Why are there slivers on can lid or in food product from my EDLUND Can Opener?
- D
  Denise EstradaAug 9, 2025
  If you're finding slivers on the can lid or in the food after using your EDLUND Can Opener, consider the following: * **Knife edge**: The factory knife edge might be nicked or altered. Replace the knife (K045) and "O" ring (R090). * **Knife rotation**: The knife may not be rotating properly. Check, clean, and lubricate it as required. * **Knifeholder**: Inspect the knifeholder for any sharp edges or grooves. Replace or repair as necessary. * **Drive gear**: The drive gear could be slipping or milling (removing metal from the can bead).

Why won't the shield and drive gear lock in place on my EDLUND Can Opener?

  If the shield and drive gear on your EDLUND Can Opener won't lock in place, the shield latch may not be functioning correctly. Remove the knifeholder, gear, and shield. Ensure the latch, located through the hole in the front of the housing, moves up and down easily and that the spring is holding the latch down. If there are issues with movement or the spring, disassemble and remove the motor and gearbox assembly from the housing and repair the latch as needed.

  Francisco HallAug 21, 2025
  If your Model 270C EDLUND Can Opener descends too quickly when the knurled knob is loosened, the friction pads likely need adjustment. Remove the two black caps on the side of the clamp base and adjust the spring plungers inward. The opener should descend no faster than one inch or 25mm per minute.

What to do if drive gear won't turn can in EDLUND Can Opener?
- E
  Eric CarlsonOct 26, 2025
  If the drive gear on your EDLUND Can Opener isn't turning the can, here are some possible causes and solutions: * **Gear wear**: The gear (G041) may be worn and needs to be replaced. * **Clearance issues**: The clearance between the top of the gear and the bottom of the knifeholder may be incorrect. Adjust this to .100-.105 inches by moving the height adjusting screw (A054) up or down with the lever in the locked position. * **Knife stud**: A worn knife stud can prevent proper turning. Inspect the knife stud and replace the knifeholder if it's worn. * **Welds**: Check for broken welds on the rear of the frame or on the housing bracket located in the side housing assembly (A273). Repair any broken welds as needed. * **Gear train**: If the motor runs but the output gear doesn't ro...

  Margaret MckeeOct 30, 2025
  If your EDLUND Can Opener isn't starting, here are several potential causes and solutions: * **Cordset issues**: Ensure the cordset is correctly plugged into a grounded outlet that matches the voltage specified on the opener's rating label. * **Circuit breaker**: For CSA & 230 volt models, reset the circuit breaker. If it continues to trip, consider replacing it. * **Switch problems**: An inoperative actuating switch (S228) or a broken two-speed switch (S312) will need to be replaced. * **Motor issues**: Check the motor brushes (B117) for wear and replace them along with the brush springs (S158) if needed. The motor itself may have failed and require replacement with the correct voltage motor. * **Wiring**: Inspect the wiring for any breaks or loose terminals and repair or repla...

Why does my EDLUND Can Opener reject cans?
- B
  Becky HallNov 4, 2025
  If your EDLUND Can Opener is rejecting cans, consider these potential causes and solutions: * **Clearance issues**: The clearance between the back of the knife and the front of the gear might be too large. With the lever locked down, this clearance should be between .017 and .022 inches. Adjust it by removing the gear adapter (A055) and adding stems (S318) as needed. * **Motor timing**: The motor may be starting too early. To fix this, remove the housing assembly from the base and adjust the motor position by either screwing out the switch actuator (S049) or moving the switch assembly. Ensure the motor starts when the knife is at the top of the gear teeth. * **Knife rotation**: The knife might not be rotating freely. Remove the knife holder, clean the knife, knife stud, and mounting...
