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.

1. ALWAYS make sure the unit is set to the "OFF" position before inserting the plug into a 120-vol electrical outlet.
2. MASSAGE: To turn the unit on, simply slide the ON/OFF switch, located along the top of the unit's handle up. Slide the switch up one position for the low intensity setting and up two positions for the high intensity setting. To turn the unit off, slide the switch to the "OFF" position.
3. MASSAGE WITH HEAT: Locate the two red attachments. Attach to the massage heads by turning clockwise to secure. Slide the Heat button up for heat. Allow a few minutes for heat to fully activate. To turn the heat off, slide the switch to the "OFF" position.
   NOTE: Do not use the heat continuously for more than 15 minutes. Do not use the heat if you have sensitive skin, poor circulation, discolored areas, swelling, burned, inflamed or where skin eruptions or sores are present. Heat should be pleasant and comfortable. Should pain or discomfort result, discontinue use and consult your physician.
4. Apply massager head lightly to the area you wish to massage.
5. Move the unit slowly, holding on the targeted area. Massage the area for a short period of time and move to another area. NEVER massage the same spot longer than 3 minutes.

NEVER use this appliance on or near eyes or other highly sensitive areas.

6. Operation of longer than 15 minutes is not recommended and may cause overheating.
7. When massage is completed, turn unit off, allow to cool, unplug the power supply and store properly in a dry place.

TO CHANGE ATTACHMENTS

Your massager comes equipped with two massage head attachments. Each set is a different firmness to allow you to customize your massage:
Black - Soft attachment without heat
Red - Hard attachment with heat

To change to a different set, simply twist off (counterclockwise) the set that is attached to the unit and twist on (clockwise) the desired set. (See Figure 1)
