Initial Blade Check

Before first use, ensure the cutting blade is fully retracted. In rare cases, the blade may remain extended after manufacturing quality control. If this occurs, insert the batteries, press the start button once, and wait for the blade to return to its starting position before placing the opener on a can.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to open a can safely and efficiently:

1. Position the Opener: Place the electric can opener flat on top of the can, ensuring the cutting wheel and gear are aligned with the can's rim.
2. Start Operation: Press the start button once. The opener will automatically grip the can and begin rotating to cut the lid.
3. Automatic Cutting: Allow the opener to complete a full rotation around the can. It will continue cutting until you press the button again.
4. Stop Operation: Once the cutting is complete, press the start button again. Wait approximately 2 seconds for the blade to fully retract to its starting position.
5. Remove Opener and Lid: Carefully lift the can opener from the can. The built-in magnet will hold the lid, allowing for safe and easy disposal.
