Protective Cover & Paper Guide
Black & Decker is committed to offering dependable, user-friendly products.
Our patent-pending Protective Cover delivers the security and peace of mind every user 
desires. When closed, it simply snaps in place and covers the shredder opening, making it 
difficult for children or pets to access the opening. It is also a simple visual cue that allows 
you to see from across the room that your shredder is safe and secure.
To open the Protective Cover, simply press the button on the 
front of the machine. This releases the cover and the front 
button will pop out. The cover will then pop up. For use, lift the 
cover to the open position. The shredder is now ready for use.
Once the Protective Cover is up, it also functions as a 
convenient paper guide for added ease-of-use.
When not shredding, close the Protective Cover.  You will 
know it is secure when the cover snaps into place and the front 
button returns to its original position.
Revolutionary Power Boost
Your Black & Decker paper shredder is equipped with Power Boost Technology.
Occasionally, if sheet capacity is exceeded or if the paper is not 
put in straight, you may experience a jam. Black & Decker 
developed Power Boost Technology that provides an 
overdrive function to power through a paper jam.
In case of a jam, the shredder will stop automatically.  To use 
the Power Boost function, simply press the Power Boost button for half a second. This will 
add the boost of power necessary to clear the jam. If the jam still remains, a flashing light 
will appear. Please refer to the Troubleshooting section in this manual.
