INTRODUCTION
The Digital Lean Machine has been speci ically designed to tone and irm your muscles by elec-
tronically stimulating them to contract, while you simply lie back and relax. These Muscle toners
can be used to help in the recovery o muscles injured while playing sport, to relieve muscle ten-
sion and to tighten and irm speci ic muscle areas, e.g. labby or weak stomach muscles, buttocks
area, upper thighs etc.
Muscle toning, or aradic treatments, has been extremely success ul and very popular throughout
beauty salons and sports injury clinics or a number o years. ‘Faradism’ is the common name
given to this treatment due to the type o current used, which causes the muscles to involuntarily
contract. The interruption o the current then relaxes the muscle, and prevents muscle atigue.
The contraction and relaxation o the muscles increases the blood and lymph circulation which
eeds and nourishes the cells and aids the removal o waste products rom the tissues.

TREATMENT
As you become accustomed to your machine, adjust the controls to provide maximum com ort
and e iciency. Turn the output controls on, then gradually advance them until you eel an in-
termittent tingling sensation (these settings will vary with di erent people and di erent muscle
groups). Slowly advance the output control settings a little at a time until you eel a rhythmic
muscle movement. At approximately 5 minute intervals, you can slightly increase the settings,
thus increasing the strength o the impulse to maintain a strong but com ortable contraction.
These settings will vary rom person to person and you do not need to go beyond the setting
that is com ortable or you. You should eel a regular contracting and relaxing o the muscles
being exercised. Do not be alarmed by the sensation o the involuntary contractions. Most peo-
ple ind this movement strange at irst but you will soon become used to it.
A correct contraction occurs when the initial tingling sensation lessens and a good movement
o the muscle is seen and elt. I a proper contraction is not experienced, or a pair o pads are
not working properly (i.e. eeling uncom ortable or the muscles beneath are not contracting)
turn the machine o by setting all o the controls to the OFF/O position. Then, making sure the
skin underneath is ree rom grease, reposition the pads slightly, then gradually turn up the
controls.
When you are com ortable, just relax and shape up with the Digital Lean Machine. Your treat-
ment will range rom 10 minutes – 45 minutes depending on which speci ic programs you will
be using.
I at any time during your treatment, you need to adjust or re-position a pad, always turn the
machine o irst. A ter several weeks o daily use, the muscles treated will have toned up. Con-
tinued regular use o the Digital Lean Machine or once or twice a week will maintain their con-
dition.
At the end o each treatment, switch the unit o and make sure the mains adapter is removed
rom the mains socket.
N.B. Always ensure that the skin is absolutely clean be ore treatment. To re-apply stickiness to
the pads please add a ew drops o water to their sur ace.
Never immerse the unit (or ny of its p rts) in w ter

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Q. Wh t is p ssive exercise nd how does it work?
A. Your muscles are moved by signals sent rom your brain via nerves to your muscles which
then contract and move the body part you wish to exercise. A passive exercise machine
does the work or you by sending a signal straight to your muscles making them contract in-
voluntarily.
Just imagine – while you relax, read, watch the television you can achieve the same visual
e ects as a strenuous work-out. You may even experience some next-day soreness. Passive
exercise is not new. For more that 30 years it has been used in both the medical and beauty
ields to tone muscles.
Q. Will dieting help?
A. As your physical activity decreases, and as your metabolic rate slows down with age, you
may ind yoursel gaining weight and losing your youth ul curves beneath an ever growing
layer o at. With crash dieting, 30% o weight loss can be muscle loss. But when you regain
the los weight, you put back only the at, thereby losing it on tow counts – not only is muscle
a part o looking good, but muscle burns calories even while you sleep. Fat does not. Use a
minimal dieting. Don’t’ eat below a 1000 calories per day and push up your metabolic rate
with aerobic exercise (i.e. exercise that increases your heart rate) at least three times a week
or at least 20 minutes each time. Ideal exercises are brisk walking, jogging, cycling, etc.
Your diet should consist o small amount s o lean protein with complex carbohydrates (i.e.
ruit, vegetables, whole meal bread. Keep saturated ats, sugar and salt to a minimum).
Q. How c n Le n M chine help fter childbirth?
A. Don’t use the Lean Machine while you are pregnant. But a ter the birth o your baby Lean
Machine is a godsend.
You want to get your igure back as quick as you can, but baby care is such exhausting and
time consuming work that most new mothers cannot ind the time, or the energy, to exer-
cise those stressed and stretched muscles back into shape. Don’t despair, when you have
time to sit down, put some pads onto your upper and lower abdominal muscles and with
gentle contractions let the Lean Machine exercise you back into shape. And when you have
regained your igure, continue with regular treatment to maintain your shape.
Q. How often should I use the Le n M chine?
A. Everyday or super quick results then, when you are in shape, 3 or 4 times a week or Main-
tenance.
Q. Is it s fe for ll ges to use?
A. Yes, any age group can use it sa ely, but it is not recommended or small children without
doctors advice and parent control.
Q. I h ve been using my Le n M chine nd did not re lize th t I w s three moths pregn nt?
A. Although we do not recommend pregnant women to use the Lean Machine, consult your
doctor as he will determine i this is possible.

