Preparation before use
How to use the shredder correctly:
t Take care not to insert fingers, ties or other objects into the
entry slot of the shredder.
t Try to avoid paper clips, staples, laminating materials, plastic
bags etc. from being passed through the shredder. This will
prevent damage to the cutters.
t Do not shred wet paper as it can tangle in the cutters.
t Do not shred more than 5 pieces of paper in one pass.
t Do not shred more than 200 sheets of paper at a time.
Running the unit for too long may make the motor overheat.
If the motor over heats, allow it to cool down for at least 30
minutes before resuming use.
t Do not use the “REV” (reverse) function if it’s not necessary.
Over use of the “REV” function can result in shredded paper
becoming jammed in the entry slot, which will adversely
affect the performance of the shredder.
t Unplug the product before moving or emptying the shredder
basket.
Safety First
t Please store this instruction manual in a safe place for future
reference.
t Please pay close attention to the safety symbols on the top of
the shredder and operate the machine accordingly.
t If the shredder needs cleaning, unplug the unit from the
power socket and use a damp cloth. NB. Do not use any
cleaning products to clean the unit.
t Do not position the unit near to an object that radiates heat.
t Do not place the unit in a damp environment.
t Take care not to splash any liquid onto the machine.
t Return the product and proof of purchase with receipt to the
store at which it was purchased if…
- The power cable or plug is broken.
- The machine malfunctions because liquid was accidentally
spilt onto the machine.
- The shredder doesn’t operate despite following the
guidelines in the manual.
t Make sure the power cable isn’t a trip hazard.
t Please ensure the power supply is compatible with the
requirements of the machine (220-240V 50Hz).
t To avoid risk of injury, don’t open the machine’s casing to
attempt DIY repair. Any attempted repair by an unqualified
person will invalidate the warranty.

Auto shred and stop
Place the paper or credit card into the centre of the entry
slot - shredding will start automatically (fig 2).
Paper smaller than A4 in width should be placed in the
middle of the entry slot to ensure the shredder works
automatically.
The cutters will stop rotating automatically after finishing
shredding
Don’t shred more than 5 sheets of paper at a time. Do not
attempt to shred more than one credit card at a time.

If too many sheets are inserted at a time, the shredder can
become jammed. If the shredder becomes jammed, switch
the button to REV position to clear the jam by reversing the
paper. If the paper has become so entangled in the cutter
that it can’t be reversed, turn off the power and pull out
the paper by hand. Restart with fewer sheets and feed the
nonshredded end of the paper in first.
CAUTION: Don’t let the machine operate
continuously for more than 2 minutes. When
the motor has overheated, the thermal safety
switch will start working automatically. If the
thermal switch trips, do not use the machine
for about 30 minutes while the thermal
sensitive safety switch cools down so the
shredder can be safely used again.
CAUTION:
t
Never insert fingers into the entry slot of the
shredder.
t Turn the power off immediately if your hair,
tie or sleeve becomes entangled in the
shredder.
t The shredder bin must be fully pushed closed
for the machine to operate.
t Empty the shredder bin when it is full
otherwise the shredder’s performance will be
adversely affected. Operating the shredder
with a full shredder bin can result in paper
jamming in the cutters, which will increase
the machine’s noise level.
t Don’t force down shredder paper in the bin
using your feet.
If the paper shredder will not start, please check the following:
Is the machine plugged in correctly?
Is the switch pushed to the ‘ON/AUTO’ mode?
Is the machine jammed with paper?

Has the motor overheated?
In case of jammed paper, please follow the procedure below:
Check if the basket is too full with paper - the basket should
be emptied regularly to avoid paper becoming jammed in
the cutters.
Slide the switch to ‘REV’ position to reverse the jammed
paper.
If the paper is so jammed that it will not come out in
reverse function, slowly push the switch between ‘REV’ and
ON/AUTO. Don’t do this too quickly as this can damage the
shredder.
WARNING – Do not under any circumstances use any metal
objects (scissors, letter openers etc.) in an attempt to clear
the entry – this model has mains voltage inside the casing,
which could cause serious injury.
This machine does not require lubricant. ACCO Brands accepts no liability for product performance or safety should any lubricant be
used on any part(s) of this machine.
