and all the LED warning symbols on the indicator panel (a) will flash in
sequence. The shredder will now be in standby mode and the “Power-

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.

If 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.
