SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED PRODUCTS

In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding
means is provided on a double-insulated product, nor should a means for grounding be added to the
product. Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and
should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated product
must be identical to the parts they replace. A double-insulated product is marked with the words
“DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED”. The symbol may also be marked on the product.

POLARIZED PLUG

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.

Caution: All servicing of this massager must be performed by authorized HoMedics service
personnel only.
