before using the device

• Check the device and its power cord and plug carefully for any damage before each use. The device should not be used if it is in any way defective.

• The device is intended for private use only and should not be employed for commercial purposes.
• Use the massage device only for the purpose specified in the instructions for use.
• The guarantee is invalidated if the device is misused.
• While using the red light function, do not place the massager on the same part of the body for too long (max. 1 minute), as this could cause skin rashes or burns.

• Keep the device away from rain and damp. It should not be operated outdoors.

2.2 What is massage?

Massage is one of the oldest methods of treatment and an important part of physiotherapy. The mechanical treatment of the outer tissues of the body relaxes tense muscles, improves blood circulation and supports the regeneration of tissues. Massage is stimulating, relaxing and helps to eliminate pain of the nerves and muscles. Massage may also positively effect the vascular system, the inner organs and metabolism.

There are five classic methods of massage: stroke massage, kneading, tapping and vibrating massage as well as rubbing and slapping. Furthermore, there are other important massage techniques such as manual lymphatic drainage, reflexology, underwater pressure massage, brush massage and finger pressure massage techniques (shiatsu, acupressure).

2.3 How does the HM 858 massager work?

The MEDISANA HM 858 massager utilizes what is known as vibration massage, whereby the massage head is subjected to high-frequency oscillation, giving rise to a vibrating motion, which is transferred to the parts of the body being massaged. It also features an optional red light warming function, which can be activated either independently or together with the massage.

This special form of heat treatment accelerates the positive effects of the massage. When this is activated, the massage head will warm up slightly, but not actually get hot.

The unique combination of intensive massage and heat treatment allows the HM 858 massager to offer effective and relaxing therapy.

3.1 Getting started

Ensure that the appliance is switched off (function selector swito is in the lowest position) before plugging into the mains. You may use the device directly or you may attach a pair of the massage attachment onto the massage heads with red light 4

Then plug into an appropriate socket.

3.2 Starting the Massager

Use your thumb to gently push the selector switch 2 upwards until it clicks into place and you can feel the massage head vibrate. The switch features 3 positions:

1. Down position: OFF
2. Middle position: Only massage
3. Up position: Heat and massage

3.3 The massage

• You can massage yourself or a partner. Switch the unit on as described above and apply to the part of body to be massaged. Do not use pressure; just place it lightly on the body. The massage effect is brought about by the vibration of the unit alone. Simultaneous use of the red light function improves the effectiveness of the massage. Do not concentrate on one side of the body for too long (max. 3 minutes); rather change the area of massage frequently.
• You can control the massage frequency by turning the massage speed selector ①. Turn it in clockwise direction to speed up the massage and in anti-clockwise direction to slow down the massage speed.
• By choosing the direction of the massage you can decide on the effect: a massage towards the heart relaxes, a massage away from the heart stimulates.
• For a full body massage, please refer to "Safety Information".
  Each session should not exceed a duration of 15 - 20 minutes. The device will switch off automatically after 20 minutes. To ensure positive results, please use the massager regularly.
• The application should feel pleasant. In case you experience pain or or find the massage unpleasant, please stop the session and consult your doctor.
  After treatment, switch the massage device off, pull out the mains

3.4 Switching off the unit

Switch off the unit by returning the function selector switch 2 to its original position. When you have finished using the unit, unplug it from the mains outlet.

3.5 Overheating protection

The device features an overheating protection, which will shut down the device if operated too long. If the device switches off automatically, please disconnect the mains plug and wait for at least 5 minutes, before you use it again.
