The operation images shown in FIGS. 9A to 9D include a position notification image G1 and a front-rear adjustment notification image G21 displayed on the right side of the position notification image G1. The position notification image G1 includes an image of a person's back and a circle mark C11 attached on the image of the back. A circle mark C11 represents each position on the back, and a black circle mark C11 represents the current operation reference position of the treatment element 22. Here, the circle marks C11 are arranged symmetrically about the center line CL1 indicating the spine of the position notification image G1. Each circle mark C11 corresponds to each position in the movement space shown in FIG. For example, a circle mark C11 arranged in the first row and the first column of the right half of the person's back represents X1 and Y1 shown in FIG. In FIG. 9A, the number of circle marks C11 is smaller than the number of wrinkles shown in FIG. 8, but actually there are as many as the number of wrinkles shown in FIG. Further, a plurality of continuous ridges shown in FIG. 8 may be associated with one circle mark C11.

  In FIG. 9A, since the pair of left and right circle marks C11 arranged in the third row of the left and right adjacent columns of the center line CL1 is black, the operation reference position of the treatment element 22 is the movement space shown in FIG. It can be seen that x = X1 and y = Y3. In FIG. 9A, the treatment element 22 belongs to the region A because the operation reference position is located at x = X1, y = Y3 in the movement space shown in FIG. 8, and the treatment element 22 in the region A The length of the moving space in the front-rear direction is 5, and the amount of movement of the “scissors” in the front-rear direction is 0 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the adjustable range in the front-rear direction of the operation reference position of the treatment element 22 is z = Z1 to Z5. And since the front-back direction component of the present operation | movement reference position of the treatment element 22 is z = Z3, the treatment element 22 can be moved 2 in the front direction and 2 in the rear direction. Therefore, the controller CPU 36 displays the five consecutive blocks BL1 to BL5 on the display unit 37 as the front and rear adjustment notification image G21, displays the blocks BL3 to BL5 in black, and displays the blocks BL1 to BL2 in white. Thereby, the user can grasp that the movement reference position can be moved 2 in the forward direction and 2 in the backward direction. In the front-rear adjustment notification image G21 shown in FIGS. 9A to 9D, the pressure on the user increases as the treatment element 22 approaches the user. ”,“ Weak ”is displayed to the right of the bottom block.

  In FIG. 9B, the treatment element 22 belongs to the region A because the operation reference position is located at x = X1, y = Y3 of the movement space shown in FIG. 8, and the treatment element 22 in the region A in the front-rear direction The length of the movement space is 5 and the amount of movement in the front-rear direction of the scissors is 0 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the adjustable range in the front-rear direction of the operation reference position of the treatment element 22 is z = Z1 to Z5. And since the present operation | movement reference position of the treatment element 22 is z = Z5 in the front-back direction component, the treatment element 22 can move 0 to the front direction and 4 back. Therefore, the controller CPU 36 displays the five consecutive blocks BL1 to BL5 on the display unit 37 as the front and rear adjustment notification image G21, and displays the blocks BL1 to BL5 in black. Thereby, the user can grasp that the operation reference position can be moved 0 in the forward direction and 4 in the backward direction.

  In FIG. 9C, the treatment element 22 belongs to the region C because the operation reference position is located at x = X10, y = Y3 in the movement space shown in FIG.
