OPERATION AND USE
ONE FOLDED SHEET OF PAPER EQUATES TO 2 SHEETS OF PAPER.
Heavier paper, humidity or other than rate voltage may reduce capacity.
Using the switch located on the unit, select one of the following settings by sliding
the switch either left or right. (FIGURE 3)
( I ) Auto:
This setting allows the shredder to be automatically started by inserting paper into
the shred opening. Always feed the paper in as straight as possible. When the
paper has passed through, the shredder will automatically stop. (FIGURE 3)
( O ) Off:
This setting turns off all features of the shredder. For safety reasons, we recommend
that you leave the shredder in the "Off" position whenever the shredder is unattend-
ed or not in use. (FIGURE 3)
( R ) Rev:
In the unlikely event of a paper jam, the reverse setting can be used to help clear
the cutters of paper that has not passed through. Never attempt to clear a jam by
using the reverse function until you have emptied the wastebasket. (FIGURE 3)
Never shred plastic (except credit cards), any hard materials, continuous
forms, newsprint, or anything with adhesives including labels and envelopes.
While this shredder will shred staples, it is recommended that you remove them
whenever possible in order to extend the life of your shredder.
Only shred credit cards by feeding them vertically within the designated area.
Never feed more than one credit card at a time. Do not activate reverse func-
tion while shredding credit cards.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
We recommend you oil your shredder once a month with vegetable or cooking oil
(nothing petroleum based). Drizzle some oil on a few pieces of paper and feed
those pages through the shredder. Do not spray or keep any aerosol products in
or around shredder.
CLEANING:
•
Only clean the shredder by carefully wiping the unit with a dry soft cloth or towel.
•
Do not clean or immerse shredder in water. Having the unit wet may result in
damage or malfunction to the electrical components. If the shredder happens to
get wet, be sure to completely dry the unit immediately with a cloth or towel.
•
Never use anything flammable to clean the shredder. This may result in serious
injury or damage to the product.
CAUTION!
Always be sure that the shredder is unplugged and switched OFF before
cleaning or attempting to store the item.
