How do you fit it on can lid to begin with?

It's a little tricky the first time you use it. First, slide the lever on the handle to the left. Then put the opener flat on top of the can you want to open until the little gear engages the side of the can. Close the lever by turning it to the right which locks it into place. Then turn to your hearts content. Remember, practice makes perfect. This is an excellent opener when you get the hang of it. Go for it!!

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. It fits on top of the can. With a "normal" can opener you would hold it on the side but with this it's on top, kind of horizontal with it. You open the handle, line it up with the edge of can, close the handle to secure it, then turn.

honestly i recommend you don't bother. but if you insist, you have to to be near perfectly level and near perfectly square to the tangent line. then while maintaing that position, slide the lever closed. don't let that motion tweak the alignment or you'll have to start over. i sent that piece of junk back and now have the easiest to use can opener. it's the Kuhn Rikon opener. all you have to do is be anywhere near the edge of the can and start turning the crank. it grabs immediately and makes quick easy work (as it should) of removing the lid.

Hi, I just stuck it on the can as you would any normal can opener and started to turn the handle. Please note that this opener opens the lid along the edge in a way that you may not realize (at first) that it actually worked. So, after working it, check and see if lid has indeed been separated from the rest of the can. The unit works very easily and slick.

See visual instructions that came with the product. Slide the lever to the left to "open" the cutting blades. Place the edge of the can between between the two cutting blades, keeping opener perpendicular to the can. Slide the lever back to the right and you're ready to go!

Okay, so you hold it in a horizontal position. Usually a hand crank can opener is positioned so the handle is on the side of the can and the crank is also on the side. This type of opener is placed so the handle is on top of the can sideways, with the crank facing upwards. Of course, you also have to make sure the handle is clamped to the edge of the can securely before you start to crank the thing. As I said in my review of this product, it is really tricky with this opener. A pain. And pretty hard to describe how to use it without pictures.

Just remove the lid from the battery and insert the lid on the side of the grip. Then tirnbthe little wheel on the side. Put the little cable fromnthe grip to the can. Insert the battery and u good to go

I grip the lower part of the tin and twist the lid while pulling up. It's a bit of a pain sometimes to get the lid off.

Mine does not fit snug, but there is no gap. You won't get the proper temperature if it doesn't fit right. There should be a rubber gasket on the edge of the lid.

Pull the center piece out of the rubber gasket when you receive the part. Then insert just the gasket onto the plastic bin hole, then push the center piece through the gasket until snug. Double check by putting a little water in the tank. Pretty easy.

Open the lid, and at the base of the lid where it connects to the body, there's a small metal bar that is slid into a locked position in the body. While the lid is upright, gently guide the bar up, over, and past the little lock, and pull up. It should come right out.

I use a butter knife and wedge it under the edge of the lid and then try sliding it across so that I can pry it off. Sometimes it's easier to pry open when it's not overfilled. Good luck! Hope this helps.

It's really very easy. First, it's best to put vegetable oil on the rubber O ring...it makes for a tight fit. After that fill the container with water and snug the top on. Do not over tighten. If it overflows tighten top a little more. It works like a charm everytime.

I'm curious as to what type of can you are trying to find a lid for, as I'm unfamiliar with a can of that size. I know of 3 pet food can diameters. A 3oz. can (such as Fancy Feast) is approx 2" across; a tall(13oz?) and a 6.5oz can (rare) are approx. 3" across, and a 5.5oz can is a bit under 3" across. These lids fit all of those. Any extra info (brand?) would help me know what you're looking for. The middle-size ring is a bit stiffer than the inner and outer sizes, but once it's been used a bit, it gets much easier to snap on. I use it for all 3 sized cans.

Lay it out in open area. Put sides on each end, bottom and back in appropriate location . It then snaps together, Put seat lid on Last.Take your time and it will come together. Works better if 2 people are doing it

Hmm, not sure if any of these will fit a can that size. To be honest, I think you should measure the top of the can and then find a lid that would fit it. Maybe some of the bigger lids in the set would fit, but I'd measure it first. Sorry, hope this helps.

Yes, I've done it several times. It's a tight squeeze to get the lid on but it fits.

Have one of the spouts open while putting the lid on. Angle the lid so you start from one side, then press down working your way around the rim. Once the lid is on, then snap the spout closed.A little more work putting the lid on, is worth it because it is truly water tight.

Take an equally small flat head screwdriver and pop the lid with it by putting it under the edge (just a little) closest to the middle (same side as the screw hole). I just tried it, as it has been quite a while. I had to gently 'pop' it in two spots on that edge.

Check to make certain that you have the correct ring for your canner model. If it is, it should fit in the groove on the lid where the sealing ring goes. The correct ring will be snug in the groove and fit tightly as you put the lid on the canner.

This is how to close it: (same answer as that posted by Steven Hazel on a similar previous question... oh, and I just noticed: also the same as Michael Nicosia on this same question)In order to open the tin, you take off the white plastic ring (and discard), and push down on the center of the lid. This makes the lid "pop" loose so you can take it off. In order to close it, take the lid and "pop" it back out to its original shape (by pushing on the underside of the cap), then put the lid back on the tin and it should snap on easily by pushing down. (In order to open it next time, you will need to push down on the center of the lid again).

I purchased the square one. I didnt need some so big. I would take measurements, height and width. The hole on top is smaller than a regular garbage can. So that might be a little problem. I think you are going to try to close the lid by screwing it on. Only makes sense but I think that is a problem of its own cuz screwing the lid on will also turn the garbage bad. Good Luck
