Installation

Unpack your new shredder from its shipping
container.
Place the shredder on a table top, desk or the
optional shredder stand. Be sure the selected work
surface is strong enough to support the weight of
the shredder.
To attach the wire form feed guide, tilt the shredder
back until the front feet lift off the table. Angle the
wire form feed guide so one “U” curve fits around
one of the metal tabs. Wrap the other side’s “U”
curve around the other metal tab. Set the shredder
down so the front edge of the guide extends one­half in front of the machine, with the rest of the
guide between the shredder and the table.
Holding the bag support rod horizontally, pull the
bag up through the center of the rod and wrap the
edges of the bag over the rod. To attach the rod to
the machine, squeeze the ends of the rod together
enough (approximately 1-1/2”) to fit between the
back feet on the shredder base. From the back of
the machine, slide the rod under the shredder until
it stops. Release the rod to allow it to snap into
place, with the ends resting against the shredder
feet. Make sure the bag does not block output from
the shredder.
When shredding continuous forms, feed paper
between the guide and the shredder into the
shredder throat.

Caution

Never insert hand, fingers or any
foreign objects into the feed
opening.

Serious injury may result.

Keep all loose articles of clothing,
ties, jewelry, long hair or other
loose objects away from feed
opening.

Injury may result.

Always turn off and unplug the
machine before moving, servicing,
cleaning or conducting any activity
other than normal operation.

Serious injury may result.

Operation

Read operating instructions before
putting shredder into
operation.

Insert plug into power outlet.

Prepare paper to be shredded, making sure not to
exceed the recommended sheet capacity. Paper
clips will not harm the cutting system, but the
added thickness may decrease sheet capacity (see
specifications for recommended sheet capacities).

Switching shredder ON/FORWARD.

Press rocker switch to position (I)
(the switch will lock into place.)
The cutting system is now running
in the forward mode. Insert the
paper into throat opening and the
cutting system will pull the paper
in.

Switching shredder OFF.

Lightly press rocker switch
towards (R) The switch will reset
to the OFF position (0) and the
cutting system will stop.

Switching shredder to REVERSE.

Press rocker switch to position (R)
and hold. The cutting system is
now running in the reverse
direction. Release the switch and
it will automatically reset to (0)
0FF.

If a Jam Occurs

The cutting system may jam if the recommended
capacity is exceeded (see specifications). When this
occurs, depress the switch to the REVERSE position
(R). This will back out the jammed material. The
operator should tear out and remove excess
jammed paper, if necessary, and then commence
shredding in smaller quantities so as not to further
jam the machine.
