Instructions for Use and Care
ongratulations! You have just acquired the world’s first electrically
powered oyster shucker. The Proshucker is a professionally engineered
tool, meticulously designed for the rigors of commercial and institutional
C
requiring skill, into one that is easier, faster and safer. Using the Proshucker, oyster
preparation can be performed by someone with little or no previous experience with
a minimum of training.
The oyster shells are separated by a cone-shaped, threaded bit which literally
screws itself between the top and bottom shell halves, gently forcing them apart.
Then, the meat may be loosened from the shells with a dull tipped knife. A sharptipped knife is never needed, so hands are safe. The bit will not fracture shells or
tear the oyster meat, thus resulting in higher yield. After a little practice, the average
user can open as many as 10 oysters per minute.
Please read this instruction booklet in its entirety and keep it handy for future
reference. Do not attempt to use the machine until you’ve finished reading these
instructions. Also, read the product warranty statement and complete the Product
Warranty/Registration Card and mail it back to the manufacturer.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• NEVER immerse either the power unit or the footswitch in water or other
liquid. Severe electrical shock can result.
• CLOSELY supervise nearby children when using Proshucker.
• DO NOT operate the Proshucker outdoors.
• DO NOT attempt to operate the Proshucker if the unit has been dropped
or if power cord, power plug, footswitch or footswitch cord have been
damaged. Return it for repair. (See SERVICE.) Except for the bit and
splash shield, there are no user serviceable parts.
•DO NOToperate when wearing loose clothing or accessories (bracelet,
neck chain, necktie, scarf, etc.). These could be caught by the rotating
bit and cause injury. Loose hair should be pulled back and secured.
•DO NOTtouch the threaded bit with a gloved hand when the bit is
rotating. The threads may grab your glove and attempt to wrap it (and
your hand) around the bit.
• THE PROSHUCKER is equipped with a power cord with a three-blade plug.
Plug this ONLY into a matching 120 volt A.C. three-blade outlet. DO NOT
cut off the third blade or attempt to use with a two-blade extension cord. If
you are too far from the outlet, use a three-wire extension cord of adequate
power rating (see specifications), obtainable at almost any hardware store.
• UNPLUG the machine when not in use, before attempting to clean or when
changing bits. Pull only on the plug, never on the cord.
• MAKE SURE that the footswitch is not depressed before plugging-in or
unplugging the power cord.
•DO NOTattempt to use with unauthorized attachments or for any
application other than that for which the unit was designed. Such use
could create a hazardous situation or cause personal injury to the user.
•DO NOToperate on or near hot surfaces or appliances used for cooking.
•DO NOTlet power cord hang over edge of table or counter.
• WHEN NOT IN USE, store the unit in a safe place where it will not be
a hazard to passers-by.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND CARE
ATTACHING THE BIT
The threaded bit and the round splash guard are packed with the
Proshucker but not attached to it when the unit is shipped (see Figure A).
The plastic splash guard is a round disc with a center hole that fits over the
output shaft, behind the bit. It prevents liquids and pieces of debris from
entering the Proshucker body. Slide it over the output shaft until it hits the
machine housing.
The bit has a hole on the back side, threaded to mate with the output shaft.
Screw the bit onto the shaft, as far as it will go. You can just make it finger
tight. It will tighten as you shuck oysters.
PICKING A WORK LOCATION
Make sure that your work location has adequate space so you can work
freely and that it is close to a standard, 120 volt A.C., three-blade wall
outlet. (The power cord is about six feet long.) Arrange to drape the line
cord (and the extension, if one is used) where it will not interfere with your
working freedom of movement, where it cannot be caught by the rotating
bit and where it will not trip passers-by.
The Proshucker should be placed on a flat, non-porous counter with the bit
facing away from you. Press down on the top of the Proshucker to set the
suction cups.
Decide which foot you will use to operate the foot switch and put the switch
on a firm or hard-surfaced floor, where it can lie flat in front of that foot.
DO NOT place it in water or on a very wet floor.
