• Do not disassemble charger, take it to an authorized service
center when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly
may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting
any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.

• The charger is designed to operate on standard 120 volt
household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on any
other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.
Using Automatic
Tune-Up
TM
Mode
The automatic Tune-Up
TM
Mode equalizes or balances the
individual cells in the battery pack allowing it to function at peak
capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or after
10 charge/discharge cycles or whenever the pack no longer delivers
the same amount of work. To use the automatic Tune-Up
TM,
place
the battery pack in the charger and leave it for at least 8 hours. The
charger will cycle through the following modes.
1. The red light will blink continuously indicating that the 1-hour
charge cycle has started.
2. When the 1-hour charge cycle is complete, the light will stay on
continuously and will no longer blink. This indicates that the pack
is fully charged and can be used at this time.
3. If the pack is left in the charger after the initial 1-hour charge, the
charger will begin the Automatic Tune-Up
TM
mode. This mode
continues up to 8 hours or until the individual cells in the battery
pack are equalized. The battery pack is ready for use and can be
removed at any time during the Automatic Tune-Up
TM
mode.
4. Once the Automatic Tune-Up
TM
mode is complete, the charger
will begin a maintenance charge; the red indicator will remain lit.
