Set-Up
This shredder will only operate when used with the supplied basket. The supplied basket
has a built-in safety feature which prevents the shredder from operating if used with any
other basket or if improperly assembled.
• Position shredder head (6) over cabinet (2). Place shredder head on top of cabinet as
shown in Figure A.
• Firmly push down on four corners of shredder head to “lock” shredder head into position.
• Push basket (3) into shredder cabinet as shown in Figure B. Basket must be pushed firmly,
so edges of basket/cabinet are aligned properly.
NOTE:
To disassemble, pull out basket, hold cabinet down by placing foot on bottom
shelf, and firmly pull up on shredder head.
Operation
For convenience, your shredder is equipped with an
automatic-start sensor (8)
. This
means that when the control switch (5) is in the automatic [I] position, the shredder will
start running when paper is fed into it. The shredder stops a few seconds after the paper
has passed through. Because the sensor cannot tell the difference between paper and
other objects, this feature can be a hazard, especially to children and pets. To avoid
accidents, turn off the shredder as soon as you are finished. Unplug shredder if it will
not be used for an extended period.
To shred
• Plug in shredder with control switch (5) in off [O] position
• Press control switch to automatic [I] position; cutting cylinders will run for 1-2 seconds to
signal readiness and green light (4) will turn on.
PAPER
• Feed paper straight into entry (1), until the shredder automatically begins shredding; see
Product Profile
for limits on paper width, shreddable items, sheet capacity, etc.
• Shred for no more than 20 minutes; shredding longer will cause shredder to turn itself off
for 30 minutes to cool down.
• Press control switch to off [O] position after cutting has stopped. With confetti-cut shred-
der, cutting continues for several seconds after paper has gone through in order to clear
shredded paper from cutting cylinders.
CDs and DVDs
• Hold CD or DVD at the edge and feed one at a time, straight into CD entry (10),
releasing when shredding begins. Shredder will stop when CD has passed through
entry. CDs will be shredded into small particles.
CAUTION:
Do not hold CD or DVD with finger through the center ring while feeding
into shredder.
In case of a
paper jam
, which may occur if the sheet capacity is exceeded or if paper is
not put in straight, turn off and empty the basket if full. Then:
1) Press and hold control switch in reverse [R] position and attempt to back paper out of
shredder.
2) If shredder jams in reverse mode, press control switch to automatic [I] position and
attempt to continue shredding operation.
3) If shredder jams again, alternate control switch slowly between reverse [R] and auto-
matic [I] positions to attempt to move jammed paper completely through shredder.
If you are unable to clear the jam using this method, turn off and unplug the shredder;
remove wastebasket from the cabinet and carefully remove any paper extending below
the cutting cylinders; insert wastebasket and repeat jam clearing procedure.
