Installing the can opener base:
1. Choose a convenient location with a firm work surface (C) and install the
base (A) securing with the hardware (B) provided. See Figure 1.
On thin gauge work surface we suggest you fit a spacer plate
underneath. This will prevent the flexing of the work surface and possible
spillage of can contents during opening.
