Model #G-2 Can Opener Assembly Procedure
The Model #G-2 can opener will be assembled according to the following procedure.
I. Model #G-2 Handle and Arbor Assembly (A210) (Fig. 1)
Insert arbor (A032) into slot at end of handle assembly (A209). Align holes and secure using a roll pin
(P026S).
II. Model #2 Knife holder Assembly (A518) (Fig. 1)
Place the knife (K070) on tang of knife holder (H050). Secure knife holder using screw (S260) and O-
ring R065.
III. Model #G2 Main Assembly
Place spring (S151) and spool (S251) into hole in top of slide bar assembly (A210). Insert spring
compression tool (A5191) into rear of gear slot and compress washer and spring until knife holder
ears will slide over the washer. Align the holes in slide bar and knife holder and insert rivet (R081)
through both parts. Place head of rivet on top of steel plate and upset other end of rivet using
hammer.
Remove the spring compression tool and insert gear (G011) with stamped word "Edlund Up" toward
top of side bar. Place bushing (B122) into opening at top of slide bar and slide arbor of handle and
arbor assembly (A210) down through bushing, washer and spring and into gear. Screw arbor into
gear while keeping gear from rotating by inserting soft nail or screw into space on left side of gear
between the gear and the edge of the gear slot. Turn handle clockwise until arbor and gear are fully
tightened. When gear and arbor are properly assembled there should be very little space between the
top of the bushing and the bottom of the handle.
Lubricate the arbor hole using non-sticking vegetable oil and inspect using final inspection
instructions.
#G-2 Can Opener Maintenance
1. #G-2 Knife Replacement Procedure
The knife (K070) should be checked periodically to make sure that there are no nicks or grooves on the
cutting edge of the knife. The knife should be reversed or replaced to use the unused cutting edge or
replaced using new knife.
Raise the handle and remove the screw (S260) that retain the knife to the knife holder and reverse the
knife or replace with a new knife and secure using the two screws.
2. #G-2 Gear Replacement Procedure
If gear will no longer turn a can or starts to remove metal from the can bead, the gear needs to be
replaced. To remove the gear, place a soft nail or screw on the right side of the gear between the gear
and the edge of the gear slot to keep gear from rotating. Turn handle counterclockwise until arbor is free
from gear. Replace the gear and assemble the gear according to the previous assembly procedure.
