Operation
1. Press
the
ON/OFF/Stop
button. The button lights up, indicating the machine is ready for
shredding.
2. Load material by using one of the following methods:
WARNING
!
Moving parts can crush and cut fingers.
a. Feed paper into the paper feed slot.
NOTE
For shredding transparent films, the machine must be manually switched to forward running
mode by pressing and holding the
forward
button for approximately two seconds.
NOTE:
To help prevent you from feeding too much material and creating a jam, a visual display
of the motor load is displayed during the paper shredding process. Colored lights over the paper
feed slot indicate the how much the motor is under load:
•
Green light: load < 50%
•
Yellow light: load 50 - 75%
•
Red light: load 75 - 100%
CAUTION:
Do not feed the shredder with more than 15 pages at a time. This will cause
a jam and/or machine overload.
b. Feed data media (CDs/DVDs, etc.)
individually
into the separate CD/DVD feed slot.
CAUTION:
Do not shred paper and CD/DVDs using both slots at the same time. This
will cause a jam and/or machine overload.
4. The machine automatically switches to forward running, drawing the material in and
automatically switching off after shredding. To stop the shredding process, briefly press the
ON/OFF/Stop
button. To continue, press and hold the
forward
button for approximately
two seconds.
5. Material is collected in two different collection bins to ensure that waste is properly separated.
NOTE:
The machine turns off automatically if it is not used after five minutes.
Emptying the Paper Collection Bin
When the paper collection bin becomes full, the paper collection bin full icon lights up and the
machine turns off. To empty:
1. Open the door.
2. Pull out the receptacle from the lower part of the housing and empty the contents.
3. Slide the emptied receptacle back into the lower part of the housing and close the door.
4. If the operation error icon lights up, press the
forward
button briefly. The remaining
material in the feed slot is shredded and the operation error icon light goes out.
NOTE:
The machine will only run if the door is closed.
