SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To avoid risk of injury
1. This product should not be used by pregnant women, persons who are ill, or persons
with back, neck, shoulder or hip pain, or conditions of any kind, without consulting a
physician prior to use. Do not use on any area of the body that has received medical
treatment without consulting a physician prior to use.
2. Never put any part of the body between the massage heads. The squeezing action of
the massage heads may cause injury. Never put any part of the body between the
armrest and the chair back.
Do not place hands in the mechanical portion of the legrest located under the seat.
3. Do not use against bare skin; always wear clothing.
Thin clothing increases the effectiveness, but exposing the skin directly to the massager
can irritate the skin.
4. Do not use for massaging the head, abdomen, elbows or knees.
5. Do not stretch the back muscles for more than approximately 15 minutes at one time.
To avoid overstretching of muscles and resulting discomfort when first using the chair,
do not use for more than 5 minutes. You can gradually increase duration and intensity
as you adjust to the chair.
Do not massage any one point for longer than 5 minutes at a time.
Excessive massaging can overstimulate the muscles and nerves and result in an
adverse effect.
To prevent excessive massaging, do not use the massager for more than a total of 15
minutes per session. After approximately 15 minutes, the massage heads will return to
the “resting” position and stop.
6. While using the massager, if you start feeling sick, or if the massage seems painful, stop
use immediately.
While using the massager, if the pressure seems too strong, the movement of the
massage heads can be stopped by pressing the “quick stop” button.
7. When the chair back is in a reclined position, do not sit on it, or sit with your legs resting
on the headrest.
Do not sit on the legrest. The chair may fall over.
8. Do not allow children or pets to play on or around the chair, especially during operation.
9. Do not remove the back cushion without first reading instructions on page 15.
