Tips
Tip 1: Always hold the GyroTwister Xbeam in the position you want to train with before
you pull the cord. If you try to turn it before getting the right training position, too much
motion will be lost.
Tip 2: You can change the turning direction at any time once the GyroTwister Xbeam is
correctly in motion!
Tip 3: Relax all muscles which you're NOT currently training. Don't tense up the entire
upper body if you're only training your arms.
Tip 4: By increasing speed, you can reduce the radius of motion.
Tip 5: Try to start up the rotor without using the cord by pushing the rotor with your thumb
or flat of your hand. Place your palm on the rotor and roll it using the hand surface from
the palm to your finger tips in ONE quick motion (see pict. 9).
For experts: It's also possible to start the rotor with one hand by "spinning" it with your
thumb. This takes some experience and patience.
Tip 6: If you want to reduce the movement noise, try holding the GyroTwister Xbeam in
your hand so that the opening is covered with the flat of your palm. Make sure that you
completely cover the opening but do not touch the rotor.
Important Note
! The GyroTwister X-beam is maintenance-free. Never oil it, never submerge in water. Oil
will reduce the friction of the internal parts and stop the rotor axle from moving and make
it slip.
! Never touch the moving rotor! If you want to reduce the speed of the rotor, use a soft,
fluff-free cloth.

! The GyroTwister Xbeam is made of high-precision components. Never let it fall on the
floor or on other hard surfaces.
! Make sure that no dust or foreign objects (cigarette ash, etc.) get inside the device. This
may damage the running mechanisms.
! Never place the GyroTwister Xbeam on a hard surface when it's still in motion.
Warning
Training with the GyroTwister Xbeam should be done in moderation. If you suffer from
acute injury, nerve discomfort or other complaints, please consult your physician before
use. Should you experience pain or discomfort during exercises, stop use immediately and
ask your physician.
This device is not suitable for children under 14!
CD
These instructions include a CD which contains:
1. The Gyrometer: tachomenter software for your GyroTwister/Xbeam.
To run it, you'll require a PC with Windows95/98/NT/2000/XP/ME with a soundcard and
microphone. The program analyzes the sounds emitted from the GyroTwister and cal-
culates the number of rotations.
2. An instructional video: get a quick overview in 5 minutes. It helps supplement the writ-
ten instructions which should be read.
3. The GyroTwister Breaktimer: office fitness software.
To start the CD, place it in your CD-ROM drive and follow the instructions. In case your
drive's autostart function is not activated, start the CD by entering "start.exe".
