Operating Instructions
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Position the Opener: Place the Can-Do opener on top of the can, ensuring the cutting wheel aligns with the can's rim. The opener is designed to sit securely on the can.
- Engage the Mechanism: Begin twisting the large green mechanism on top of the opener clockwise. The opener will automatically grip the can's edge as you twist, initiating the cutting process.
- Cut the Lid: Continue twisting the mechanism until the lid has been cut all the way around the can. You may feel a slight change in resistance when the cut is complete.
- Release the Lid: Once the lid is fully cut, press the easy-press lid-release button (the small green button on the side) to disengage the opener from the can. The lid will remain attached to the opener for safe disposal.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your can opener, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Opener does not grip the can. | Not positioned correctly; cutting wheel is dirty. | Ensure the opener is centered on the can and the cutting wheel is aligned with the rim. Clean the cutting wheel if necessary. |
| Lid is not fully cut. | Not enough rotations; dull cutting wheel. | Continue twisting the mechanism until you feel the cut is complete. If the issue persists, the cutting wheel may be worn. |
| Lid does not release easily. | Release button not fully pressed; debris. | Press the lid-release button firmly. Check for any food debris obstructing the mechanism and clean if necessary. |
