Auto-feed Technology

The Stack and Shred 500X has been designed to automatically shred up to 500 sheets from the auto-feed chamber and up to 10 sheets through the manual feed slot. The auto-feed

mechanism has been designed to handle paper fastened with staples and paper clips and to only pull a few sheets of paper into the cutting mechanism to minimize the risk of paper jams.

Loading door lock mechanism

For additional security the paper loading door can be locked

during the shredding of condential material.

To lock shredder:

Place documents in tray. Close paper loading door (see g 2).

Press any 4 digits. REMEMBER YOUR CODE!

Shredder unlocks automatically when:

• 4 digit code is re-entered.

• Shredding is complete.

• Shredder is inactive for 30 minutes (but documents remain in tray)

Bin or Loading Door Open Safety Function

As a safety precaution, if the bin or loading door is opened during shredding, the shredder will stop and the Bin Full

indicator will illuminate.

Jam Free Technology in manual feed slot

Sensors in the paper feed area measure the thickness of paper about to be shredded. The ability to shred or not is communicated through red and green lighting. Green means that the stack of paper is within the shredders sheet capacity

and OK to shred. Red means that you have too much paper,

remove some sheets in order to shred.

Since the shredder is unable to shred more sheets of paper than it is capable of shredding, paper jams are prevented.

Rare Occasions of Jamming

In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, the EX100-07 will automatically reverse and forward the engine three times to clear a jam. If after this auto jam clearance cycle the shredder still has a paper jam, the jam indicator will continue to illuminate . Try clearing the jam using the reverse (F) and continuous jam boost (G) buttons. If this is unsuccessful, open the loading door (I), remove the remaining stack of paper, then pull the jammed paper free of the cutting mechanism.

product performance (see g 10).

The auto-start infra-red sensor, located in the paper feed entry-slot, can occasionally become covered in paper-dust causing the shredder to run despite no paper being fed into the machine. Switch the shredder off at the rear of the machine and carefully clean the sensor using a cotton-swab
