• Remove all packaging and transport locks.
• Check the device, power supply and cables for damage.
• Fit the protective cover to the appliance if it is not already in place.
• Connect the power supply plug to the massage device. The switch must be set to "0". Move it to “0” if it
is not already in this position.
WARNING
• Do not use the device if damage is evident to the device itself or any of its accessories.
• The massage device must only be operated with the supplied power supply unit, which must be
connected to a power supply with the mains voltage indicated on the power supply unit.
• Route the cable safely so that there is no risk of anyone tripping over it.
• Connect your device to the mains by plugging the power supply unit into the mains outlet.
6. Operation
Use the switch on the side to switch on the massage device. The switch positions „I“ and „II“ also determine
the massaging direction:
• Switch position I: the massage heads rotate against each other in an upward motion.
• Switch position II: the massage heads rotate against each other in a downward motion.
Move the switch to the middle position (level 0) to switch the device off.
Note
• Always wear light clothing when receiving a massage from the device.
• To receive a more gentle massage, insert a folded towel between the massage device and your
body.
• Do not use the massage device for longer than 15 minutes. Otherwise, using the device for longer
can over-stimulate the muscles and cause tension instead of relaxation.
• Do not use the massage device just before going to bed. The massage can also have a stimulating effect and may cause difficulties in getting off to sleep.
WARNING
The massage must be pleasant and relaxing at all times. Stop the massage or change the position of
the massage device if you find it is painful or unpleasant.
• In order to prevent yourself from being trapped between the heads, do NOT lean on the massage
heads when changing your position or moving the massage device.
• Do not force any part of your body, in particular your fingers, between the rotating massage heads
and their mountings in the device.

9. About Shiatsu massage
Shiatsu is a form of body massage which was originally developed in Japan around 100 years ago. It is
based on ideas anchored in traditional Chinese medicine, in particular the meridian system, i.e. the paths in
the human body along which energy is conveyed.
The aim of any Shiatsu massage is to promote the physical, emotional and mental wellbeing of the person
being treated. To do this, energy blocks and bottlenecks in the meridians need to be dissolved and the selfregulating ability of the body needs to be stimulated.
Shiatsu therapists achieve this by exercising pressure in flowing movements along the meridians. Although
Shiatsu can be literally translated as “finger pressure”, practitioners also use the heels of their hands, their
elbows and knees as well as their fingers. In the process, the therapist will use his or her full body weight in
order to generate the required pressure. Your Shiatsu massage device has rotating massage heads which
imitate the pressure and kneading motions of a Shiatsu massage.
