of

the fixture and the nut / washer thickness. The nut and washer thickness is equal to the

nominal thread diameter. Do not over tighten threaded parts. Maximum tightening torque

values are listed in the table below. Use of a nut setter is recommended to reduce the

possibility of over tightening the fasteners. For critical applications, perform a job site test.

INSTALLATION IN STEEL

The following guidelines are based on the installation of a fastener in ASTM A 36 structural

steel with the point fully penetrating the steel member. Recommended steel material thickness

ranges from a minimum of 1/8" (3mm) to a maximum of 3/8"(10mm). For use in higher

strength structural steel, applications where the point does not penetrate the steel member, or a

thickness of steel greater than 3/8"(10mm), job site performance tests are recommended.

BASE MATERIAL THICKNESS

Steel base materials should be a minimum of 1/8" (3mm) in thickness.

EDGE DISTANCE

For installations in A 36 steel, 1/2" (13mm) is the recommended minimum edge distance.

SPACING

The recommended minimum distance between fastenings is 1-1/2" (38mm) center to center for

installations in ASTM A 36 steel.

FASTENER LENGTH SELECTION IN STEEL

For permanent applications when using pins in steel, first determine the thickness of the

fixture to be fastened. To this, add the thickness of the steel base material plus a minimum

of 1/4" (6mm) to allow for proper point penetration. This will be the minimum fastener shank

length required. Do not select a fastener length longer than that required for the application.

An excessively long shank can burnish or polish the hole created in the steel resulting in a

reduction in load capacity.

For removable applications with threaded studs, the shank length required is equal to the

thickness of the steel base material plus a minimum of 1/4" (6mm) to allow for proper point

penetration. This will be the minimum fastener shank length required. Do not select a shank

length longer than that required for the application. An excessively long shank can burnish or

polish the hole created in the steel resulting in a reduction in load capacity. To determine the

minimum threaded length, add the thickness of the fixture and the nut / washer thickness. The

nut and washer thickness is equal to the nominal thread diameter.

Do not over tighten threaded studs, the maximum tightening torque is listed in the table below.

Use of a nut setter is recommended to reduce the possibility of over tightening the fasteners.

For critical applications, perform a job site test.

Safety Precautions

Safety is your primary responsibility when operating any

powder actuated tool. You must read and understand

the contents of this manual. You must be familiar with

all functional and safety requirements of the tool. It is

your responsibility to obtain proper training and a

Powers Fasteners operator card prior to using this tool in

compliance with the current American National Standard

A10.3 Safety Requirements for Powder Actuated

Fastening Systems and the Federal Occupational Safety

and Health Administration Standards (OSHA). Existing

state or local regulations should also be followed. When

using this tool, you must have the qualified operators

card in your possession.

Revocation of card - Failure to comply with any of the

rules and regulations for safe operation of powder

actuated tools shall be cause for the immediate

revocation of your qualified operator card.

The following is a summary of safety precautions to be

followed when operating a Powers Fasteners powder

actuated tool. Failure to follow these safety instructions

can result in serious injury or death to operators

or bystanders.

PRIOR TO OPERATING THE TOOL

1. Warning signs should always be posted within the area

in which a powder actuated tool is to be used. These

signs should be at least 8" (203mm) x 10" (254mm) in

size with boldface type that is not less than 1" (26mm)

in height. The sign should state "Powder Actuated Tool

In Use".

2. Approved safety goggles should always be worn by

operator or bystander, to protect their eyes from flying

particles. Hearing protection should always be worn by

the operator and bystanders when using a powder

actuated tool. Other personal safety protection as

required should also be used.

3. Never modify or fabricate parts for use in your Powers

tool. Use only Powers Fasteners, loads, and tool parts.

4. Hands or other body parts must never be placed in front

of muzzle/barrel. Accidental discharge can cause piston

and/or fastener to pass through the operator’s hand.

