Manual Top-Cut Can Opener Cutting Wheel Replacement

Giriş

Use this guide to replace a misaligned or bent cutting wheel on a can opener. This procedure applies to all top-cut can openers. Top-cut can openers are a common type that attach to the top of a can, pierce the lid, and cut along the rim as you rotate them. They can leave a sharp edge where the lid was removed, so use caution when handling the can afterward

The cutting wheel is the part of the can opener that pierces the top of the can and cuts the edge to open it. If this piece gets misaligned for any reason, the entire can opener will stop working. This can happen if your can opener starts to rust under the blade, or if the metal of a can bends the blade out of place.

While the cutting blade is not sharp, it still has a thin edge. Use caution when handling it to avoid injury.
