Operating Instructions

1. Using the Can Opener

1. Position Can: Lift the lever. Place the can under the geared wheel so that the rim of the can is positioned between the geared wheel and the cutting blade.
2. Engage Can: Push the lever down firmly until the blade punctures the can lid and the geared wheel engages with the can rim. The can opener will automatically start cutting.
3. Hands-Free Operation: The can opener will hold the can and rotate it automatically until the lid is fully cut.
4. Automatic Stop: Once the can is fully opened, the motor will stop automatically.
5. Remove Can: Lift the lever to release the can. The magnetic lid holder will retain the lid, preventing it from falling into the can. Carefully remove the lid from the magnetic holder.

Note: For best results, ensure the can is placed securely and the lever is fully engaged.
