c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the
power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TACKERS
• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners
(careless handling of the tacker can result in unexpected
firing of fasteners and personal injury)
• Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone
nearby (unexpected triggering will discharge the fastener
causing an injury)
• Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed
firmly against the workpiece (if the tool is not in
contact with the workpiece, the fastener may be deflected
away from your target)
• Disconnect the tool from the power source when the
fastener jams in the tool (while removing a jammed
fastener, the tacker may be accidentally activated if it is
plugged in)
• Use caution while removing a jammed fastener (the
mechanism may be under compression and the fastener
may be forcefully discharged while attempting to free a
jammed condition)
• Do not use this tacker for fastening electrical cables
(it is not designed for electric cable installation and may
damage the insulation of electric cables thereby causing
electric shock or fire hazards)
• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than by
hand)
• This tool is not intended for use by children and
persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge
• Ensure that children do not play with the tool
• SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only
when original accessories are used
• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the
voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do
not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug
• Never use the tool when cord is damaged; have it
replaced by a qualified person
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)

• Impact control 9
With wheel G the required impact level can be adjusted
steplessly from minimum to maximum (- / +)
- "-" for thin and light materials such as foils and fabrics
- "+" for thick and tough materials such as hard woods
and walls
- before starting a job, find the optimal impact level by
testing out on spare material
