Instructions for Use

To reduce the risk of electrocution, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, 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 attempt to defeat this safety feature.

1.  Plug into a 120-volt outlet.
2. To start the massage, slide the selector switch up or down for an inward or outward kneading motion. The center position is “off”.
3. Neck Massage: Lie on the floor and position the mechanical kneading thumbs under your neck (See Figure A). For increased comfort, place the head rest under your head to help support your head and neck during massage (See Figure B).
4.  Armor Foot Massage: Place the massager on the floor or other hard surface and rest your arm or foot between the mechanical kneading thumbs (See Figures C & D).
5.  Large, rubberized handles provide a comfortable grip for use alone or with a partner (See Figure E).

Maintenance

To Store
Place massager in its box or a safe, dry, cool place. Avoid contact with sharp edges or pointed objects which might cut or puncture the fabric surface. To avoid breakage, do not wrap the power cord around the unit. Do not hang the unit by the cord.
