TURNING ON YOUR SHREDDER
①ON, OFF and REVERSE are controlled by the black Rocker Switch (3) on the top of the shredder.
②Moving the switch to the “I” (ON) position places the shredder in the standby mode.
Note: Shredder will run momentarily.③Moving the switch to the center or “O” (OFF) position turns the shredder off.④The REVERSE position “R” will be discussed in “CLEARING A PAPER JAM”.SHREDDING
Turn shredder on. Insert paper squarely into Feed Opening (1). A light barrier (2) will automatically activate the shredding mechanism.
Continue feeding paper into the Feed Opening until the shredding mechanism begins to draw the paper in. At this point, allow the paper to feed into the shredder on its own. Once the
paper has passed completely through the shredding mechanism, the electronic controls will automatically stop the machine.
Microfiche and transparencies can also be shredded in the same manner as paper, however, you should shred a piece of paper after every 8 or 10 sheets of plastic. This helps clean plastic particles out of the shredding mechanism.
ALWAYS TURN SHREDDER OFF IF IT WILL BE UNATTENDED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME
CAPACITY
Capacity is the number of sheets of 8½” x 11” paper that can be shredded at one time. These figures are approximate and machines may vary slightly due to various conditions. It is not recommended that you try to run your shredder at maximum capacity, as this increases the chance of a paper jam.

CLEARING A PAPER JAM
If too many sheets of paper are fed into your shredder at one time, it may cause a paper jam. Running your shredder at maximum capacity increases the chance of a paper jam. If a paper jam occurs, it is easy to clear by following these simple steps:
①Turn shredder off using ON/OFF/REVERSE switch (3)②Firmly pull on paper sticking out of Feed Opening while holding ON/OFF/REVERSE switch in the REVERSE (R) position.
③After paper has been removed from the Feed Opening, move the ON/OFF/REVERSE switch back to the ON (I) position.
④Separate some of the sheets and continue shredding.IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED RUNNING SHREDDERS AT MAXIMUM CAPACITY
