OPERATION

POWER ON FIGURE 3. Press the button to Power On. The

green light will illuminate when ready to operate.

You are now ready to shred!

NOTE: This shredder is for paper shredding

only. Due to the sensitive cutting mechanism you cannot shred staples, paperclips, PVC etc. (Applies to Model 3890D only).

To shred simply insert paper into the throat of the unit. Once your document has activated the automatic on feature, the unit automatically will start and then will stop once your document is shredded.

CD/DVD To destroy a compact disc or dvd (straight-cut models only), insert the media into the center of the

throat area. Once your media has activated the automatic on switch, the unit will start and then will stop once your media is shredded.

BIN FULL FIGURE 4. In order to prevent shreds from backing

up into the cutters and jamming your shredder, this unit features an automatic bin full shut off. Once the shred bin is full, the unit will shut off automatically and the bin full light (E) will illuminate. You can now compact the shreds and continue shredding, or empty the shred bin.

Note: For safety reasons, whenever the cabinet door has been opened this unit will not operate until the door is closed and the unit is turned off and then back on.

FIGURE 4

DOOR AJAR

Your shredder is equipped with a safety interlock

which will not allow the unit to operate if the cabinet door is open. The Door Ajar light (D) will illuminate if the cabinet door is not fully closed.

OVERLOAD (Reverse)

If too much paper is inserted into the throat of the unit, the shredder will sense an overload and reverse automatically to avoid unnecessary motor heating. To clear the overload, switch the unit to Reverse mode until the paper is clear of the throat area. You can now separate your pages into smaller sets and continue to shred.
