Ciao a tutti,
Stavo pensando di mettere questo chiodo da 2 cm nel muro per appendere un poster. Probabilmente ci sto pensando troppo, ma vorrei sapere se è il caso di controllare la presenza di cavi elettrici nel muro prima di martellarlo. Oppure questo è irrilevante a causa delle dimensioni del chiodo ed è importante solo per la foratura?
Meglio prevenire che curare xD
Grazie per il tuo feedback!

You should always check for cables in any instance where you are nailing or drilling a wall.
But cables usually run in straight paths, so as long as you are not nailing it straight above/to the side of an outlet or switch, it should be fine.
when placing the electric cables there is like a strict rule in germany ( so I was told when I drilled in the wall for my curtains)
so check for where your sockets are, the wires should go in a straight line up and at the top they meet so if ur not putting the nail right underneath a socket you should be fine
As a rule of thump. Do not drill or hammer nails in a wall, directly above, below or perpendicular in a straight line to a power outlet or light switch.
I hammered drilled and screwed countless things into walls here, and never, even once hit a cable.
Sticky tape if its really a poster
Yes, especially (but not exclusively) if you are near the “[Installationszone](https://www.sanier.de/elektroinstallation/installationszonen)”.
Look where the existing plug outlets in the room are, as well as where any light fixtures come out of the ceiling. Now imagine the shortest lines connecting them to each other. Most of the time, that’s where the wires will be. Go at least 10cm to the side and you should be fine.
As a rule, the plaster alone is 1.5 to 2 cm thick. There are guidelines regarding where electrical wiring may be routed. Horizontally, it should be about 30 cm above the floor (at outlet height) or 30 cm below the ceiling. If a cable needs to be routed from the bottom up (for light switches or wall sconces), it must follow a straight vertical line. You’ll be fine as long as you don’t hammer your nail into the spots I mentioned
IF you don’t want to burn down yours flat, etc – yes, better to check if there any cables.
Yes
Kind of always yes, but like the other guy said, look up Installationszone. But there is always a chance some lazy guy ignored them.
