Introduction
Thank you for choosing this shredder from Rexel. We are sure it will serve
you well, but please take a little time to study these instructions to ensure
you get the best out of your machine.
Mercury Anti-Jam Technology
Mercury shredders will only shred stacks of paper that are within the
shredder's sheet capacity. Eg. A shredder with a capacity between 20 and
22 sheets will not allow the shredding of more sheets than this.
Sensors in the paper feed area measure the thickness of paper about to
be shredded. The ability to shred or not is communicated through red and
green lighting. Green means that the stack of paper is within the shredders
sheet capacity and OK to shred. Red means that you have too much paper,
remove some sheets in order to shred.
Given that you are unable to shred more sheets of paper than the shredder
is capable of shredding, paper jams are prevented.
This prevents time wasted through reversing paper and unblocking jams not
to mention the mess it can create.
IMPORTANT! Do not attempt to shred more paper while paper is already
being shredded. By attempting to force paper down the front or back of
a batch of paper that is being pulled into the machine, you can jam the
shredder. The anti-jam technology will work reliably if used as instructed.

Safety First
Shredders are safe to use as long as you take a few safety precautions.
• Ensure the machine is plugged into an easily accessible power outlet, and
ensure the cable is not likely to trip up a passer by.
• Any attempt to repair this unit by unqualified personnel will invalidate the
warranty. Please return to supplier.
• Unplug your shredder before moving it or when it is not in use for an
extended period of time.
• Do not operate with a damaged power supply cord or plug, after it
malfunctions, or after it has been damaged in any manner.
• Do not overload electrical outlets beyond capacity as this can result in fire
or electrical shock.
• The socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and shall be
easily accessible.
• Do not alter the attachment plug. The plug is configured for the
appropriate electrical supply.
• Do not use near water.
• Do not use aerosol dusters or cleaners.
• Do NOT spray anything into the shredder.

Additional Guarantee
ACCO Brands guarantees the cutting blades of the shredder to be free from
defects in material and workmanship for 5 years from the date of purchase
