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

The charger is designed to operate on standard 120v

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™ Mode

The automatic Tune-Up™ 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™, 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 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 Tune-Up mode.

4. Once the Automatic Tune Up mode is complete, the charger will

begin a maintenance charge; the red indicator will remain lit.