5. Never compress the tool against any part of the body.

Serious injury or death may result in the event of an

accidental discharge.

6. Always point tool in a safe direction at all times.

7. Use the tool for its intended purpose only.

PREPARATION FOR LOADING THE TOOL

1. Tools must be checked prior to operating to make sure

they are not fully or partially loaded with a powder load

or fastener.

2. To insure safe operation, perform the daily function test

described in this manual. Be sure the tool is not loaded

prior to performing this test.

3. Do not operate this tool unless all its parts are in place

and operating appropriately. Never attempt to use a

malfunctioning tool. Call 1-800-524-3244 for assistance.

4. Never guess about the suitability of a base material. If

you are uncertain about the suitability of a base

material, perform a center punch test.

5. Do not operate the tool until you learn and understand

the color code / numbering system used to identify the

power level of powder loads.

OPERATING THE TOOL

1. Only use fasteners and powder loads designed for this

tool as supplied by Powers Fasteners.

2. Do not use powder actuated tools in a flammable or an

explosive atmosphere.

3. Do not fire a tool without a fastener. The piston will

impact the work surface possibly causing serious injury

to the operator or bystanders along with damage to

the tool.

4. Do not load the tool until you are ready to make a

fastening. Check the power load level before inserting it

into the tool chamber.

5. Fastener must be loaded prior to loading the powder

load, to prevent injury to operator or bystander in the

event of an accidental discharge.

6. Do not close tool against work surface. The tool should

be manually closed, with hand away from muzzle/barrel

to prevent accidental discharge.

7. Hold the tool perpendicular to the work surface at all

times. Use a spall guard wherever possible. This will limit

the possibility of fastener ricochet which could cause

serious injury or death to the operator or bystanders.

8. Always perform a test fastening with the lightest load

level designed for use in the tool. If the lightest load

fails to set the fastener, try the next highest load until

the proper level is attained. Failure to follow this

procedure may cause the fastener to be overpowered.

If this occurs, the fastener may fully penetrate the base

material causing serious injury or death to someone.

Overpowering the fastener can also damage the tool,

creating a safety hazard to both the operator

or bystanders.

9. Do not fasten into cast iron, tile, glass, or other types of

brittle materials. These materials can shatter and create

sharp fragments which may cause injury.

MODEL P3600 CAT. NO.52010/Deluxe Kit

9 P3600

10. Do not fire tool within 3"(three inches) (76mm) of the

edge of a concrete base material or within 1/2"(one-

half inch) (13mm) of the edge of a steel base material.

11. Do not attempt to install a fastener closer than 3"

(three inches) (76mm) to another previously inserted

fastener in concrete or 1-1/2" (one and one-half inch)

(38mm) in steel.

12. Do not fasten into a concrete base material less than

3 times as thick as the fastener penetration or into

a steel base material thinner than 1/8”(3mm).

13. Never attempt to install a fastener in a cracked or

spalled area in concrete. Place fastener at least 3”

(three inches) (76mm) away from a spalled area to

prevent the possibility of the fastener bending and

striking an operator or bystander.

14. Do not attempt to install fasteners in areas that have

been welded or cut with a torch as these procedures

may have caused local hardening of the steel.

15. Do not fasten through a predrilled hole unless

proper guidance is provided.

16. If you decide not to make a fastening after the tool has

been loaded, you must always remove the powder load

first followed by the fastener.

17. Never attempt to override the safety features of this tool.

HANDLING THE TOOL AND POWDER LOADS

1. Never leave a loaded tool unattended. Once the tool

is loaded, make the fastening immediately or unload

the tool.

2. Always unload the tool before work breaks, changing

parts, cleaning or servicing, and when storing.

3. To prevent accidental discharge of loads, never carry the

powder loads in the same container as the fasteners or

other hard objects.

4. Always store the powder loads in the containers

provided or in an enclosure provided for them. Never

intermix the various power levels. Keep them

segregated in clearly identified containers.

