Turn shredder on. Insert paper squarely into
Feed Opening (3). A light barrier will auto-
matically 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.
To shred a piece of paper too small to break the light barrier, press the
FORWARD button (7) once to override the auto ON/OFF function. The shredder
will continue to run until the FORWARD button is pressed again.
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.
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.

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
