•
cessible.
Always turn the shredder off and unplug the power cord from
•
the AC outlet before cleaning it, moving it, or emptying the
waste basket.
Never let the wastebasket become full. This will lead to shred-
•
ded material being pulled back up into the shredder and cause
jams.
Never place the shredder near water or any heat source.
•
Keep wastebasket emptied so that the shredder output is not
•
impeded.
Do not use the shredder if the power cord is damaged in any

•
expose you to sharp cutting blades and/or electricity and will
void the manufacturer’s warranty.
Never try to clean or clear the shredder blade.
•
Never shred beyond the specified sheet capacity. May result in
•
extensive damage to the machine.

shredding capacity.
InStAllAtIon
Mount the shredder securely to the rim of the waste basket.
A socket-outlet should be near the equipment and be easily acces-
sible.
FIGURE 1
AttEntIon:
This model includes a built-in safety interlock mechanism, which
requires the shredder to be correctly mounted on to the included
wastebasket. Located on the back center of the shredder, next to the
power cord, there is a curved flap-like shape that must FIT OVER THE
OUTSIDE matching ridge of the wastebasket. THE SHREDDER WILL
NOT OPERATE UNLESS IT IS PROPERLY MOUNTED AS PICTURED!
It is not designed to operate with any other wastebaskets. An acti-
vation switch located on the head unit automatically shuts off the
shredder when it is lifted or removed. The supplied wastebasket ac-
tivates this switch, which allows the shredder to be operable. Lining
the wastebasket with a plastic bag will interfere and may keep the
shredder from functioning.
Caution: Crosscut shredders have very sharp exposed blades
on the underside.
Use care when mounting the shredder on the wastebasket.
oPERAtIon
ShredSafe™ technology is an added safety feature incorporated in
this particular model. It is a new technology where the shredder is
able to detect forced entry and automatically cuts the power off,
preventing further shredding.