5. Powder loads should never be used in firearms. They are

normally more powerful that the cartridges supplied

with the firearms.

6. Powder actuated tools and powder loads should always be

stored under lock and key. Tools must be unloaded when

not in use.

TOOL MALFUNCTION

1. In the event that a load fails to discharge after the

trigger is pulled, the tool must be kept depressed

against the work surface for a minimum of 30 (thirty)

seconds in case of a delayed load discharge. Then

carefully remove the entire load strip. and dispose of it

in a can of water or other nonflammable liquid. Never

attempt to force or pry a load out of a tool chamber.

2. Never discard unfired powder loads into a trash container.

3. Do not attempt to unload or disassemble a jammed,

stuck or broken tool as improper handling may cause it

to discharge and strike operator and/or bystander. A

jammed tool must be pointed in a safe direction at all

times. Tag the tool and lock it up. Call your Powers

Fasteners representative for proper assistance.

Tool Operation

CAUTION:

— Be sure to read and understand all of the safety precautions and training in

this manual before attempting to operate the tool. (Check to be sure the tool is not loaded, the

piston moves freely within the barrel, and no foreign objects or fasteners are in the barrel.)

Perform the daily function test before using the tool.

OPERATION

1. Always load the fastener before inserting powder load to prevent injury to the operator or

bystanders in the event of an accidental discharge. Place the fastener, point out, into the end of

the guide until the fluted tip fits inside. Do not use excessive force when inserting the fastener. If

excessive force is required, stop and determine why the fastener can not be inserted. Correct the

problem before proceeding.

Note: Do not use fasteners longer than 3" (76mm) as listed in the fastener selection section of

this manual. Pins longer than 2-1/2" (64mm) require pre-driving.

2. Always point the tool in a safe direction away from bystanders and the operator. In one

movement, slide the barrel forward then close it against the stop. The barrel should be pulled

fully forward to reset the piston for the next fastening. Loss of power may result from an

im properly positioned piston.

Do not attempt to close the tool by exerting force on the front of the barrel. Never place your

fingers or hands over muzzle end of the tool. The safe position for hands and fingers are as

shown in the diagram. Hands must never be placed in front of the tool muzzle or barrel.

In the event of an accidental discharge, the piston and/or fastener can pass through the

operator's hand.

3. Insert the powder load strip into the bottom of the tool handle starting with the lowest power

level, 5/Red. The strip should be inserted completely and should be flush with the bottom of the

handle. Always insert the strip from the bottom of the handle.

If this load does not fully set the fastener, try the next higher power level until the proper

level is found.

Note: Over driving or over powering a fastener can cause a safety hazard.

4. To make a fastening, place the tool against the work surface. Hold the tool firmly with two

hands and completely depress the barrel. Then squeeze the trigger. Always hold the tool

perpendicular to the work surface. Hold the tool firmly against the work surface to avoid

excessive recoil. Never depress the tool against anything except the work surface. Note: In the

event that the load does not discharge after the trigger is pulled, continue to hold the tool

depressed against the work surface for at least 30 (thirty) seconds in case of a delayed load

discharge. Then carefully remove the entire load strip and dispose of it in a can of water or other

non flammable liquid. Never attempt to force or pry a load out of a tool chamber. Do not

discard unfired loads into a trash container.

5. To prepare for the next fastening, point the tool in a safe direction. Always insert a new fastener

before loading or advancing the powder load strip. Insert the fastener as described in step 1.

Once the fastener is inserted, cycle the tool as described in step 2. Repeat this procedure for

subsequent fastenings. When the ten load strip has been completely fired, remove it by pulling it

from the top of the tool body.

Note: Do not attempt to unload or disassemble a jammed, stuck or broken tool as improper

handling may cause it to discharge and strike the operator and/or bystander. A jammed tool

must be pointed in a safe direction at all times. Tag the tool and lock it up. Call your Powers

Fasteners representative for proper assistance.

