IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
WARNING
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons:
Do not suddenly release your hand while raising the foot rest manually. To ensure safety, release
your hand gently from the foot rest.
Do not raise or lower the foot rest while your feet are enclosed in it for an air massage.
If this is not observed, injury may occur.
Never attempt to dismantle the massager. Do not allow any person other than a qualified repair
technician to dismantle or repair the massager.
If this is not observed, fire, electric shocks or injury may occur. Ask the place of purchase of your nearest
Customer Service Center (separate sheet) if repairs are required.
If discomfort or pain is felt during use, stop using the massager and consult a doctor immediately. In
addition, if the massage force feels too strong, stop using the massager earlier than planned.
Otherwise, if you continue using the massager under such conditions, an unexpected accident may occur.
If the massager has not been used for a long time, check that it operates correctly and safely before
using it. In addition, check that there are no problems with the cords and other parts.
If this is not done, accidents or injury may occur.
After use, be sure to set the POWER switch to the "OFF" position.
If this is not done, accidents or injury due to a child's mischief may occur.
Do not use the massager for any other purpose than as a massager or chair.
If this is not done, accidents or injury may occur.
Do not use the massager together with other medical instruments.
If this is not observed, the user may feel sick or it may cause other health problems.
If a power failure occurs, set the POWER switch to the "OFF" position immediately and disconnect
the power plug from the wall outlet.
If this is not done, an accident or injury may occur when the power is restored.
Insert the power plug securely into the wall outlet.
If this is not observed, electric shock, short-circuits or fire may result.
Clean the massager after use so that it will be ready for the next use, and store it in a place which is
low in humidity.
If dust or moisture collect in the massager, fire, electric shock or problems with operation may occur.
Do not attempt to disconnect the power plug by pulling the cord, but always by holding the power
plug and pulling it out. Also, clean the dust off the power plug periodically.
If this is not observed, electric shock, short-circuits or fire may result.
If the massager stops working or any other problem occurs with it, stop using it immediately to
prevent accidents, disconnect the power plug and ask the place of purchase to carry out inspection
and repair work.
If this is not done, fire due to electric shock, current leaks or short-circuits may occur.
Do not use the massager on top of a heated carpet or other heater, or near a stove or other heat sources.
If this is not observed, fire may occur.
Do not use the massager in bathrooms or in places with high humidity.
If this is not observed, electric shock may occur.
Always be sure to disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet when not using the massager.
If this is not done, the insulation may deteriorate and electric shock, current leaks or fire may occur.
Before using the massager, check all switches and other parts while referring to this instruction
manual to make sure they all operate correctly.
For safety, check the position of the massaging rollers before leaning slowly back on the massager.
Do not twist the body, but lean straight back on the massager, so that the massaging rollers are
in position on either side of the spine.
Leaning back abruptly on the massager may injure the spine or result in some other injury.
Do not use the massager for more than 20 minutes at a time. In addition, limit the use of the
massager on one point to 5 minutes or less.
Using the massager continuously for long periods of time will apply more stimulation than is necessary and
may result in adverse effects or injury.
