It workds very similar to a come along but with a lot more pulling power. Basically you tie one end of th tow wire/rope to the base of the jack, you tie the other part to the bumper ledge on he jack. As you jack the hnandle it shortens the ropes, pulls them together and pulls yyou out. An advanced version uses a pully so you don't have to keep rehooking to the jack.
Video explains it better than I can

Another method that works is to attach your tow strap to your rim and let the rotation of your tire wind up the strap.