Proper Maintenance and Cleaning

MAKE SURE THE TOOL IS NOT LOADED. BE SURE THE TOOL IS NOT HOT PRIOR TO

ATTEMPTING DISASSEMBLY OR CLEANING.

DAILY FUNCTION TEST

Check the functioning of the tool, without a powder load or fastener in the tool, by pushing down against the work

surface, pulling the trigger, and releasing the tool from the work surface. Function the unloaded tool several times and

insure that the breech parts and firing mechanism operate freely before fastening with the tool.

Your Powers Fasteners Authorized representative should be asked to assist the first time you disassemble and clean

your tool.

If you ever have any trouble reassembling the tool, or have any doubt about worn parts, call your Powers Fasteners

Authorized Powder Distributor.

CLEANING

AIl parts should be cleaned with detergent oil and the wire brushes supplied with your tool kit. Remove heavy dirt

build-up with the brush. After cleaning with oil, all parts should be wiped thoroughly dry. Excess oil will tend to collect

dirt and dust. Wear eye protection when cleaning the tool. The piston rod, barrel assembly, and receiver should all be

cleaned of excess dirt on a daily basis. Check the condition of the piston for damage from wear and deformation.

To maintain this tool in good working condition, it is necessary to disas semble and clean the entire tool if dirt is

evident in the breech face, or if the tool appears to lose power. All parts should be cleaned with oil and wire brushes.

Remove heavy dirt. All parts should be wiped thoroughly dry after cleaning with oil.

General tool mainte nance should be performed at six month intervals or more frequently as required by the frequency

of tool use.

REPLACING OR REPAIRING THE PISTON

The piston is an expendable part and must be replaced periodically. Typical signs of a worn out

piston are: breaking, bending or mushrooming.

Prior to servicing the tool make sure there is no powder load in the tool. Use caution and do

not lose or damage any tool parts.

1. Using a pin, lift the end of the annular ball spring and rotate toward the top of the tool body.

Pull the piston stop back and out of the tool.

2. Slide the piston guide and baseplate assembly out of the tool.

3. Using a fastener, pry the shear clip off the baseplate. Replace the shear clip if it is damaged.

4. Remove the baseplate from the piston guide, then pull the piston out of the guide.

REASSEMBLY:

5. Tilt the baseplate and slide the fastener guide out. Press the guide out of the baseplate using a

piston if it does not slide out freely. Replace the guide if it is damaged.

6. Clean the piston using a wire brush. Inspect it for worn or damaged piston ring, chipped end, or

bending. Apply lubricant to the piston shank to minimize piston sticking from an overdrive con -

dition. Wipe the piston dry.

7. If a piston tip is damaged, it can be shortened a maximum of 0.20 inches (5mm). The tip of the

piston should be ground flat and at 90 degrees to the shank of the piston. The cham fer of the

piston must also be reground as shown. Piston grinding should be performed by qualified per -

sonnel using the proper equipment.

8. Press the piston into the end of the piston guide. Be sure to push it all the way back into the

guide. Ensure piston is positioned correctly in piston guide.

9. Insert the fastener guide into the baseplate.

10. Align the groove in both the piston guide and baseplate. Slide the baseplate (with fastener

guide) onto the piston guide. Press the shear clip into place. Insert the piston guide and

baseplate assembly into the liner in the tool body. Be sure to align the groove with the opening

for the piston stop.

11. Replace the piston stop and rotate the annular spring into place.

Upon reassembly of the tool perform the following test. Depress the tool against a flat, hard

surface and pull the trigger. The barrel assembly should slide smoothly inside the tool housing

assembly. The firing pin should release after the trigger has been pulled.

CAUTION:

THIS TEST SHOULD BE PERFORMED WITHOUT A PIN OR

POWDER LOAD IN THE TOOL.

