Instructions

• 1

  Straighten the plug with a pair of pliers. The metal is not tough to manipulate; just work slowly, otherwise you may break off the plug. Once the prongs are straight, connect it to your power outlet.

• 2

  Apply metal cleaner to the prong if it has corrosion build-up. The corrosion prevents you from plugging it into any outlets and receiving an electrical flow. You can use metal cleaner for copper or metal dishes.

• 3

  Wipe the area clean after a few minutes. Remove the corrosion with a damp cloth to reveal the metal prongs. Avoid using the equipment until it is completely dry.

  Connect the metal plug to a local outlet and power it on for a massage.
