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 recom- mend 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 damage to the cutting system and will void the manufactur- er'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).

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), depress the manual forward button 
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 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.
