When too much paper is inserted, the cutter stops operating and
automatically rotates in reverse to discharge the jammed paper.
An alarm sounds. Reduce the amount of paper and restart the operation.

Door Switch

If the door is open, the shredder will not operate.

Automatic Stop

When the shredded paper lls the wastebasket, the “FULL” light
comes on and the cutter stops operation. Open the door, remove the
wastebasket and empty paper scraps. Replace the wastebasket, close
the door and continue operation.

Set-up Guidelines

1. Install the shredder on a level surface, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.

2. Insert plug into wall outlet with the appropriate voltage, 110V. If the outlet is shared
with another electronic device, the total current should not exceed 30A (at 110V).

Operation

1. Flip the power switch “ON” located on the right side of the shredder.

2. Auto Start/Auto Stop
When the “START” button is pushed, the signal lamp “AUTO” will light.
Insert paper to shred. The shredder will start and stop automatically
when using this function.

3. Manual Operation
If paper is too small for the shredder’s sensors to detect, shred it
manually. Push the “START” button once more and the “MANUAL”
lamp will light. Insert paper to be shredded. Three minutes after
shredding, the cutter automatically stops rotating.

4. Reverse Operation
Push the “REV” button and the signal lamp “REV” will light and cutters
will operate in reverse. If too much paper is inserted at one time in
standard modes, the shredder will automatically operate in reverse. If
this occurs, remove the inserted paper and shred in smaller amounts.
NOTE: The maximum amount of paper to be shredded differs
according to paper quality, humidity and voltage. If the shredder is to
be used continuously, do not insert more than half of the maximum
capacity.

Safety Precautions

To avoid personal injury, and damage to the shredder, observe the following safety
precautions. Please keep these instructions for future reference.

NOTE: In case of emergency, ip the “Power Switch”
to cut off power and/or pull the plug out of the wall
outlet.

• Keep hands, long hair, clothing, ties, jewelry and loose
items away from the feed opening and shred outlet.

• Do not use the shredder for anything other than its
intended purpose. Never use it to shred cloth, plastic,
cardboard or any hard material that will cause damage to the shredder blades.

• Do not allow children to use the machine.

• Do not operate with a damaged power cord or plug, or when the machine is

damaged in any manner.

• Unplug the shredder when it is being moved, or if it is not in use for an extended
period of time.

• Do not disconnect the power by pulling only the cord. Hold the plug when
disconnecting.
