This product features an
anything is inserted into the paper entry (while the power switch is in the AUTO position). For the safety of pets and children, we recom- mend always moving the power switch to OFF and unplugging when- ever the shredder is unattended or not in use.
1.Assemble shredder (see "ASSEMBLY").
2.Remove any large paper clips or other foreign objects (except sta- ples and small paper clips) from paper. If folding paper to fit paper entry, adjust sheet capacity appropriately.
Do not attempt to shred large paper clips or other hard materials (except staples and small paper
clips) with this machine. Extensive use of large paper clips or other hard materials will result in damage to the cutting system and will void the manufacturer's warranty.
3.Be sure power switch is in OFF (O) position. Plug shredder into proper power supply outlet.
4.Move power switch to AUTO (I) position.
When the unit is turned on and in standby mode (green LED lights), the shredder is ready to be fed paper through the paper entry. (See "TROUBLESHOOTING" if red LED is lit.)
NEVER insert hands or fingers intopaper entry as serious personal injury may result.
Do not exceed recommended sheet capacity (see "Product Usage Guide" on front cover of this manual).
5.Slide paper straight into paper entry until the shredder automatical- ly begins shredding. The shredder automatically stops a few sec- onds after shredding is complete. Continue shredding as desired to a MAXIMUM shredding time of
If the shredder jams or shuts off before the maximum shredding time, see "Clearing a Jam" section for further instructions.
6.Move power switch to OFF (O) position when shredding is com- plete.
7.Unplug power cord from outlet whenever shredder is unattended or not in use.
8.Look through viewer to see if basket is full. If full, pull out bas- ket and empty basket contents. Replace basket into cabinet.
Cool-Down Cycle
This shredder is protected with a special safety feature which prevents the motor from overheating with extensive use. When shredding is
attempted beyond the machine's maximum running time, the shred- der will automatically shut off its motor until it has cooled to an
acceptable operating level. This is normal and the shredder will return to operation after the
Clearing a Jam
If the shredder sheet capacity is exceeded or paper is not put in straight, a jam may result. See "Product Usage Guide" on front panel for maximum sheet capacity for your shredder. In the case of a jam,
the shredder's red LED will light and the shredder will automatically stop until the jam is cleared.
To clear a jam:
1.Move the power switch to the REVERSE (R) position. (NOTE: If waste basket is full, empty it before clearing jam.) The shredder will reverse the paper to clear the jam.
2.If the shredder jams in reverse, move the power switch to AUTO(I) and allow to run for about five seconds. If jam does not clear, move power switch to REVERSE (R) again and allow to run for about five seconds. Repeat this procedure until the jam is cleared. If necessary, use care to grasp the paper carefully and pull out to clear the jam.
3.Once the jam is cleared, move the power switch to AUTO (I) for continued shredding or OFF (O) if shredding is complete.
