How to use

Position the cutting wheel on the rim of the can and clamp the handles together to engage the cutting mechanism. Rotate the opener around the can rim while maintaining even pressure; the cutting wheel will slice through the lid and separate it cleanly from the can body. After finishing, lift the lid carefully to avoid contact with the cut edge, and rinse the opener under running water to remove residue. Dry thoroughly before storing.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, ensure the cutting wheel and handle are free of food debris before use. Apply steady, moderate pressure while turning to avoid slipping. If the opener shows signs of excessive wear, replace it to maintain cutting quality and safety. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
