How to Re-assemble:
1. Identify Parts A & B and familiarize yourself with the reference terms. Position the parts in front of you the exact same way.
2. Hold Part A by the base in your left hand so that the bar is pointing to the right and the groove in the “ball & groove” is facing you.
3. Hold Part B by the base in your right hand so that the bar is pointing to the left and the groove in the “ball & groove” is facing you.
4. Hold both pieces horizontally and touch them together as you would touch your index fingers together.
5. Turn your right hand 90° (a quarter turn) away from you so that the groove in the “ball & groove” is facing the ceiling.
6. Move Part B (piece in right hand) to the left so that the bar of Part A is resting in the groove of the “ball & groove” of Part B.
7. Extend the index finger of your left hand and brace under the “ball & groove” of Part B. Then apply pressure with the thumb of your left hand on the bar of Part A until the bar snaps into the groove of the “ball & groove” of Part B.
8. Rotate your right hand 90o (a quarter turn) towards you so that the bar of Part B is resting in the groove of the “ball & groove” of Part A.
9. Extend the index finger of your left hand and brace behind the “ball & groove” of Part A. Then apply pressure with the thumb of your left hand on the bar of Part B until the bar snaps into the groove of the “ball & groove” of Part A. Your Facial-Flex® should now be reassembled.
Your Facial-Flex system includes a supply of 6 oz. and 8 oz. replacement Flex-Bands. These elastic bands and a reorder booklet are located in the molded lid of your carrying case. First time users should find the 6 oz. resistance Flex-Bands adequate. As you become comfortable with the exercise and use of the device, you will need a higher resistance to continue your progress. Changing to a higher resistance Flex-Band challenges your muscles, increasing their strength and tone at a faster rate. Flex-Bands are available in an even higher strength of 14 ozs. of resistance. Flex-Bands can be purchased from your distributor or directly from Facial Concepts, Inc. Remove the existing band by pulling it off the mounts located on top of the center abutments. Install the new Flex-Band by stretching the band over the mounts located on top of the center abutments. Make sure that the band is positioned properly on both mounts, and that no binding occurs when you compress Facial-Flex between your fingers.
Replacing Flex-Bands:
For optimum results, the Flex-Band™ on your Facial-Flex® should be changed weekly!
This is important to achieve best results. The bands fatigue and the resistance decreases with use. Do not use more than one Flex-Band at a time
