Shirley, as I recall, the instructions also say to cut the end(s) of the vegetable so you'll be working with a flat surface on the vegetable up against the flat surface of the mandoline. Then just slide down toward the blade. Try a few practice slides and let us know how it works!

I place the little "finger" cut outs at the blade end on one side of the bowl and the handle on the other. This allows me to hold the mandolin and also slide the food item through the blade using the finger guard of course. The food slices off and falls into the bowl. You can select the thickness of the slice by sliding the "bar" on the back of the mandolin up. With it all the way down, towards the end with the blade, it will be closed...the platform will be even or a little above the blade. The slide bar has three thickness settings. The first stop is very thin... I use it for potato chips... Hope this helps.
