For Household Use Only

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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 into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do no change the plug in any way.

1. With the switch in the OFF position, plug the power cord into an AC outlet. (Make sure the voltage of power supply is the same as that indicated on massager.)
2. Place the desired massage attachment on the massager. The attachments easily twist on and off.
3. Variable speed allows you to personalize your massage. For best results, begin at the lowest speed setting, and gradually increase to the desired massaging speed by rolling the dial toward the top of the massager. Roll the dial toward the bottom of the massager to decrease the speed.
4. Apply the massager to the targeted area, using continual movement.
   A circular motion is often most effective. (See MASSAGE TECHNIQUES.)
