You use lid only. Requires a jar sealing attachment, there's one for
each lid size. Some FoodSavers come with one size attachment, other
models don't come with any.
Sometimes there is a problem sealing regular size lids but, one trick
that I've found works very well is to apply two lids to the jar before
using the sealing attachment. This is almost 100% effective and, after
sealing just lift off the second lid.
