Danger of injury

Do not reach into the paper feed
opening.

Splinters can cause injury

Before destroying credit cards and
store cards, CD-ROMs or fl oppy disks,
you must fi t a splinter guard (strip
curtain, order no. 1.513.050.445).

Danger of injury during intake

Do not go near the paper feed open­ing with long hair, loose clothing, ties,
scarves, necklaces, bracelets etc.
Do not destroy any material which
might become tangled, such as tapes,
binder ties or foil.

Switch off the shredder and pull
out the power plug

before moving or cleaning the shred­der, or any other task outside its
normal scope of use.

Maintenance and service tasks may
only be performed by HSM customer
service and service engineers of our
dealers.

1. Proper use, warranty

The shredder is exclusively designed for destroying
paper and cardboard, as well as store cards, credit cards,
CD-ROMs and fl oppy disks. Its sturdy drive mechanism is
not damaged by paper clips and staples.

Our general business conditions are applicable. We pro­vide a one year warranty for the document shredder. The
warranty period is 6 months when used in multiple shifts.
This warranty excludes wear, damage due to improper
handling, natural depreciation, and actions taken by third
parties.

2. Safety instructions

Caution:

It is prohibited to operate one only machine
of a combination-version machine. Only
the combination of document shredder and
HSM baling press fulfi ls the requirements of
EN 294 (Safety clearances).

• Read the operating manual before starting up the
shredder.

• Do not remove or modify safety devices which guar­antee the safe operation of the machine.

• Observe all safety instructions attached to the ma­chine.

• The shredder may not be operated by anyone under
16 years of age.

• Only open the front door once the machine has come
to a standstill.

• Carry out inspection and maintenance regularly.

• Switch off the shredder, disconnect the power plug
and call customer service in the following circum­stances:

- Power cables or plugs are damaged

- Liquid has entered the shredder

- The shredder has been exposed to rain

- The machine does not work properly despite the
operating manual having been observed

- The shredder has been damaged

5. Transportation, installation

• Place the shredder in its packaging on a smooth, level
surface.

• Remove the packaging.

• If you need to move the shredder through narrow
doors, you can wait until it is at its fi nal location before
fi tting the loading tray. Without the tray, the machine is
only 805 mm wide.

• When moving the shredder, note that it may topple
over.

• The shredder can be moved on its rollers.
If using a forklift to transport a Solo machine, you
must fi rst remove the waste trolley. Then you can
push the forks under the machine from the left or right
side and lift it up.

• The shredder may only be placed in dry rooms on a
hard, level fl oor – not on carpets. The fl oor load on
each roller is approximately 107 kg.

• Place the machine in such a way that the power plug
is easily accessible and the ventilation slots are free.

• Solo machine:

- Lock the front castors by pressing down the brake
lever.

- Connect the power plug of the shredder to the 32A
CEE mains socket.

• Combination version:

- Push the shredder up to the baling press until the
press and the outlet chute of the shredder touch.

- Bolt the shredder and the baling press together.

- Lock the front castors by pressing down the brake
lever.

- Connect the power plug of the shredder to the com­bination socket of the baling press.

• The machine must be connected to a power source
which meets the specifi cations on the nameplate.

• Make sure the power cable is unobstructed and that
nobody can tread on it.

• No platforms or other raised surfaces may be placed
near the shredder if they encroach on the specifi ed
safety clearances.

• Fitting the loading tray:
Fasten the tray on both sides at the top with the Phil­lips screws (1) and at the bottom with the 2 nuts (2).

working order. If any defect arises during
operation stop the machine immediately and
make sure it is corrected.

Checking the emergency stop button

Press the emergency stop button
while the machine is running.
The shredder must switch off immedi­ately. The cutting block and the feed

Note:
Do not tighten the chain too much, as this
will cause premature wear on the chain and
bearings.

9. Maintenance and care

Cleaning the cutting block
Strip cut machines: (1 x daily)

• Switch off the shredder.

• Squirt special cutting apparatus oil through
the paper feed opening onto the blade roll­ers.
Order no. 1.235.997.401 for a 250 ml bottle
Order no. 1.235.997.500 for 5 litre con­tainer

• Let the cutting apparatus run forwards and
backwards several times without feeding
in any paper.
 This loosens paper dust and particles.

Cross cut machines:

If the cutting quality de­teriorates or the machine
becomes noisy:

• Let the shredder run without
feeding in any paper.

• Push the lever of the oiler
down several times.

• Make sure the oil level in
the container is between the
MIN and MAX markings.
Order no. 1.235.997.500 for
5 litre container

If you need to tighten the

chain:

• Remove the right cover
panel.

• Loosen the nuts and
push the motor and the
tensioning screws until
the chain sags by
4 – 10 mm.

• Tighten the nuts again.

• Put the cover panels and
the tray back on.

The sag of the chain
should be 4 – 10 mm.

Checking the chain tension (twice yearly)

• Switch off the shredder.

• Pull out the power plug.

• Remove the tray and the left cover panel.

Greasing the drive chains and cogs (twice
yearly)

• Switch off the shredder.

• Pull out the power plug.

• Remove the tray and the cover panels.

• Grease the cogs and the drive chains from
the motor to the cutting apparatus, the cut­ting block to the feed belt and the cutting
block to the regulating roller.
Recommended lubricating grease: K2K in
accordance with DIN 51502/DIN 51825

• Put the side cover panels and the tray
back on.

Tightening the feed belt

The feed belt should not slip when loaded with material.

• Switch off the shredder.

• Loosen the hex nuts
(1) on the left and
right sides of the
snub roller.

• Loosen the lock nuts
(2) of the tensioning
bolts (3).

• Tighten the feed belt
evenly using the
tensioning bolts.

Note:

Only tighten the feed belt until it stops slip­ping. The feed belt bearing may be dam­aged if it is tightened too much.

• Tighten the hex nuts on the snub roller and
the lock nuts on the tensioning bolts again.

You must check that the feed belt runs
straight:

Switch on the shredder and let it run for
10 minutes. During this time, the feed belt
must run in the middle of the snub roller. If it
slips to the left or right edge, you must alter
the setting of the snub roller.

Checking the feed belt for wear

The surface of the feed belt can become worn after long
periods of use. If you can see the fabric inlay in the belt, it
must be replaced. Please notify our customer service.

Cleaning the shredder:

• Switch off the shredder and disconnect the power
plug.

• Only use a soft cloth and mild soapy water for
cleaning. Never use scouring agent, cleaning fl uid,
petroleum or thinners.
