Operating Instructions

- Insert Skewer: Carefully push a bamboo skewer through the center of the vegetable, ensuring it penetrates completely.
- Position Skewer: Insert the tail end of the bamboo skewer into the designated hole above the blade on the device.
- Secure Vegetable: Place the vegetable onto the central axis of the push shaft, ensuring it is firmly seated.
- Engage Lock: Push the fixed dial lock to secure the potato in place.
- Begin Slicing: While holding the device steady, turn the hand crank clockwise. The blade will spiral-cut the vegetable as it rotates.

- Device is unstable during use: Verify that the device is placed on a flat, stable, and non-slip surface. The non-slip rubber feet should provide adequate stability.
