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
A U TO
(I) position). For the safety of pets and children, we recom-
mend always moving the power switch to
O F F
(O) and unplugging
whenever the shredder is unattended or not in use.
1 . Assemble shredder head to basket (see “A S S E M B LY”).
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
O F F
(O) position. Plug shredder
into the proper power supply outlet.
4 . Move power switch to
A U T O
(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 s t r a i g h t 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
O F F
(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 baske t .
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 run -
ning time, the shredder will automatically shut off
its motor until it has cooled to an acceptable oper-
ating level.
This is normal and the shredder will return to opera-
tion after the “cool-d o w n” 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 R E V E R S E (R) position. (If waste
b a s k et 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 A U T O
(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 A U TO (I) for
continued shredding or OFF (O) if shredding is complete.
