2) Turn the handle on the top of the bottle opener to drill the screw plug into the cork. Take care to keep the auger running vertically and not through the cork. At this time, the handles on both sides will open more and more because of the running in of the auger;

 

3) Close to the bottom of the cork, open the two wings of the bottle opener, press down the two wings with both hands, and then open the cork.
