Set-Up

For safety reasons, this model will operate only if the shredder head (6) is in the correct
position on the cabinet (2) and used with supplied basket (3).
• Position shredder head over cabinet. Place shredder head on top of cabinet as shown in
Figure A.
• Firmly push down on four corners of shredder head to "lock" shredder head into position.
• Push basket into shredder cabinet as shown in Figure B.
Note: To disassemble, pull out basket, hold cabinet down by placing foot on bottom
shelf, and firmly pull up on shredder head.

Operation

For convenience, your shredder is equipped with an automatic-start sensor (8). This
means that when the control switch (5) is in the automatic [I] position, the shredder will
start running when you put paper into it and stop a few seconds after the paper has
passed through. Because the sensor cannot tell the difference between paper and other
objects, this feature can also be a hazard, especially to children and pets. To avoid acci-
dents, turn off the shredder as soon as you are finished. Unplug shredder if it will not be
used for an extended period.
To shred
• Plug in shredder with control switch (5) in off [O] position.
• Press control switch to automatic [I] position; cutting cylinders will run for 1-2 seconds to
signal readiness and green light (4) will turn on.
• Feed paper straight into entry (1), until the shredder automatically begins shredding; see
Product Profile for limits on paper width, shreddable items, sheet capacity, etc.
• Shred for no more than 20 minutes; shredding longer will cause the overheat light (9) to
go on and the shredder to turn itself off for 30 minutes to cool down.
• Press control switch to off [O] position after shredding has stopped.
In case of a paper jam, which may occur if the shredder is pushed beyond its specified
capabilities, press the control switch to the off [O] position and empty the basket if full.
Then:
1) Press and hold control switch in reverse [R] position and attempt to back paper out of
shredder.
2) If shredder jams in reverse mode, press control switch to automatic [I] position and
attempt to continue shredding operation.
3) If shredder jams again, alternate control switch slowly between reverse [R] and automat-
ic [I] positions to attempt to move jammed paper completely through shredder.
If you are unable to clear the jam using this method, turn off and unplug the shredder;
remove the wastebasket from cabinet and carefully remove any paper extending below the
cutting cylinders; empty the wastebasket; insert wastebasket and repeat jam clearing pro-
cedure.
