HoMedics Shiatsu SBM-500H - Manual (Page 3)

• This unit should not be used by children or invalids without adult
supervision.
• This product is not for use in automobiles.
Instructions for Use
The Shiatsu 1 Massaging Cushion comes with two screws located
on the back of the unit to protect the massage mechanism during
shipment, which must be removed before the first use to allow the unit
to function properly. Use the provided allen wrench. Then, properly
dispose of the screws. Warning - Failure to remove both screws
may cause permanent damage to the massage cushion.
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.
Untie cord strap, extend cord and insert plug into 120-volt household
electrical outlet to power unit.
Attach the cushion to most chairs for a luxurious massage as you read,
rest or even work. See pages 6–7 for instructions on the use of the
hand control.
Strapping System
The Shiatsu 1 Massaging Cushion incorporates a unique strapping
system which allows you to fasten it to almost any chair. Just slip the
straps over the seat or chair and adjust fastening straps to secure.
Your massager won’t slip or slide away.