Q. C n I use the Le n M chine over stretch m rks, sc rs, v ricose veins?
A. Only on stretch marks, not on scars or varicose veins.
Q. At wh t time of the d y should I use the Le n M chine?
A. Anytime convenient to yoursel .
Q. C n women use the Le n M chine during their period’s nd ovul tion?
A. Yes, this will not a ect the body in any way.
Q. Do ll sets of p ds h ve to be used t once?
A. No, but i only one set is used then ensure that they are plugged into output socket one.
Q. How do I know if I m getting the right contr ctions nd c n you expl in wh t the sens -
tion feels like so th t I know I h ve got the right p ds on the right muscles?
A. A correct contraction occurs when a tingling sensation lessens and a good movement o the
muscles is seen and elt. This will not take place until the pads are in the correct position.
Turn the controls to OFF/O be ore adjusting the pads. Adjust the pad slightly (small move-
ment may su ice). Then turn your Lean machine on and gradually advance the setting a lit-
tle at a time until you eel a rhythmic movement.
Q. C n I use the Le n M chine on my f ce or neck?
A. No. Elevate, Sleek Cheeks and Mono Cheeks available orm The Beauty Works, are espe-
cially designed or this purpose.
Q. Is it s fe to use the Le n M chine on one group of muscles nd then use it on nother
group of muscles str ight w y?
A. Yes, but a period o 3-4 hours must be allowed be ore exercising the same group o muscles.
Q. Is the Le n M chine s fe to use on people with serious illnesses or v rious nervous
disorders?
A. No, de initely not.
Q. Will I be slimmer?
A. You will look slimmer because your newly toned muscles will hold you in like a corset.

BATTERY
The rechargeable battery included in the unit is a nickel-cadmium type. The battery must not
be disposed o in normal waste containers but should be collected as Small Chemical Waste,
according to the instructions o the local authorities. The battery can be removed by opening
the battery compartment o the 4 pad and detaching the battery terminals rom the battery
snap.
The length o battery use will vary depending on the program used. In particular the battery will
provide limited use on programs 7, 8 and 9 due to the amount o power used rom the battery.
It is advised to use these programs rom the main unit or, i using rom the 4 pad section to re-
charge the batteries a ter 1-2 uses.
MONO CHEEKS FACIAL EXERCISER
Please read the instructions care ully be ore using your Mono cheeks adaptor. Mono Cheeks
works on the same sa e and well established technology used in the Lean Machine. It elec-
tronically reproduces the impulses normally sent by the brain, causing the muscle to contract
at a controllable rate. Mono Cheeks like the Sleek Cheeks (an independent acial exerciser) has
been speci ically developed to treat the ace and neck muscles which can not easily be exer-
cised.
Gently, passive treatment with the Mono Cheeks tones up tired muscles and stimulates the
supply o blood to the skin tissue, thus nourishing the cells and disposing toxic substances. This
combined e ect actually helps to slow down the ageing process.
PREPERATION FOR TREATMENT
In addition to your Mono Cheeks, you will require: a water based moisturising cream, a watch
or clock and a mirror. Remove all traces o cosmetics rom the ace and neck. Pin back your
hair and remove any garments or jewellery obstructing the areas or treatment.
TREATMENT
Study and ollow the exercise diagrams. Gently massage the moisturizing cream onto the area
that you have chosen to exercise irst. Also dab the Sleek Cheeks heads with a little cream.
ENSURE THAT ALL OUTPUT CONTROLS ON THE LEAN MACHINE ARE
SET TO 0
1. Turn the Lean Machine control to the ON position.
2. Click the control on the Mono Cheeks to the ON position.
3. Firmly position the Mono Cheeks unit on the area selected, as illustrated by the diagrams.
4. Slowly increase the output on the Lean Machine until you experience a mild tingling sen-
sation.
5. Gradually increase the control, intensi ying the sensation to maintain a strong but com-
ortable muscle movement or contraction.
The setting will vary with di erent people and various muscle groups. Do not be alarmed by
the sensation o your muscles contracting involuntarily. You will soon become accustomed to
this eeling. A correct contraction occurs when the tingling sensation disappears and a good
muscle movement is experienced. When irst using Mono Cheeks you will probably have to
experiment or a while to ind the correct location.

TREATMENT STRENGTHS
Your acial muscles are very delicate. Do not strain them either by exceeding the stated dura-
tion or requency o the treatments, or by setting the control to exceed a gentle movement.
Exercise each area in turn or three minutes. Remember to moisten each area and exercise
heads be ore each treatment and most importantly remember to reduce both controls to the
lowest position be ore treatment o each new area.
Give your ace a daily treatment to begin with. A ter about one week when your ace muscles
become accustomed to the exercise, this may be increased, provided a minimum o 3-4 hours is
allowed between treatments o the same muscle area. A ter 8 to 12 weeks o daily use you will
see an improvement in your appearance. Continue to use your Mono Cheeks once or twice a
week on a regular basis.
NB. Clean the exercise contacts regularly with a clean dry cloth.
