Check before Operation
-Attach the enclosed crank handle in the following manner.
1) There is an opening on the right side of the head cover. Attach the
crank handle to the body through the hole to connect the worm shaft
inside.
2) In attaching the crank handle on paragraph 1, connect them aligning
the cut of the worm shaft with the cut of the crank handle.
3) Put the crank handle to the body using Philips bolt and fasten it by
screwdriver firmly. Check the handle if it raises the main shaft upwards
and downwards smoothly.
-Attach the enclosed shaft cover in the following manner.
Insert the shaft cover to the hole in the top of the head cover to hide the
main shaft.
-Connect the drain hose to the drip tray. And place a bucket as a receptacle of drip water through
the drain hose.
-Connect the unit to the socket of the appropriate electricity specified on the machine plate.
Refrain from using a generator. It is out of warranty.
-Clean the food zone such as the ice shaving area especially for the first operation after the
purchase. There could be dust in the chamber.
Remarks:
1) Very cold smoky color ice is not appropriate for shaving because it is too cold and hard. Use
transparent ice at an appropriate temperature when it looks transparent. Smoky color ice
will not produce soft and fluffy shaved ice. It could damage the blade tip and the blade will
not shave ice soft. Use transparent ice to extend the life of blade.
2) Do not put things on the unit. It may falls down as the unit vibrates during the operation.
It would be dangerous.

6
Operation
Plug in the shaver.
Make sure that power switch is turned to off position
before plugging in the unit.
Slide the sliding cover to the right to open.
Turn the crank handle clockwise to raise the ice holder.
Make sure that the ice holder does not descend when
the crank handle is free from your hand. If it falls
down, turn the tension bolt clockwise to hold the
position so as to avoid accident.
Place a block ice on the center of the shaving table.
The ice should not exceed the area of the shaver blade.
Otherwise ice cannot be shaved well or shaved
improperly and jumps out.
Turn the crank handle counterclockwise to lower the
ice holder. Make sure that the ice is gripped by spikes
of the holder firmly.
Insufficient gripping could cause the ice to fly out of
the chamber.
Turn the sliding cover to the left to close until the cover
contacts the stopper. If it is not fully closed, the safety
switch activates the unit not to work even when it is
switched on.

7
Prepare a cup under the shaving table to receive the
shaved ice.
Switch ON. Shaving ice begins.
Adjust the texture of shave ice.
Turn the blade adjustment knob for the desired
texture. For finer texture, turn the knob clockwise. or
turn it counterclockwise for coarser.
Switch OFF. (Stop working.)
Turn off the switch.
Unplug the unit.
Pull out the plug from the outlet when the job is
finished for the day.

8
Taking the ice from the shaving table.
-Do not touch the blade tip in placing and taking out ice. It could cause injury.
-Do not touch the prongs of the ice holder. They could cause injury.
-
About Safety Switch
-When the sliding cover (shaving shield) is opened, the safety switch activates the unit to stop
operation for safety.
-Do never use the safety switch for power switch purpose. The machine could break down.
1) Switch the unit off.
And turn the crank handle clockwise to raise the ice
holder.
2) Confirm that the ice holder does not descend when a
supporting hand is removed from the crank handle.
3) Move the sliding cover to the right to open.
4) Take out the ice from the shaving table.
5) Turn the crank handle counter-clockwise to keep the
ice holder to the lowest level. Close the sliding cover
(shaving shield).
This is for safety reasons.

9
About Tension Adjustment Bolt
Adjust the tension adjustment bolt not to descend when you remove supporting hand from the
holder. Otherwise it could cause injury.
It adjusts the power to hold the ice.
-Use a slotted screw driver.
-Turn the tension adjusting bolt clockwise for stronger tension of gripping ice
or counterclockwise for weaker.
Confirm the adjustment by turning the crank handle. Recommended tension is
such that the ice block holder does not descend when you remove a supporting
hand from the crank handle, yet it does not feel heavy or tight when the
handle is moved to raise the holder.
About Protector
-When the motor is overloaded, the protector causes the shaver to stop automatically.
-When the motor is overheated under a certain period of continuous run, the protector reacts it
to stop the operation. The protector also reacts to overload of the motor.
-The motor has a protector built in.
-Follow the instructions below when the protector works.
1. Turn off the power switch and unplug the unit.
2. Remove a cause of the overload
(e.g., when the blade catches the ice too deeply by raising the blade too
high, it may obstruct rotation of the motor.).
Lower the blade and reposition the ice.
3. Leave the shaver switched off for an hour and then it restores itself.
The machine will automatically reactivate.
If the protector works often, please consult with the distributor.
