How do you put on a jar, directions are not good, It doesn't fit on a can where do I adjust?

It has to be a jar with a lid--not a can. You hold the opener above the jar, parallel to the lid and press the black button. The opener will self adjust to the lid and once it is tight enough, it will twist the lid open. When you hear air escape from the jar, you will know the lid has been loosened. Release the black button and the arms of the opener will release the jar automatically.

You just place the jar opener on top of a jar with a lid. It works best with glass jars as plastic ones compress. Then you just pushing the black button on the top, and soon you will hear air escape from the jar as the lid begins to turn. Then you can release the black button and the arms of the opener will begin to release the jar and you will be able to remove the jar opener and take the jar lid off the jar.

I press the start button and hold it down until the grippers open completely. Then I try again.

I found that for the very brief time that the jar opener worked at all, it fit only a few types of jars. On those that it fit, it worked well. After a very short time, it stopped working, and the batteries became too hot to touch. All attempts to communicate with the manufacturer failed.

With the jar sitting on the counter, sit the jar opener on top of the jar and push the start button. Be patient. It takes some time for the "claws" to close around the jar lid and the grips to clasp the jar and then turn in opposite directions.

The jaws that tighten against the jar can be turned around until they have spread apart far enough to fit the top of the jar.Then just push the top button on the jar opener and it should do the rest.

Place the opener on top of the jar lid. You may have to push the button to get the jaws to open wide enough. Push the button and the jaws will close on the lid and begin to turn. When the jar is opened it will spread the jars and shut itself off.

Jo Ann gave you great instructions for jar opening; however, you ask about fitting on a can....It doesn't work on cans only jars.

I threw mine away, but you can figure the width of two spice jars plus add 1/2 to 1 inch for the center. I honestly can't recommend this, though. It started falling apart shortly after I set it up.

No directions is correct. At least this is what I experienced as well. What I did was narrowed the wire eye at the bottom, pushed through the wax center enough to fold, holding wax against the wire crossing. Hope this helps you.

Agreed with Stephen. Build the blender from the bottom up: first set out the round base. Next, drop in the blade. Then set the gasket ring on top of that. Then screw in the blender jar. Make sure you look down into the jar to be sure that no part of the gasket is sticking up into the jar.

If the seal is too tight I use a bottle cap opener. I will also turn the jar upside down and give the bottom a firm hit a few times. Hope this helps :)

I'm not sure to be entirely honest. My advice would be to investigate the inner diameter of the neck and lid of your respective jar as I'm not sure what dimensions the one gallon glass jug you are using have. I will say that the stoppers are not adjustable by any means so look closely at your specifications. Sorry I'm not able to help you further.

I'm sorry no I actually can't help you with this. I use the colored sticks and just match them to the jar.

It goes in the bottom of the orange part that screws on top of the jar. I'll see if I can take a pic and post to the product page

My jar of triple paste does not fit. But I have a really large jar, not sure if they sell a smaller one.

It will not work on a 26 oz. jar of Smucker's Natural - not even close. The rotten part is, I wanted to return it for one the correct size, which according to Witmer's website is Model 400, but Amazon does not carry that model, and if you simply try to return this one to Amazon, they'll only give you ~ $6.00 of the 12.46 you paid, which is so unlike Amazon I don't know what to think. Mind-boggling, but Witmer charges a whopping $26.00 on their website for the Model 400. Word to the wise, make sure you purchase the right size for the jars that you are accustomed to buying, because there's no 'do over' button here.

Go to the website, have a measuring tape available and follow directions. It works well.

I would say you are screwed. Chalk it up to a bad experience. We bought one, too. I was pumped about it, but so far, we have not found a jar that this thing will fit. Pickle jars seem to always be a challenge and the One Touch will not open wide enough to grip the jar itself. It looked like a good idea but has not proved out for beans. One Touch needs to go back to the drawing board. If you were nearby, I'd happily give you mine.

I was in the same situation and I ordered it. It fit the blender fine, but my old lid doesn't fit 100%, it works fine but I would recommend maybe buying the lid that goes with this particular jar if you can find it.

It can be a little confusing to figure out which way the various parts of the top assembly are supposed to be oriented. The best way I found is to just rest the bottle cap on top, as if you were sealing the bottle. Then look at the metal part of the assembly. The two prongs fit into little depressions on the neck of the bottle. You can just slide them along the glass until they snap into place. You can remove them again if you have to. If the cap assembly is oriented the right way, you'll then be able to push down on the curved part to force the lid further down into the mouth of the bottle and seal it. You may have to flip the whole curved metal part up on it's little hinge and over the top of the bottle so that it's oriented the right way. It took me a couple of tries the first time, and then I used the bottle I'd done correctly as a guide to the other ones.

Are you able to fit the opener over the jar's lid? Here are general instructions: This device has 3 parts. 2 things you grab as the user: the handle (the big thing sticking out) and the screw top dial thing (the wedge thing on the disk), and 1 thing on the opener that grabs onto the jar: the teeth. The wedge on the disk controls how the opener grabs the jar's lid, and the handle controls how you open the jar after the opener grabs said lid. Put the opener on top of the jar with the teeth down on the lid. Pinch the screw dial wedge top of the opener and turn it to the left. The teeth will open wider as you turn left. Turn the top left until the teeth fit around the cap of the jar. Then turn right until they dig into the jar's lid. Then use the handle to turn the opener which is now screwed into the jar's lid to rotate the lid off the jar by putting one hand on the jar to hold it still, putting your other hand on the opener handle, and then turning the opener handle lefty loosey.

If its larger than the jar, just hold it down-works fine. If its smaller than the jar it probably won't work.

Measure diameter on bottom of jar outside. If is nearly 2 and1/2 inch will fit that.
