Foot care
The basics of foot care
Do not use the product for filing anything other
than calluses and hardened skin on the feet.
Callus
A callus is a hardened layer that forms
through repeated pressure or abrasion.
Hardened layer
Epidermis
Derma
<Avoid using on>
Blister
A blister is a fluid-filled, bean-sized bulge
caused by shoes rubbing against the skin or
horizontal bar exercises etc. It is caused by
sudden stimulus to the skin.
Fluid
Corns
A corn forms when a hardened layer thickens
and extends deep into the derma. Applying
pressure to a corn stimulates the nerves and
can be very painful.
Core
Wart
A wart is a raised area caused by a virus
entering a wound and causing cells to multiply.
Darkly-colored bumps may be visible and the
affected area may be slightly painful.

Things to be careful of when filing
Before use After use
•
Filing an area too deeply can cause it to become sore or
inflamed.
•
Filing too large an area can result in even larger calluses
forming. Therefore, be sure to leave some of the hardened
layer.
Using the foot care head
•
The foot care head cannot be used in a bath or shower.
•
Before use, be sure to fully charge the appliance.
•
We recommend using the product within 30 minutes after
bathing or showering. With the feet clean, wipe any water on
the skin. (Each use should be approximately 10 minutes (5
minutes on each foot, 10 minutes total for both feet))
•
Spread a newspaper or the like to catch filed particles.

foot care head into contact with
the skin, and begin filing.
•
Filing a single location for a long time
can cause it to become hot with friction.
To avoid this, be sure to make small changes in the filing
position while filing.
•
Filing should be performed about once every two weeks.
