USAGE
Initial Use/Charging the Battery
The massage must feel pleasant at all times. Start the treatment at the lowest intensity level and then increase it according to your preferences if necessary. A slight haematoma (bruise) may occur during use, but bruising should not be considered a necessary or positive therapeutic effect. In some cases, skin redness may also occur. If you experience excessive skin irritation, stop using the device and consult a doctor. Depending on the level of tension, a treatment time of approximately 10 minutes is recommended for the desired area (neck, shoulders, back, arms, buttocks, or legs). Before using the Deep Tissue Massager for the first time, you need to charge it for a minimum of 2 hours. To do so, proceed as follows:
- Remove all packaging material from the device.
- Connect the supplied USB-C cable to the Deep Tissue Massager. The connector for the USB-C cable is located on the side of the device, below the ON/OFF button.
- Connect the USB-C cable to a mains plug (not included in delivery). Insert the mains plug into a suitable socket.

As soon as all the LEDs of the battery level indicator light up permanently blue, remove the mains plug (not included in delivery) from the socket. The battery is now fully charged. The battery will last for approximately 2 hours of operation when fully charged. As soon as the battery level indicator starts to flash blue, you must recharge the Deep Tissue Massager; otherwise, it will automatically switch off soon.
Selecting/Changing the Attachment
Select the appropriate attachment before starting the massage. To change an attachment, proceed as follows:
- Pull the existing attachment horizontally off the Deep Tissue Massager.
- Slide your desired attachment firmly into the Deep Tissue Massager until you feel it click securely into place.

Switching On the Device/Selecting the Intensity Level
The Deep Tissue Massager comes with an automatic switch-off function. This means that the Deep Tissue Massager automatically switches off after approximately 10 minutes of use.
- Press and hold the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds. The 5 LEDs of the intensity indicator light up for approximately 2 seconds. In addition, the side LED strips fill from bottom to top and then empty again, except for the first LED, which lights up white. The device is now in standby mode.
- Briefly press the ON/OFF button to switch on the device. The left LED of the intensity indicator starts to light up. The massage starts at intensity level 1.
- To switch between the intensity levels, briefly press the ON/OFF button. The intensity indicator shows the current intensity level.
- Intensity Level 1: 1800 rpm / 30 Hz
- Intensity Level 2: 2100 rpm / 35 Hz
- Intensity Level 3: 2400 rpm / 40 Hz
- Intensity Level 4: 2700 rpm / 45 Hz
- Intensity Level 5: 3000 rpm / 50 Hz
- Standby Mode: Device stops massaging.
- You can switch off the device at any time during use by pressing and holding the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds. If you press the ON/OFF button again at the fifth intensity level, the device switches to standby mode.
Pressure Indicator
The side LED bar (pressure indicator) lights up in a corresponding colour depending on how firmly you press the selected massage attachment against the skin.

Troubleshooting

Pros & Cons — Honest assessment of the beurer Deep Tissue Massager MG 101 Massage Gun SensorBoost
- Pros — Smart pressure sensor for safer intensity: The SensorBoost pressure sensor helps users identify optimal intensity per body area, reducing the chance of excessive force during deep tissue work.
- Pros — Multiple attachments & five intensity levels: Five high‑quality massage heads plus five speed settings allow precise tailoring for large muscles, trigger points, and sensitive zones—useful for runners, weightlifters, and physiotherapy follow‑ups.
- Pros — Quiet, brushless motor and portability: Brushless motor design offers quieter operation (≈38 dB on level 1) and long life; compact, lightweight build (≈485 g) and USB‑C charging make it travel‑friendly.
- Pros — Battery runtime: Up to ~2 hours of battery life supports multiple sessions between charges—convenient for daily users and trainers.
- Cons — Power ceiling for advanced users: Top speed (about 3,000 rpm) and amplitude are effective for many but may be less aggressive than some high‑end professional guns targeted at heavy athletes—users wanting very high amplitude deep percussion may prefer premium alternatives.
