In the ETICS screw-in anchor Gecko U8, spiral and anchor are set independently of each other. The two-component concept offers one significant advantage: The cordless drill setting can be optimally adjusted to the substrate. In the following, we will show you how to use your cordless drill\u2019s torque and speed for secure and quick fastening.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speed and torque settings<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cordless drills usually have two gears for speed control, marked by the numbers 1 and 2. In the lower gear, the cordless drill rotates slower but with more power. In the second gear, the cordless drill reaches its maximum torque, however, transmitting less power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The torque in commercially available cordless drills can also be set manually, which limits the cordless drill\u2019s power transmission or controls the activation of the slip clutch depending on the power output. Even though power output is defined in newton metre (Nm), in cordless drills it is indicated in various settings. In our example, the power drill has 20 adjustable power settings and one drilling setting which is shown by a corresponding symbol. This setting allows for full power transmission without any limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cordless drilling setting for the Gecko U8<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the Gecko U8, we use the slower setting (first gear) to screw in the spiral while keeping the torque in the drilling setting. We work with maximum power to screw in the spiral into the insulation material. Once the spiral is securely set in the insulation material and we have drilled through it in the substrate, the screw-in anchor is fastened in the substrate. In this step, it\u2019s important that the screw-in anchor doesn\u2019t start to spin in the substrate, which will be classified as a wrong setting by the ETA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
