In the case of a can opener (1) having a cuboid casing (2) which accommodates an electric drive, which can opener (1) has, on a front surface (5), a conveying wheel (6) and a pivotable cutting device (7), a U-shaped handle (4) which contains storage-battery cells and has a passage (14) for the fingers of a hand holding the can opener is provided on an end face (3). In order to avoid the danger of injury while opening a can, the handle (4) is set back with respect to the front surface (5) by a distance sufficient to ensure that the ends of the fingers are situated outside the region (13) of movement of a can edge when the can opener (1) is taken hold of. Furthermore, the actuating lever (9) is also situated on the end face (3) outside the region (13) of movement of the can edge in such a way that the said lever (9) can be moved without danger by the index finger in the actuating direction and by the thumb of an operator in the opposite direction. <IMAGE>
