Important safety instructions

Warning

: Carefully read this user guide before using the paper shredder.

Warnings

• Keep your fingers away from the feed slot, or they could be 

seriously injured.

• Never run the shredder continuously for more than 3 minutes or 

for more than 50 sheets, or the motor may overheat and 
temporarily turn off the power (to allow the shredder to cool 
down). If this happens, move the switch to the 

off

 position for 30 

minutes (at 86

°F or 

30

°

C) before trying again.

• Keep the shredder out of reach of children and pets.
• Keep jewelry, long hair, and loose clothing (especially sleeves and 

neckties) away from the feed slot. If anything unintentionally gets 
caught in the feed slot, immediately cut off power.

• Crosscut shredders have very sharp, exposed blades on the 

underside, so be careful when mounting the shredder on the 
waste basket.

• Fire danger: Never dispose of flammable chemicals (for example, 

nail polish, acetone, or gasoline) or materials that have come into 
contact with flammable chemicals (such as cleaning rags) in the 
waste basket.

• Always turn off the shredder and unplug the power cord before 

cleaning or moving the shredder, or emptying the waste basket.

• Never place the shredder near water, moisture, or any heat source.
• Keep the waste basket emptied so that the shredder output is not 

blocked.

• Never use any petroleum-based or flammable oils or lubricants in 

or around the shredder, because these substances can combust, 
causing serious injury. Never spray any aerosol-based products in 
or around the shredder.

• Never shred envelopes, labels, or anything with glue or sticky 

substances, or paper jams can result.

• Do not use the shredder if the power cord is damaged in any way.
• Do not try to service this product yourself. Doing so may expose 

you to sharp cutting blades and electrical shock, and will void the 
manufacturer’s warranty.

• Never let the waste basket become full, or the shredder output 

will be blocked, and material will be pulled back up into the 
shredder, causing jams.

• Never shred wet paper.
• Never try to clean or clear the shredder blades.
• Use the REV mode sparingly, because overuse may cause shreds of 

paper to build up in the feed slot and reduce shredding 
performance.
