the p-38 or p-51 can opener is very easy to use simply open the cutting edge away from the opener, place on top or can and press down this will puncture the can keep that motion in turning around top of can it will fully open, hope this helps, please refer to u tube as they have vids on how to do it as well with graffic vidsRON

Pull the pointed blade out where it's at a 45 degree angle, place the pointed tip on top of the can next to the rim and you'll notice that the slot under the pointed blade fits right around the rim. From there press the point down in a clockwise motion into the top of the can. Once you've penetrated it and brought the point back up to the starting position, rotate the can counter clockwise, or pull the opener back just enough to make another cut in the same fashion. Continue to do that around the rim until the can is opened...be careful (!) the lid on the can will be extra shop using this type of device. Hope this helps, wish I could attach pictures.

I couldn't figure it out either. I'm gonna contact the seller. Hopefully that will help. I'll let you know if I find out how to use it.

Your best bet is to look it up on youtube. You'll find several videos that explains it.

You first have to pop the little bag inside and shake. They explode on their own. You could step on the after it inflates but you would just have to time it before it works itself. Hope that helps.

Hi there! I NEVER use the multi purpose bag on its own, unless Im trying to get bigger debris , like leaves..the micro fiber bags can be inserted into the all purpose bag to trap the smallest of small particles ...I have a bag from a previous unit that was a small particle bag..that is what I use all of the time!! And, don't forget to recharge the battery every couple of weeks during the winter,when not in use, or else you will need to buy a new unit come spring. Found that out the hard way!!! Once the battery is drained, you can not recharge it. Hope this helps!

Moisten your forefinger and thumb. This creates a resistive surface between the two. Put the end of the bag between the finger and thumb and rub the finger and thumb together. This should start the bag to open on the end. If not, you are on the wrong end and then turn the bag to the other end and try it again. Sounds like a lot of work but it's not. Be patient, it does work. Good luck.

I honestly couldn't figure it out really. It was my first one and I didn't get any instructions for it so I bought one that was simpler to use. I tried to get help from friends who had one and I couldn't translate them to it.

I'm sorry but I never actually used it. It's in my emergency kit and I hope I never have to use it...

Agree with other comment (except its QTY 6 to a bag). When your done using it just leave the tip on, it seals itself & when your ready to use it again, just throw THAT tip away & put on another.

We bought it for emergency purposes. have not fully utilized it yet, but per instructions, it seems pretty simple to use

We did the same thing, but I can't remember for sure. I think my husband knocked it apart with his hand and then redid it. Also you will find it helpful to put something heavy in the bottom of it before you put the bag in. This will help as an aid when you go to remove the bag.

Actually it is totally simple to use. Plug it in, let it heat up, and make sure that you don't OVER heat the seal - probably 3 seconds is right for mylar bags.

The instructions should be tucked inside the included shopping bag. I had the same issue and had even contacted the company and planned to return to Amazon before I discovered it! Good luck!

Sorry I sent it as a gift. I think you could probably google instructions. Good luck :)

I didn't get an instruction manual with mine either. I googled for it! Good luck!

Not sure. The directions are on the bag & their website. You could figure it from there.
