(1)Between the backrest and seat or armrest

(2)Between the leg rest and seat or armrest

(3)Between the seat and armrest

(4)Between the back cover and leg cover

(5)Back of the leg rest

4.Do not use the unit against bare skin. While thin clothing may increase effectiveness, exposing the skin directly to the massager may irritate the skin.

Do not use the unit while wearing anything hard on your head like a hair accessory, etc. Do not use the unit for massaging the head, abdomen, front neck, elbows or knees.

Do not use excessively strong massage action on the back of the neck.

5.When using the body scanning function, always ensure that the shoulder position is correct. If the shoulder position is not correct, use the POSITION button to adjust it properly. Or stop the massage function and re-try the body scanning function. You can adjust the shoulder position in this way in the automatic course and manual operation. Failure to align the shoulder position correctly can lead to injury.

6.Do not stretch the back muscles for more than approximately 16 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.

To prevent excessive massaging, do not use the massager for more than a total of 16 minutes each session. After approximately 16 minutes, the massage heads will be retracted and stop moving.

The comfort 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 16 minutes). Reinstall the comfort 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 leg rest 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.Be sure to start on the gentle massage program if using the massager for the first time. 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. Leg rest 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.

14.Remove hard objects, such as false fingernails, wristwatches or rings, when massaging hands or arms. Empty pockets of hard objects when massaging the area of the seat or thighs.

16.Always return the leg rest to its original position before moving the unit.

Failure to observe this precaution may result in injury due to the leg rest returning to its original position when the unit is being moved.

17.Store the attachment screws out of reach of children. Accidental ingestion may occur.

18.Do not stand, jump on, or place objects on the seat until the air is completely extracted for the air massage.

19.Do not hold the sole massage section when moving the unit.

Doing so may result in the section sliding as you move the unit, causing injuries.
