SETUP
1 Place the shredder securely on top of the wastebasket.
2 Plug the power cord into any standard 220~240-volt AC outlet
3 Press the Power-button. If the shredder head is installed correctly on
the wastebasket, the Ready LED will light up.
4 If the Ready LED does not light up, the shredder head is not sitting
correctly and the shredder will not run.
OPERATing THE SHREDDER
The power slide switch is located on top of the shredder.
The shredder has 4 modes of operation:
1 When slide to AUTO position, the shredding process will start auto-
matically after insertion of paper into the feed opening.
The shredder will stop automatically when the paper has completed its
travel through the feed opening.
2 Slide to OFF position when the shredder is not in use for a prolonged
period of time.
3 Slide to REV position to assist in the removal of a paper jam, which
reverses the shredding process prior to a completed cycle
4 Slide to FWD position to shred CD/DVD and also clear any paper left in
the cutters after completion of a shredding cycle
It is recommended to empty the wastebasket when you see paper
through the basket window
SHREDDER CAPACiTy
The CROSS-CUT 8 will shred up to 8 sheets of standard 80 g A4 paper. When
shredding small material like envelopes, credit cards or receipts, insert them
through the middle of the feed opening. Credit cards should be inserted
one at a time.
When shredding CD/DVD, they should be inserted one at a time into the
designated CD slot only.

SiTUATiOnS
The CROSS-CUT 8 is equipped with a motor overload protection device and
current limiter circuit. The normal short duty cycle for continuous shredding
at maximum capacity is 2 minutes on and 40 minutes off. The power may
terminate automatically in case of the following abnormal situations:1
Operating the shredder at the maximum 8-sheet capacity continuously for
a prolonged period of time, e.g. More than 2 minutes without
stopping.
2 Exceeding the shredding capacity, e.g. Inserting more than 8 sheets of
standard 80 g A4 paper at one pass, or if the paper is not fed squarely
into the feed opening.
Both abnormal operations may result in the activation of the current limiter
circuit or the thermal motor overload protection, which terminates the
power to the shredder. A minor paper jam will terminate the power to the
motor temporarily.The current limiter circuit can be reset immediately by
removing the jam whereas a major paper jam could cause the thermal
motor overload protection to terminate AC power to the motor. Never
allow the shredder to remain in a jammed condition when the AC power
turned on.
If this occurs you should:

CAUTiOnS
1 Keep all loose articles of clothing, ties, jewelry, hair or other small items
away from the feed opening to prevent injury.
2 Keep shredder turned OFF or unplugged when not in use for a
prolonged period of time.
3 Remove all paper clips and staples from paper before shredding . The
CROSS-CUT 8 will cut staples, however this is not recomended.
4 Do not place hands or fingers into the shredder throat as this could
result into serious injuries.
5 Continuous shredding of computer paper should not exceed
2 minutes. If continuous use is required at the maximum sheet capacity
(8 sheets), it is recommended that shredding time should be 2 minutes
on and 40 minutes off to allow a proper cooling of the motor.
6 Always turn off or unplug the shredder prior to moving, cleaning or
emptying the wastebasket.
7 Empty the wastebasket frequently to avoid paper jams caused by
shredding material being pulled back into the cutter assembly.
8 Never allow children to shred or play with paper shredders. Serious
injury could occur!
9 Never spray canned air or any type of spray lubricant into the shredder
while shredder is plugged in as this could result into serious injuries.
10 Never place any lubricants or cleaning solutions in the paper shredder
as this could result into serious injuries.
