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. This unit is powered by and comes equipped with a UL approved cord. ALWAYS make sure the unit is set to the “OFF” position before inserting the plug into a 120-volt electrical outlet.
Please Note: The heat option will only work while a massage feature is selected.
2. Massage: To activate, slide the bottom switch to “M” for Massage or to “M+SH” for Massage with Soothing Heat. To activate Thermal Heat, slide the top switch to “M+TH”. Note: the heat functions can only be activated when the massage function is in use.
3. Adjustable Handle: This unit has an adjustable handle with a swivel head to allow the massager to hit hard-to-reach areas. To adjust, simply turn the handle clockwise until the desired position is reached. To return the handle to its original position, turn the handle counter clockwise.
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. CAUTION – as stated in the“IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS” section of this manual, NEVER use this appliance on or near eyes or other highly sensitive areas.

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.