FUNKTIONSWEISE VON SETZBOLZEN

Bevor Sie die sichere Bedienung dieses Werkzeugs erlernen, müssen Sie wissen, wie Setzbolzen

funktionieren. Ein Setzbolzen ist ein direkt oder unter Druck eingetriebenes Befestigungsmittel, da

er direkt in das Tragschichtmaterial getrieben wird. Beim Eintreiben wirken gewaltige Kräfte auf

den Bolzen. Setzbolzen von Powers sind speziell konstruiert und werden in einem

Zwischenstufenvergütungsverfahren gefertigt, damit sie den während des Eintreibens ausgeübten

Kräften widerstehen. In diesem Werkzeug dürfen nur Bolzen verwendet werden, die von Powers

Fasteners hergestellt oder geliefert werden.

FUNKTIONSWEISE IN BETON

Die Leistung eines in einer Tragschicht aus Beton oder Mauerwerk befestigten Setzbolzens hängt von

den folgenden Faktoren ab:

1. Festigkeit des Tragschichtmaterials

2. Härte und Konzentration des Aggregats

3. Schaftdurchmesser des Bolzens

4. Einbindungstiefe im Tragschichtmaterial

5. Bolzenabstand und Abstand von der Materialkante

Zusätzlich lässt sich die Leistung des Bolzens durch Werkzeugzubehör wie eine Abplatzsicherung

erhöhen. Diese reduziert das Abplatzen der Betonoberfläche beim Eintreiben des Bolzens.

Wenn ein Setzbolzen in Beton getrieben wird, verdrängt er den Beton um den eingebundenen

Bereich des Bolzenschafts. Dabei wird der Beton direkt um den Bolzen komprimiert, so dass er

seinerseits wiederum gegen den Schaft des Bolzens drückt. Zusätzlich entsteht beim Eintreiben

Wärme, wodurch Betonpartikel mit dem Schaft des Bolzens verschmelzen. Durch diese

Kombination von Pressung und Schmelzung wird der Bolzen in der Tragschicht aus Beton

festgehalten. Ähnliches geschieht, wenn der Bolzen in Mauerwerk befestigt wird.

Grundsätzlich nimmt die Leistung des Bolzens bei einer bestimmten Betonfestigkeit je nach

Einbindungstiefe in einem bestimmten Bereich zu. Je nach Bauart des Bolzens und Festigkeit der

Tragschicht reicht die Einbindungstiefe von 16 mm bis 38 mm. Bei einer größeren Tiefe kann sich

der Bolzen verbiegen und die Form eines Angelhakens annehmen, so dass die erwartete

Belastungsfähigkeit eventuell abnimmt; dies kann ein Sicherheitsrisiko darstellen.

Während des Eintreibens kann der Beton stellenweise abplatzen. Normalerweise handelt es sich

hierbei um einen Oberflächeneffekt, der keine Auswirkungen auf die Leistung des Bolzens hat.

Jedoch kann dies bei sichtbaren Anwendungen, in denen keine Montagevorrichtung verwendet

wird, ein ästhetisches Problem darstellen. In solchen Fällen kann man das Erscheinungsbild der

Befestigung auf zweierlei Weise verbessern. Das Abplatzen der Oberfläche lässt sich durch eine

auf dem Setzbolzenwerkzeug montierte Abplatzsicherung verringern. Eine weitere Möglichkeit

besteht darin, den Bolzen durch eine Unterlegscheibe aus Stahl zu treiben, um das

Erscheinungsbild der Befestigung zu verbessern.

