1. If the batteries are depleted and the Tin Opener is still on the can, you will not be able to remove it by
pressing the button. In this case, you will need to replace the batteries.
2. The magnet in the centre of the Tin Opener will often pick up the can lid and remove it. If the magnet doesn’t
hold, you may need to carefully lift the lid off by hand.

screwdriver may be inserted in the release screw and slowly turned counter-clockwise until the cutting blade
retracts.

jam. Not meant for use on rimless cans.
