What parts are on the Can Opener? The Wheels The Levers The Wedges The Teeth The Screws
How do you work it? • To work the can opener you have to use the levers (handles) to adjust the size of the can opener to the size of the can. You must then use the second lever (a handle on the side of the machine) by turning it around. This makes one of the gears to rotate which turns the wheel. The axle connected to it also has another gear on it which all together made the wedge at the top push up the can’s lid.
What are it’s limitations? • The limitation of the machine is that it can’t cut through thick metal. It is designed to cut through one type of material which is very thin.
