13. Storage

Clean the shredder and store it, preferably in its original packaging, when it is not being used.  Keep the 
machine dry and away from heat sources.

14. Disposal

The product packaging is made from recyclable materials. Dispose of this packaging in an environment-friendly 
way. Do not dispose of the shredder, at the end of its useful life, with domestic waste. By law, it must be correctly 
disposed of so that recyclable substances contained in the shredder can be reused, protecting the environment. 
Please contact your local authorities to find out about appropriate facilities near you. Before disposing of it, make 
the shredder unusable. Disconnect the shredder from the mains supply and remove the power cable from the 
machine.  

8.1.  The sliding switch (

Auto, Off, Rev

1

  on the machine has the following functions: 

Auto

 position: The 

machine is ready for use. 
Insert the single CD into the designated inlet slot of the CD cutting unit 

3

 . 

8.2.   The machine has micro-switches: The shredding operation of the cutting unit 

(max. cutting capacity 

8 sheets)

 starts automatically as soon as paper is inserted through the inlet opening 

2

 . The machine 

switches to forward advance and pulls in the material. After the shredding procedure, the machine 
switches off automatically.

8.3.  

Off

 position: The unit is switched off.

8.4.  

Rev

 position: To keep back the remaining paper, you can push the sliding switch 

in position Rev and the cutting unit will push back the material. The paper cutting unit runs backwards.

8.5  

Please note: 

The capacity may not be exceeded, otherwise jamming will occur! 

 

Please note that the thickness of the paper is increased when folded, which would 

 

then exceed the recommended sheet capacity. Reduce the paper amount for rough  

 

fibre paper as well. It is recommended not to allow the paper catch basket to fill 

 

up directly to the cutting unit. This prevents the shredded material from jamming  

 

 

 

the cutting unit. Regularly empty the catch baskets

container Part A.  
b.) Then press Part B along the nodules on the side in the 
designated cutouts on Part A .

11. Notes on care and maintenance

Please note: 

Maintenance work may only be performed when the mains plug is disconnected! So that you can enjoy your 
Paper Shredder for a long time, we recommend regularly removing residues from the cutting unit and apply-
ing special Paper Shredder oil to the cutting unit. This helps to extend the lifetime of the machine.

When too much paper is fed into the cutting unit, a jam occurs. 
Proceed as follows: Push the sliding switch 

1

 in Position 

Rev

The cutting unit runs backwards and pushes the excess paper back out. Reduce the amount of paper and 
switch back to Paper 

Auto.  

The cutting unit now runs forwards again and the remainder is shredded. If the blockage is not eliminated 
through the backwards/forwards advance, disconnect the mains plug and manually remove the remainder 
from the cutting unit.

The motor switches off automatically in case of overload. Disconnect the mains plug from the wall outlet 
and allow the motor to cool down to room temperature. Then reconnect the mains plug into the wall outlet 
and continue operation.

9. Remedying a jam

10. Motor protection

Problem

Cause 

Solution

Machine does not 
work

 

Is the mains plug properly inserted 
in the wall outlet?

Insert the mains plug correctly in the 
wall outlet.

The motor does not start after 
paper was fed?

Insert the paper or the CD into the 
respective inlet slot until it touches the 
sensor in the centre.

Machine no longer 
works after a longer 
period of operati-
on, or stops during 
operation

Was the machine in continuous 
operation for a longer period of 
time? Is the surface of the machine 
warm?

Disconnect the mains plug from the 
wall outlet and allow the motor to cool 
down to room temperature.

Jam

Did you insert more than 8 sheets 
of paper (80g/m²), or more than 
one CD? Was the material fed croo-
kedly into the inlet slot?

Position the sliding switch to 

Rev

 to 

push the paper back. Then switch back 
to 

Auto

 to shred the remaining paper in 

the cutting unit.
