3. The can will rotate and the blade will cut the can lid open. Because of the hands-free feature, it is not necessary to hold blade bracket down or support the can during cutting.
   NOTE: In case the total weight of a can is over 21oz, it is necessary to press and hold the can opener to avoid overturning.
   Note: The can required to be opened shall be 50mm to 100mm in diameter and 140mm max in height.
