Instructions for Use

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.

• This unit is powered by and comes with a UL-approved cord. Untie cord strap, extend
cord and insert plug into 120-volt household electrical outlet to
power unit.

• Begin by adjusting the massager handles. Press the grey buttons near the massager
head to release the arms from the locked position. Pull the arms up into the extended
position and release the buttons. The massager handles have 3 positions (See Figure

1). You can adjust the handles to fit the area of the body you wish to massage.

• To turn unit on, slide the grey power switch to “M” for massage or to “M+H” for
massage with heat.

• Adjust the massage intensity with the grey slide switch to customize the massage. You
can also adjust the massage intensity by the amount of pressure you apply - the more
pressure you apply the more intense the massage.

• Treat the target area for a short period of time, and then move to another area. NEVER

treat the same area longer than 3 minutes. CAUTION: As stated in the “IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS” section of this manual, NEVER use this appliance on or near the eyes,
temples or other highly sensitive areas.

• Do not use this product for more than 15 minutes at a time.

• When treatment is completed, turn the unit off and unplug the power supply. Store the

unit properly in a cool, dry place.

Back, Neck & Shoulder Massage

• Choose the handle position of the massager that is most comfortable for the area you
wish to massage (See Figures 2, 3, and 4).

• Position the massager behind back while holding both handles. You can concentrate
on one general area or move the massager up and down. The massager is also light
weight enough to use with one hand.

• NEVER leave the appliance unattended, especially if children are
present.

• NEVER cover the appliance when it is in operation.

• DO NOT use this product for more than 15 minutes at a time.
Extensive use could lead to the product’s excessive heating
and shorter life. Should this occur, discontinue use and allow the
unit to cool before operating.

• NEVER use this product directly on swollen or inflamed areas
or skin eruptions.

• This product is a non-professional appliance designed to
provide soothing massage to worn muscles. DO NOT use this
product as a substitute for medical attention.

• DO NOT use this product before bed. The massage has a
stimulating effect and can delay sleep.

• NEVER use this product while in bed.

• This product should NEVER be used by any individual suffering
from any physical ailment that would limit the user’s capacity to
operate the controls.

• This unit should not be used by children or invalids without adult
supervision.

• Use of this product should be pleasant and comfortable. Should
pain or discomfort result, discontinue use and consult your
physician.
