you should have 2 holes in the tuner... stik your guitar lead into INPUT. and the other end into your guitar.
turn the tuner on and strum the E string (THICKEST) and tune it till the light goes green or till it gives you an indication that its in tune.
do this for oll the other strings and you have got a tuned guitar

i always use the good old fashioned ear tuning. get the low e string to tune to e on piano. then its the 5th fret on the e string is the same as the A string.
5th on A string is same as D. 5th on D is same as G. 4th on G is same as B. and 5th on B is same as high E.

the strings thickest to thinest
6E (thickest)
5A
4D
3G
2B
1E (thinnest)
easily remembered as, every animal does grow by eating.
make sure u tune them in that order or what ever u play it will sound el-wanko.
