IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
While setting up shredder
• Check shredder for damage or defects; some paper particles in the basket are normal 
due to product testing and does not indicate a defect. 
• If the cord is damaged do not replace cord or use the machine. Return machine for a 
replacement. 
• Avoid touching exposed blades on underside of PS80C-2 confetti-cut shredder head. 
• Plug power cord in an outlet that can easily be reached. 
• Do not place shredder near or over a heat or water source.

Set-Up
This shredder will only operate when used with the supplied basket. The supplied basket 
has a built-in safety feature which prevents the shredder from operating if used with any 
other basket or if improperly assembled.
• Position shredder head (6) over cabinet (2). Place shredder head on top of cabinet as 
shown in Figure A.
• Firmly push down on four corners of shredder head to “lock” shredder head into position.
• Push basket (3) into shredder cabinet as shown in Figure B. Basket must be pushed firmly, 
so edges of basket/cabinet are aligned properly.
NOTE:
To disassemble, pull out basket, hold cabinet down by placing foot on bottom
shelf, and firmly pull up on shredder head.
Operation
For convenience, your shredder is equipped with an 
means that when the control switch (5) is in the automatic [I] position, the shredder will 
start running when paper is fed into it. The shredder stops a few seconds after the paper 
has passed through. Because the sensor cannot tell the difference between paper and 
other objects, this feature can be a hazard, especially to children and pets. To avoid 
accidents, turn off the shredder as soon as you are finished. Unplug shredder if it will 
not be used for an extended period.
To shred
• Plug in shredder with control switch (5) in off [O] position 
• Press control switch to automatic [I] position; cutting cylinders will run for 1-2 seconds to 
signal readiness and green light (4) will turn on.
PAPER
• Feed paper straight into entry (1), until the shredder automatically begins shredding; see 
Product Profile for limits on paper width, shreddable items, sheet capacity, etc. 
• Shred for no more than 20 minutes; shredding longer will cause shredder to turn itself off 
for 30 minutes to cool down.
• Press control switch to off [O] position after cutting has stopped. With confetti-cut shredder, cutting continues for several seconds after paper has gone through in order to clear 
shredded paper from cutting cylinders.
CDs and DVDs
• Hold CD or DVD at the edge and feed one at a time, straight into CD entry (10), 
releasing when shredding begins. Shredder will stop when CD has passed through 
entry. CDs will be shredded into small particles.
CAUTION: Do not hold CD or DVD with finger through the center ring while feeding 
into shredder.
In case of a
