The Edlund 12100 #2 Manual Can Opener is a top - notch addition to any foodservice operation. It features a table - style design with a brand - new plated steel base that offers enhanced durability. The arbor is rust - resistant, thanks to the Melonite treatment, which not only provides greater protection against rust but also makes gear changing a breeze. The new base comes with a plastic insert, and the replaceable plastic base insert ensures a smooth glide action while reducing wear on the opener shaft. The Delrin plastic spool works wonders in reducing friction against the handle, improving the overall wear resistance. The base design is more rigid, guaranteeing long - lasting performance. With a plastic bushing, it requires lower turning force, making opening cans easier. This can opener, invented by Edlund 75 years ago, has set the industry standard and now has been improved to meet the tough demands of modern foodservice. It can handle any size can up to 11' in height, and it's proudly made in America. Specifications include a stainless - steel base with a screw - down style, table - mounted installation, and manual power. The case cube is 2.6 FT3 / 0.07 M3.

Using the Edlund 12100 #2 Manual Can Opener is a piece of cake. First, make sure it's properly installed on your table using the screw - down base. Place the can under the cutting wheel and turn the handle gently. The plastic bushing will make this a low - effort task. As you turn, the can will open smoothly. For safety, always keep your fingers away from the cutting wheel. When it comes to maintenance, clean the can opener after each use with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the plated steel base or the plastic parts. Check the arbor regularly for any signs of rust, and if you notice the plastic base insert wearing out, replace it promptly to keep the opener working at its best.
