PREFACE
SERVICE PREPARATION
This manual provides the instructions for the replacement of all the components that
may become worn or damaged during normal usage of the machine.
“Illustrated Parts Lists”
replacement part numbers with supporting
diagrams to show the location of the components.
“Service Instructions”
servicing procedure with supporting
pictorial diagrams for added clarity
WARNING
1. Check the machine RATING PLATE DETAILS are compatible with the electrical
mains supply.
2. Disconnect the electrical mains supply before removing any covers.
3. The machine MUST have a sound Electrical Earth Connection.
NOTE: THE ELECTRIC MOTOR IS PROTECTED BY AN AUTOMATIC
THERMAL OVERLOAD CUT-OUT
Product Testing after Servicing or Repair.
IMPORTANT. If any electrical component has been changed, an electrical connection
broken and remade, or any wiring disturbed, the product being repaired or serviced
must be flash tested or PAT tested. This test must be carried before a product is
handed back or returned to the customer or returned to stock. The test must be
appropriate for the machine being repaired. E.g. double insulated or earthed. A
competent person should conduct the test and keep a log of all machines tested, the
serial number of the machine, the details of the test, the test results and th e date the
test was carried out.
- For each machine give full details of the
- For each machine give the recommended

DESCRIPTION
A range of straight and crosscut shredders using either built up or solid
shafts.
ANTI JAM FEATURE
All models include an anti jam feature if documents above a set thickness
are fed into the infeed slot. The documents will not have entered the
cutters. The thickness is equal to the nominal sheet capacity of 70gsm
paper. The documents can then be easily removed from the machine and
sheets removed. The device will also stop the machine if an increase in
document thickness is detected while shredding again allowing easy
removal of the access sheets before they enter the cutters.
The document thickness is measured by a trigger coupled to an accurate
measuring sensor.
A pair of rollers and servo operated pressure pads are incorporated to
prevent movement of the paper, passing through the cutters, generating
false signals.
It is possible to reverse the machine if necessary.
