Horizontal Mounting allows the Kenkel Hardshell Nutcracker to remain portable. A
piece of wood size 2 x 8 x 24 inches (not included) is recommended
for convenience in operation and storage.
Vertical Mounting on a convenient wall stud or upright beam provides a more
permanent installation of the Kenkel Hardshell Nutcracker. The handle should be positioned at a comfortable level to
apply downward pressure.
Operation
| Once your Kenkel Hardshell Nutcracker
is mounted, you can start cracking nuts: |
 |
1. Your Kenkel Hardshell Nutcracker should be positioned
so that the handle is not higher than your elbow.
2. Using the black knob, adjust the bolt to accommodate
the type of nut you wish to crack. The gap between the bolt and the holder when the handle is pushed down should be
about half the size of the average nut.
3. Place the nut vertically between the holder and adjustable
screw. If the handle creates an angle of more than 45 degrees with the mounting board when the nut is in place, then
the gap between the bolt and the holder is too small. Readjust. |
|
4. Press down on the handle, taking care to
keep fingers away from the nut. This causes the shell to break outward from the nutmeat, giving larger pieces. |
