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
AUTO
(I) position). For the safety of pets and children, we rec-
ommend 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 dam-
age to the cutting system and will void the manufacturer'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).
5. Slide paper straight 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
OFF
(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 basket.
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 running time, the
shredder will automatically shut off its motor until it has
cooled to an acceptable operating level.
This is normal and the
shredder will return to operation after the “cool-down” 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 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) 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 carefully 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.
