Overload Protection
This shredder is protected by a built-in thermal overload device that serves to protect the motor
from overuse. When continuous shredding is conducted for an extended period of time, the
shredder will automatically turn itself off to cool down. When shredding is automatically stopped,
allow the unit to stand for about 30 minutes before using it again.
Important Note
This paper shredder is not intended to shred high volumes of paper. Please refer to the
specifications for the recommended daily usage and sheet capacity of this shredder. Please note
that if the paper is wider than the entry, and you fold it to fit, the paper thickness increases and
the recommended capacity may be exceeded.
