Abstract
A method for anchoring a fastening element to a flat steel member, in which the fastening element is driven into a blind hole previously drilled in the steel member is disclosed. Initially, in a first step of the method, a metal disk is adhesively bonded to the steel member. In a subsequent second step, a blind hole is drilled into the stack formed by the metal disk and the steel member and, in a subsequent third step, the fastening element is driven into the pre-drilled blind hole in the stack using a hand-held drive-in tool.
