SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To avoid the risk of injury:
1. Pregnant women, people who are ill, in poor physical shape or undergoing medical treatment, and people
suffering from back, neck, shoulder or hip pain should consult their doctor before using the unit. If you have a
pacemaker, defibrillator, or other personal medical device, consult with the manufacturer of your device before
using the unit. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
2. Sit down slowly after checking the position of the massage heads. Never put any part of your body between the
massage heads as the squeezing action of the massage heads may cause injury. Never put your fingers or feet
in the gap between the backrest and seat, the backrest and the armrest, the seat and cover under the armrest,
or the gap between the legrest and the footrest. Do not place your fingers or any part of your body in the
mechanism below the legrest, or between the legrest and footrest.
3. Do not allow the massage heads to be used on the head, abdomen or bare skin. Do not allow knees to come in
contact with or become caught in the legrest. Protect the neck area by covering it with a towel, etc.
When raising the backrest, do not allow hands or feet to become caught between the backrest and the backrest
stopper or the backrest and the armrests.
4. Do not allow the unit to be used on bare skin. Do not use excessively strong massage action on the back of the
neck.
5. When using the massager, use the Neck Roller Position button to adjust the massage heads to the correct
shoulder position. You can adjust the shoulder position in this way in the pre-programs and Rolling in the
manual operation.
Failure to align the shoulder position correctly can lead to injury.
6. Do not stretch the back muscles for more than approximately 15 minutes at a time. To avoid overstretching the
muscles which may result in discomfort, do not use the unit for more than 5 minutes when first using it. You can
gradually increase the duration and strength of the massage as you become used to it.
Do not massage any one point for more 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 each session.
After approximately 15 minutes, the massage heads will be retracted and stop moving.
The back cushion can be removed if you want to experience a stronger back massage. Exercise extreme care
when you use this mode in order to avoid back pain or injury. Use only for short periods of time (no more than
15 minutes). Reinstall the back cushion if you want to restore to normal massage intensity.
7. While using the massager, if you start feeling sick or if the massage seems painful, stop using it immediately.
While using the massager, if the pressure seems too strong, the movement of the massage heads can be
stopped at any time by pressing the Quick Stop button.
8. Do not go to sleep while using the unit. Do not use the unit after drinking alcohol.
9. When the seat 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 as the unit may fall over.
10. Do not allow children or pets to play on or around the unit, especially during operation.
11. Do not unplug the unit or turn it off during operation. Unplug the unit immediately if there is a power outage.
12. If using the massager for the first time, it is recommended to start on the swedish massage program. The
shiatsu massage is stronger and should be enjoyed after one has gotten accustomed to the chair.
13. Do not allow children to play on this mechanized furniture or operate the mechanism. Legrest folds down on
closing so that a child could possibly be injured. Always leave in an upright and closed position. Keep hands
and feet clear of mechanism. Only the occupant should operate it.
