ASSEMBLY OF THE WASTEBASKET

This shredder must be used with the supplied wastebasket for safety reasons. The wastebasket and
shredder have special safety features built-in designed to protect the user.

1. Assemble the wastebasket by pulling the top portion of the wastebasket up while pushing the bottom
portion of the wastebasket down until the two portions lock into place with the four basket locks.

SHREDDING OPERATION

Prepare paper to be shredded. Remove paper clips and make sure to feed no more than the recommended
sheet capacity at one time. It is advisable in order to calibrate the shredder’s cutting mechanism

to shred 3 individual sheets of paper for the rst few shredding cycles. This will allow the internal
lubrication to be equally redistributed to all the moving parts in the cutter assembly.

1. Slide the main switch to the AUTO position to activate the standby mode.

2. The shredder automatically STARTS when paper is placed in the feed opening and STOPS when

nishedshredding.

3. Return the main switch to the OFFpositionwhennishedshredding.

The shredder top MUST be
positioned so that the INTERLOCK
LATCH fits into the INTERLOCK
