Setting up the shredder

paper shredder includes a built-in safety mechanism that requires the

shredder is now ready to be used.

Using your shredder

1 Slide the power button from OFF to AUTO.
2 Insert the paper, optical disc (CD/DVD), or credit card into the feed slot.
Caution: Do not insert more than 8 pages, 1 disc, or 1 credit card at a time.

the shredder will stop.

Caution: Always feed paper in as straight as possible.
Caution: Insert no more than eight sheets of paper or one credit card or

optical disc at a time.

Caution: Never try to clear a jam by using REV when the wastebasket is full,
or the jam could be made worse.

Turns off the shredder. For safety reasons, leave the shredder in the OFF position
whenever the shredder is unattended or not in use.

Troubleshooting

• If a jam occurs and the cutter stops, slide the power button to REV and pull out the jammed
paper.

• If paper is jammed in the shredder blades, please slide the power button to OFF, unplug the
power cord, and remove all paper from the entrance and exit of the feed slot.

• If the shredder is run continuously for long periods of time and the motor overheats, a thermal
safety switch automatically turns off the shredder. If this occurs, slide the power button to OFF
and do not use the shredder for 30 minutes.

Maintenance

Once a month, drizzle vegetable oil or cooking oil (nothing petroleum based) on a few pieces of
paper and feed them through the shredder.

Cautions

• Repairs must be made by a qualifi ed technician. Do not attempt to repair the shredder
yourself.

• Do not alter the shredder or power cord in any way.

• Do not operate the shredder if it or the power cord appears damaged in any way.

• Always unplug the shredder when moving it or not using it for a long period of time.

• Do not shred wet paper, carbon paper, or vinyl or plastic bags. Shredding these items may
reduce the shredder’s performance or cause shock or injury.

• Empty the wastebasket regularly to ensure that the paper slot does not become blocked.

• Do not use garbage bags with this shredder. Garbage bags could prevent the shredder head
from being correctly mounted, which will prevent the shredder from functioning properly.
