Helpful Hints For Using Your Can Opener • This can opener should not be used to open cans designed to be opened by another method, such as a pull tab, peel-off, foil seal, or rolling key.This can opener will not open rimless cans or cans with angled corners. • Occasionally, badly dented cans will cause the can opener to stall. If this happens, grasp the dented can and guide it through the cutting action manually until the damaged areas are passed. • To open a can that has become jammed, raise the can opener lever and release the can. Begin the cutting action again in a new place on the can lip. Sharpening Knives Do not attempt to sharpen hollow ground blades or those with serrated edges.
