OPERATION

WARNING! H-1381 Drum Opener is NOT a 
non-sparking device. Never use where there is 
any possibility of ignition from sparks.

WARNING! The Drum Opener is designed for 
use only with steel drums. Do not use to open 
any type of fiber or plastic drums.

WARNING! All threaded parts must be tight 
except for the adjustment knobs.

1.  Turn back the adjustment knob to extend the drum 

opener to the fully open position for maximum 
blade clearance over drum chime. (See Figure 1)

2.  Tilt the handle over the drum and place the groove 

in the cutter base on top of the drum chime.  

(See Figure 2)

3.  With blade over the chime, tighten the knob to 

slowly bring the cutter base firmly in contact with 
the side of the drum. The blade should contact the 
inside edge of the chime. (See Figure 3)

4.  Turn back the adjustment knob slightly so that the 

blade does not bind and wedge drum chime 
between blade and cutter base. (See Figures 4-5)
