ROYAL HG140MX PAPER SHREDDER

Setup:

1.

Make sure that the wastebasket is completely inserted into the shredder cabinet
and that it fits flush with the shredder cabinet.

2.

Plug the power cord into any standard 115-volt AC outlet.

3.

 Depress the 

ON/OFF 

( )

 button.  The

 READY 

LED should light up.  You are now

ready to start shredding.

Operating the shredder:

With the electrical cord plugged in, the 

ON/OFF 

( )

 

button depressed and the shredder

wastebasket properly in place, the LED will light up.   This means the shredder is
now ready for operation.  When paper is inserted into the feed opening, the shredding
process will start automatically and stop when the paper has completed its travel
through the feed opening.  The 

ON/OFF 

( )

 button is located on the top of the shredder.

Also located on top of the shredder is the 

LED

,

 REVERSE 

(

) and 

FORWARD 

(

)

button.  Their purposes are:

1.

When the 

ON/OFF 

( )

 button is pressed, the shredding process will start when

paper is inserted into the feed opening and will continue until it has passed through
the feed opening.

2.

The 

REVERSE 

(

<<

)

 

button is used to assist in the removal of a paper jam, which

reverses the shredding process prior to a completed forward cycle, thus clearing
the cutters.  When switching from 

REVERSE 

(

<<

) to 

FORWARD 

(

>>

), always 

allow the motor to stop to prevent possible damage to the motor.

3.

The 

OFF 

( )

 position is used to terminate the AC power to the shredder.   It is 

recommended to turn the shredder off when the shredder is not being used for 
a prolonged period of time.

4.

When the ready 

READY

 LED is lit up it lets the user know that the wastebasket

is inserted correctly and that the shredder is turned on and ready for use.  If the
LED does not light up, make sure that the plug is plugged in, the basket is inserted
correctly and the 

ON/OFF 

( )

 is depressed.

Shredder capacity:

The ROYAL HG140MX will shred up to fourteen (14) sheets of 20-lb. bond paper and will
accept paper widths up to 8 5/8 inch (220mm).  When shredding small material like envelopes,
receipts or a credit card insert them in the middle of the feed opening.  Never place or attempt
to shred CDs or DVDs in the paper feed opening. The paper feed opening is designed to
shred paper only. CDs and DVDs should be placed in the slotted opening marked for CDs.

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 the shredder turned off or unplugged when not in use for prolonged

periods of time.

3. Remove all paper clips from paper before shredding.   The ROYAL HG140MX

will cut staples and credit cards; however, proper discretion is recommended.

4. Do not place hands or fingers into the shredder throat as serious injury 

could result.

5. When manually changing feed direction, pause long enough for the motor

to stop.

6. Always turn off or unplug the shredder prior to moving, cleaning or 

emptying the wastebasket.

7. Empty the wastebasket frequently to avoid possible paper jams caused 

by shredded material being pulled back into the cutter assembly.

8. Never allow children to shred or play with paper shredder or else serious

injury could occur

Paper jams and motor overload situations:

The ROYAL HG140MX is equipped with an automatic motor overload protection circuit.
The HG140MX will automatically terminate power in case of the following abnormal
situations:

1.

Operating the shredder at the maximum 14-sheet capacity continuously for a 
prolonged period of time. 

2.

Exceeding the shredding capacity, eg. Inserting more than fourteen (14) sheets of
20-lbs. paper in one pass, or if the paper is not fed squarely into the feed opening.

Both abnormal operations may result in the activation of the automatic thermal motor
overload protection circuit, which terminates the power to the shredder.  A 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 with the AC power
turned on.  If this occurs you should:

In case of a minor paper jam and the OVERLOAD LED will Light.

1.

Grasp the excess paper from the top and pull it out as you depress the 

REVERSE

(

<<

) button.  Be careful not to place your fingers near the feed opening or else 

serious harm could result.

2.

Make sure that all of the excess paper has been removed from the feed opening.

3.

You are now ready to resume normal shredding.

In case of a major paper jam and the OVERHEAT LED will Light.

1.

Turn off or unplug the power cord from the AC outlet and wait approximately 
30 minutes for the thermal overload protection to reset.

2.

Plug in the AC power cord and depress the 

ON/OFF

 

( )

 

button.  If paper was 

left inside the feed opening prior to the overload, press the 

REVERSE 

(

>>

position and grasp the excess paper from the top and pull it out.  Be careful not
to place your fingers near the feed opening or serious harm could result. Clear
any excess paper shreds from the feed opening.

3.

You are now ready to resume normal shredding.
