Direction Control Knob

Prior to operation, the direction control knob has to be turned to either feeding or
reverse feeding mode. When the control knob is in the centre, it is in the ‘’off ‘’
position (‘O’). When turned counter-clockwise, the shredder is in the feeding mode
(as indicated by

Y

). When turned clockwise, the shredder is in the reverse

feeding mode (as indicated by 

h

Y

motor. It only determines the direction of the rolling cutter head.

If a sudden blockage occurs, material will be 

ejected by reversing cutter head 

1

Motor has power to it; cutter head rotates 

0

Power to motor is cut; cutter head stops turning

On/Off Safety Buttons

Once the direction control knob has been set to the desired mode, turn on the
shredder by pushing the green ‘I’ button. To turn off, push the red ‘O’ button. 

To stop quickly in an emergency simply press the red ‘O’ button.

Internal No Volt Release Switch

The shredder is fitted with an internal no volt release switch. If there is a loss
of power (power cord has accidentally been pulled out etc.) the shredder will
turn off and remain off (for user safety) even when reconnected to the power
supply. To restart the shredder once the power supply has been reconnected,
simply push the green ‘I’ (On) button. 

Note: 

Do not feed material into the shredder when the motor is not running. It

could cause a blockage in the shredder and cause damage to the machine.

Changing Direction of Cutter

To change the direction of feeding, first turn the shredder off and wait until the
rolling cutter head has completely stopped. Then turn the direction control knob
to the desired setting and turn on the shredder.

Auto Reverse

In the event of a sudden blockage, the shredder can automatically change the
direction of the cutter head. This causes the material to be fed back out of the
shredder. If this occurs, switch off the motor, wait until the rolling cutter head has
stopped and then restart the motor. If the blockage re-occurs immediately be
aware that the material you are shredding may not be suitable for shredding or
needs to be fed at a slower rate.
