service center when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or
fire.

any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.
• NEvER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
• 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.
