PRODUCT OPERATION

1. Place the shredder on a flat, level surface.

2. Plug the power cable into the wall power outlet.

3. Place the switch in the “AUTO” position.

The switch has three settings:

a) When set to “AUTO”, the shredder will automatically begin shredding when paper is inserted into

the feed opening. The shredder will stop automatically once the paper is fully inserted.

b) The “REV” mode is used to assist in the removal of a possible paper jam. The unit will reverse the

shredding process to help clear the jam and clear the paper cutter.

c) The “OFF” position should be selected when emptying the wastebasket or when the shredder is not

in use for a prolonged period of time.

NOTE: This unit shreds 10 sheets at a time. When shredding small items such as envelopes or credit card
receipts, please insert them through the middle of the feed opening.

NOTE: The Overheat LED light will turn on if continuous shredding is longer than 2 minutes. The unit will
stop shredding as a safety precaution to prevent overheating of the shredder motor. You can continue
shredding once the Overheat LED light turns off (40 minutes).
