Operating the Shredder:
1. Prepare the paper to be shredded by removing paper clips and any other objects that
may jam in the feed slot. However, please note that the shredder can shred staples,
though for optimal performance, their removal is advised.
2. Only feed 5 sheets of 70g A4 paper at any one time into the Shredder.
3. To start shredding ensure the switch is in the ON/AUTO/ position.
FWD: This switch allows you to clear the Paper jam, together with the REV switch,
which will then allow you to continue your shredding.
ON/AUTO: Act
ivates the auto shred function, the shredder will start automatically when an
item is inserted into the paper feed slot and will stop once the paper has been shredded.
OFF: Please ensure when the shredder is not in use, you switch the Shredder to the off
position, at all times. Always remove the Plug from the mains power socket.
REV
: This switch allows you to clear the Paper jam by reversing the paper back out from the
Shredder if the paper jams before it is fully shredded. It can also be used together with the
FWD switch to clear any paper jammed within the blades.
Safety Switch:
The CC412N is equipped with a motor overload protection device; the normal short duty
cycle for continuous shredding is a maximum capacity of 2 minutes on & 45 minutes off. The
power may terminate automatically in case of the following situations:
1. Operating the shredder at maximum capacity continuously for a prolonged period of
time, e.g. more than 2 minutes without stopping.
2. Exceeding the shredding capacity e.g. inserting more than 5 sheets at one time, or if the
paper is not fed straight into the feed slot.
Both of these operations may result in the activation of the automatic motor overload
protection, which terminates the power to the unit. If this occurs, you should:
1. Move the Switch to the OFF position, then unplug the power cord from the mains power
socket and wait at least 45 minutes for the overload protection to reset. Tear or cut off
any excess paper from the top of the shredder.
2. Plug the power cord back into the mains power socket and place the switch in REV. Pull
the remaining paper out from the cutters. Move the switch to the FWD position to clear
any excess paper than may still be in the Blades.
3. Place the switch back to the ON/AUTO position and ensure that the feed slot is clear,
you are now ready to resume normal shredding.
Please note If the shredder has overheated, it will automatically shut down and will restart
again after 45 minutes.
Clearing the Blades for Paper Jams.
If paper becomes jammed during the shredding, move the switch alternatively between FWD
and REV 2-3 times to clear any paper shreds jammed in the Blades. During this process,
paper may exit the feed slot, this can be removed manually. You must move the switch to the
OFF position first and then unplug form the mains power socket, before manually removing
the paper.
Jammed paper can also be manually removed from the Blades by firstly, moving the switch
to the OFF position, then unplug the power cord from the mains power socket.
Take the Shredder Head off the Waste Bin and turn it over, and remove the jammed Paper
from the Blades. Be VERY CAREFUL when removing the jammed paper as the Blades are
sharp.
Once all the jammed paper has been removed then place the Head back on the Waste Bin
and plug back into the mains power supply. Move the switch to the ON/AUTO position and
shred as normal.
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE SHREDDER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MANUALLY REMOVE
AN ITEM FROM THE PAPER ENTRY SLOT OR BLADES.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, INSERT METAL OBJECTS INTO THE ENTRY
FEED SLOT OR THE BLADES, TO REMOVE THE JAMMED PAPER.
