Thank you for buying a Black & Decker paper shredder. Black & Decker paper shredders
have become the benchmark for innovation, performance and quality to protect against
identity theft. We have taken great care in designing and engineering a product to meet
and exceed your needs.
To ensure years of safe, efficient performance, please read
these important product usage and safety instructions.
WARNING ICONS: The icons on top of the shredder warn the user of the potential
dangers if the shredder is used improperly.
Setup
1. Optional castors are provided for product mobility. To attach, align each castor post (9) with
a respective hole on the bottom of the unit. Push each castor down into the hole until it clicks
into place. (Product will function without castors.)
2. Plug power cord into outlet. Turn master power switch (1) into the “On” position (“—”).
This switch is located on the side of the unit.
3. Raise Auto Feed Tray (2) into the upright position until you hear it lock into place.
4. When green POWER light (3) is on and all red error lights are off, the shredder is ready for
use.
Operation
Only one shredder slot can be used at a time. Attempting to use two slots at the same time
will cause the shredder to stop and the red Over Load light to illuminate.
TO USE AUTO FEED,
place a stack of up to 75 sheets of paper into the auto feed tray (2). The
shredder will beep for 3-5 seconds as it senses the load in the tray. No further action is
necessary.
Please note:
- All paperclips and staples must be at the top of the paper (furthest away from
the shredder opening).
- Do not insert additional paper into the Auto Feed tray when it is already in use.
TO USE MANUAL FEED, insert up to 6 sheets of paper into the manual feed slot (4).
TO SHRED CDS/DVDS OR CREDIT CARDS, insert object into the front slot (5).
TO EMPTY BIN, turn the master power off (“O”) using the master power switch (1) and
remove the bin. Replace bin once empty and turn power switch to On (“—”) to continue
shredding.
TO USE MANUAL REVERSE OR FORWARD, hold the reverse or forward button (6) down for
the shredder to continue shredding in the desired mode.
Changing between reverse and forward will result in a 2-3 second delay as the blades
change direction.
To clear a paper jam, see Troubleshooting section.
