How do you remove the lid when finished?

A tin shears might do it! IF it has gone all the way around, it should come off easily. However, as I recall, there is a silvery doodad to the left of center, and if you push this, it will release the lid. Good Luck! I'd return it if I were you. Send it along with the lid.

The blade should retract releasing the can opener from the can when it makes a complete circle around the can. The blade should be retracted before you start. If it is not, push down on the little lever until it is.

If your can opener is working right, the lid should just lift off. Unfortunately, the last one I bought from Amazon does not completely remove the lid most of the time. The first one I had worked beautifully.

The lid will lift off when the opener finishes its circle around the can. When the opener stops you can lift both off.

It is supposed to release automatically. When it starts hanging on, you might as well toss it.

This item was terrible. It never removed the lid. Got jammed on the can. I threw both in the garbage. Thanks for reminding me. I will go on line and rate this.

I have had this problem also..I took 2 inch metal pain scraper put it on one of the humps on the lid and tapped it with a hammer. It took a few tries but it jarred it enough so I could unscrew it. Good Luck!

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.

Hi. I have one of these, and I can take the lid off of mine without removing it from the base.

Slide the top part across and position the two silver knobs on the lid, snap the top part back in place to lock the lid and remove.

It is removable but not an easy click..you need to remove a piece of screw at the back if you really have to take the lid apart.

Push it down in the hole towards the top of the lid and then pull it out. To replace it, lay the new one it and slowly work it into the area between the top part of the lid and the middle area.

pull the top black lid off, then turn the shaker lid off and fill container.

its been a while since i had this but i believe it should just twist/pull/pop right off. i dont remember the lid being an issue for me.

I believe lid is fixed. We returned the product so I can't check to see if it could be removed.

You lift the lid off. It doesn't have any hinges. I love the clean up. It is so easy if you don't over fill.

Yeah, the lid is supposed to be assembled separately. Peel it from the main box and continue assembly.

You turn a plastic thumb screw half turn on each hinge and lid lifts off. Simple yet clever!

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.

Hold the pot by the handle and lift the top off by pulling up on the tab over the handle. To replace the lid, insert the spout end first and press down on the tab over the handle.

Try taking the lid off when it is not sealed. Then seal it and try it again. You'll have major trouble removing the lid if it's sealed.

Once the jars have cooled, remove the rings and attempt to lift the jar by the Tattler lid alone. Grab onto the edge of the lid and pick the jar up a few inches off the table. If they are sealed, you can pick up the jar. If they are not, the lid will pull off. Those must be either re-processed or the contents enjoyed for dinner.
