Instructions for Use

• 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.

1. Always make sure the unit is set to the “OFF” position before inserting the plug into a 120 volt 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 one notch. To adjust the intensity of the massage, slide the selector switch down for lower intensity, up for higher intensity. (See page 7)

3. Massage with Heat: Locate the two red (heat) attachments. Attach to the massage head by turning clockwise to secure. Slide the ON/OFF button two notches up for massage with heat. Allow a few minutes for heat to fully activate.
   NOTE : To eliminate the risk of being burned, never use the heat function without the attachments. 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 treat.

5. Move the unit slowly, holding on the targeted area. Treat the area for a short period of time and move to another area. Never treat the same spot longer than 3 minutes. CAUTION – as stated in the “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” section of this manual, 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 treatment is completed, turn unit off, unplug the power supply, allow to cool, and store properly in a dry place.

Caution: All servicing of this unit must be performed by authorized HoMedics service personnel only.
