18. The success of TENS is neither guaranteed or implied. Important: All machines and cables are tested prior to dispatch, however faults/machine failures can sometimes occur due to postage/shipping damage, also if dropped or knocked the machine this can cause the tens to malfunction, or if you overstress the cables. YOU MUST fully test the tens on arrival by placing the free test electrodes on your arm, this will also give us the time to replace your tens if there is any problem. Please test both sets of cables and be happy with the hire or purchase machine.
A machine that has developed a fault after dispatch, can sometimes cause a small electrical shock, which is why we insist you carefully test the tens machine on your arm, and gently increase the intensity of the power when testing or using the machine for the 1st time and if not happy or you believe your tens has a fault, please contact us at once. DO NOT continue to use the tens if it has any faults or it issues strong electrical shocks that are not part of the normal workings of the machine. Do not use the tens anywhere near fluid/water.