FUNKTIONSWEISE IN STAHL

Die Belastungsleistung eines in einer Tragschicht aus Stahl befestigten Setzbolzens hängt von den

folgenden Faktoren ab:

1. Stärke des Stahls

2. Zugfestigkeit des Stahls

3. Schaftdurchmesser des Bolzens

4. Eindringungstiefe der Bolzenspitze durch den Stahl

5. Bolzenabstand und Abstand von der Materialkante

Wenn ein Setzbolzen in Stahl getrieben wird, verdrängt er den Stahl seitlich rund um den

Bolzenschaft. Da Stahl ein elastisches Material ist, drückt er gegen den Schaft des Bolzens und

hält diesen fest. Mit zunehmendem Schaftdurchmesser des Bolzens nimmt die erreichte Nutzlast

im Allgemeinen zu, falls die Stahlstärke zur Aufnahme des Bolzens ausreicht. Um die Leistung

eines Bolzens in Stahl weiter zu erhöhen, besitzen einige Bolzen einen gerändelten Schaft, so

dass der Stahl sich in den Rillen verkeilt. Bolzen dieser Art können stärker belastet werden als

Bolzen mit glattem Schaft. Um eine optimale Leistung zu erzielen sollte die Bolzenspitze den

Stahl vollständig durchdringen. Normalerweise ist eine Mindestspitzenlänge von 6,35 mm

zulässig. Eine höhere Leistung ist zu erwarten, bis der Bolzen den Stahl nicht mehr vollständig

durchdringt. An diesem Punkt entwickelt sich aufgrund der elastischen Eigenschaften des Stahls

eine Komprimierungskraft, die in einem Winkel gegen die Bolzenspitze wirkt, so dass sich die

Nutzlast reduziert. In stärkeren Tragschichten aus Stahl lassen sich hinreichende Nutzlasten für

Anwendungsfälle erzielen, in denen die Bolzenspitze den Stahl nicht mehr vollständig

durchdringt. Leistungstests vor Ort sind empfehlenswert.

In Bereichen, die geschweißt oder mit einem Schweißbrenner geschnitten wurden, sollten keine

Bolzen gesetzt werden, da der Stahl durch diese Bearbeitung lokal verhärtet sein kann. Ein zu

starkes Eintreiben des Bolzen ist zu vermeiden, da sich durch den dabei erzeugten Rückschlag die

Nutzlast verringern oder der Bolzen beschädigt werden kann. Wenn Bolzen in freitragenden

langen Stahlgliedern befestigt werden, muss der entsprechende Bereich eventuell gestützt

werden, damit der Stahl nicht federt, denn dies kann zu einer ungleichmäßigen Durchdringung

und damit zu einer Reduzierung der Nutzlast führen.

GEEIGNETES TRAGSCHICHTMATERIAL

Während Setzbolzen erfolgreich in Beton, bestimmte Mauerwerksmaterialien und A 36-Stahl

getrieben werden können, sind manche Materialien vollständig ungeeignet. Bolzen sollten nie in

hartes oder sprödes Material wie Gusseisen, Ziegel, Glas oder Fels geschossen werden. Diese

Materialien können ohne weiteres splittern, was zu einem potenziellen Sicherheitsrisiko führt.

Weiche Tragschichtmaterialien wie Leichtbauplatten, Gips oder Holz eignen sich nicht, da der

Bolzen diese Materialien vollständig durchschlagen kann. Der Anwender sollte sich bei

Befestigungen in Tragschichtmaterialien nie auf Vermutungen verlassen. Wenn Sie die

empfohlenen Installations- und Sicherheitsrichtlinien nicht beachten, können der Bediener oder

Unbeteiligte schwer verletzt oder getötet werden.

KÖRNUNGSTEST

Sie sollten stets einen Körnungstest durchführen, um die Eignung des Tragschichtmaterials für

Setzbolzen zu ermitteln. Dieser Test ist relativ einfach und ist gewährleistet eine sichere,

erfolgreiche Befestigung. Tragen Sie während dieses Tests den entsprechenden Augenschutz.

Wählen Sie zunächst den für Zweck zu verwendenden Bolzen aus. Setzen Sie dann die

Bolzenspitze auf das vorgesehene Tragschichtmaterial. Schlagen Sie einmal mit dem Hammer auf

den Bolzen, und untersuchen Sie dann die Spitze. Wenn die Bolzenspitze nicht stumpf geworden
