4Insert paper to be shredded into the feed area. The Mercury anti jam mechanism will sense the thickness of the paper being shredded.

If the paper thickness is within the shredders capacity the motor will start and your documents will be shredded. Cutters will stop once the shredding process is complete.

If the paper thickness is greater than the shredders sheet capacity the area around the feed slot will turn from green to red and the motor will not run. In this situation the Mercury Icon on the indicator panel will flash red, the green will go off, instead the will be illuminated red.

5If this happens, remove some of the sheets from the paper stack and re-try until the feed area reverts back to green, the shredder will then automatically start and allow the paper to be shredded.

If the shredder is left in auto mode for more than 10 minutes without being used, the shredder will automatically turn back to standby mode in order to save power.

Reverse Function

1Should you wish to reverse the shredding direction whilst shredding a document, a reverse button (f) has been fitted for your convenience.

2By pressing the reverse button the shredding cutters will change direction allowing the retrieval of the document being shredded. The feed area will turn to red.

3The reverse function will only run whilst the button is being pressed. When the reverse button has been released the shredder will revert to stand by mode.

Rare Occasions of Jamming

In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, use the reverse function to unblock the shredder. (see Reverse function section)
