After you get the rig tuned up into the dummy load, use the TUNE position  to 
reduce the drive and strain on the finals. I think on the HW-101 you can back 
 off the mic/carrier control as well to reduce drive. Use this reduced  drive 
to feed a SWR bridge on the input to the tuner. Tune the tuner for min SWR  
and you should be good to go. After getting the tuner set, go back and do a  
'touch up' at full power on the rig - it should be very close.
