Operation, Cool-Down Cycle, Clearing a Jam

OPERATION

This product features an auto-start sensor. This sensor will turn on the cutting blades whenever anything is inserted into the paper entry (while the power switch is in the AUTO (I) position). For the safety of pets and children, we rec- ommend always moving the power switch to OFF (O) and unplugging whenever the shredder is unattended or not in use.

1.Assemble shredder head to basket (see “ASSEMBLY”).

2.Remove any paper clips or other foreign objects (except staples) from paper. If folding paper to fit paper entry, adjust sheet capaci- ty appropriately.

Do not attempt to shred paper clips or other hard

materials (except staples) with this machine. Extensive use of paper clips or other hard materials will result in dam- age to the cutting system and will void the manufacturer's warranty.

3.Be sure power switch is in the OFF (O) position. Plug shredder into the proper power supply outlet.

4.Move power switch to AUTO (I) position. As soon as the unit is turned on, it is in autostart mode, ready to be fed paper through the paper entry.

NEVER insert hands or fingers into paper entry as serious personal injury may result.

Do not exceed recommended sheet capacity (see “Product Usage Guide” on page 1).

5.Slide paper straight into paper entry until the shredder auto- matically begins shredding.

The shredder automatically stops when shredding is complete.

Continue shredding as desired to a MAXIMUM shredding time of 5-7 minutes. At this time, the machine MUST be allowed to “cool down” for a MINIMUM of 15 minutes. (See “Cool- Down Cycle” section for more information.)

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 when shredder is not in use.

8.Look through viewer to see if basket is full. If full, lift off shredder head and empty basket contents. Replace shredder head into posi- tion on basket.

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 shredder 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 “cool-down” period. See “Product Usage Guide” (page 1) for maximum running time and related cooling or “off” time.

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” (page 1) for maximum sheet capacity for your shredder. In the case of a jam, the machine will “bog down” and fail to shred the paper.

To clear a jam:

1.Move the power switch to the REVERSE (R) position. (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.
