Operation
Connect shredder to mains supply
Press the central power on button (b). This will switch the power on.
The shredder will now be in standby mode but will not operate until
the button with the green triangle is pressed. While the shredder is in
standby mode, the anti-jam indicator will flash green.
To commence shredding, press the right hand auto feed button (c)
which stops the flashing on the anti-jam indicator. The indicator will now
glow green.
This sets the shredder into auto mode and initiates the Mercury anti jam
mechanism. You are now able to shred.
Insert paper to be shredded into the feed area. The Mercury anti jam
mechanism will sense the thickness of the paper being shredded.
Make sure the paper to be inserted is neatly stacked. Splayed sheets
can affect the operation of the anti-jam mechanism.
If the paper thickness is within the shredders capacity, the motor will
start and your documents will be shredded. Cutters will stop once the
shredding process is complete.
If the paper thickness is greater than the shredders sheet capacity the
anti-jam indicator will turn from green to red and the motor will not run.
If this happens, remove some of the sheets from the paper stack and
re-try until the anti-jam indicator reverts back to green, the shredder will
then automatically start and allow the paper to be shredded.
If the shredder is left in auto mode for more than 5 minutes without
being used, the shredder will automatically switch off in order to save
power.
Credit Cards
Switch shredder to auto mode and place credit card into the centre of the
marking for the credit card on the feed chute.
Reverse Function
Should you wish to reverse the shredding direction whilst shredding a
Reverse
document, a reverse button (d) has been fitted for your convenience.
By pressing the reverse button the shredding cutters will change
direction allowing the retrieval of the document being shredded. The
anti-jam indicator will turn to red.
The reverse function will only run whilst the button is being pressed.
When the reverse button has been released the shredder will revert to
stand by mode.
To turn back to auto mode simply press the right hand auto feed button
again (button with the green triangle).
Rare Occasions of Jamming
In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, use the reverse function to
unblock the shredder. (See reverse function section)
Alternating between the reverse function and the forward run will help
unblock the feed area. To trigger the permanent forward run mechanism,
press Auto/On button (green triangle) down for 2 seconds.
Once the jam is clear, press the right hand auto button once to revert back
to auto mode. You can now resume shredding as normal.
Bin Full
When the bin is full the shredder will not function. Empty or compress the
shredded paper when it reaches the bottom of the viewing window or the
lower row of paper bag viewing holes. This will avoid paper spilling over or
difficulty in removing the bin when it is too full.
• If necessary, use the big handle on the front of the product to slide the
shredder out from under your desk. Use the viewing window to pull out the
bin to empty the shredded paper.
If the bin is not relocated correctly, the anti-jam indicator will continue to
flash red. To resume shredding press the auto button (green triangle).
Shredder Waste Sacks
Please refer to illustrations printed on the paper bag to see how to insert
and remove paper bag.
Insert recyclable paper bag (2102247 [20 pack]) into the shredder bin and
hook in place using the holes punched in the bag and locating points on
the front internal bin face. Once full with paper, unfold the doubled over
bag flaps to make the full bag easy to remove from the bin. Tuck over the
rear flap before folding over the front sealing flap and sealing the bag
closed using the adhesive strip. Most local authorities now accept paper for
recycling please contact your local authority for more information.
Over Heating
If the shredder is used continuously for long periods of time the shredder
may overheat. If this occurs the Anti-jam Indicator will flash orange.
When the shredder is ready to be used again the orange illumination will
stop flashing and the anti-jam indicator will flash green once again. To
resume shredding press the auto button (green triangle).
