FEATURES
Congratulations on purchasing an auto-feeder KOBRA

The KOBRA AF.2 COMPACTOR model is also equipped
with an automatic paper compacting system which
reduces the volume of shredded paper, increasing by
4 times the collection bag capacity.
INSTALLATION (FIG.1)

situated near to the machine. Take the machine out of
its packaging, position the machine head (A) on the
base (B). Open the door (C), slide the bag holder frame
(D) from its tracks (E).
Fit the plastic bag (F) which comes with the machine
onto the bag holder frame (D) and slide it back onto its
tracks (E). Push the frame right in and close the door
again.
OPERATING THE MACHINE (FIG.2)
Once the shredder has been plugged in, turn the switch
(H) to the "I" position. The light (G) will come on for a
few seconds and the machine will start a shred cycle.
If no documents to be shredded have been inserted
into the machine it will automatically go on stand-by.
Now it is possible to shred documents at any time.
With the switch (H) in the "O" position, all functions are
switched off.
By putting the button (H) in the "R" position at any

MANUAL SHREDDING OF SINGLE SHEETS
Insert sheets in the throat (L) and the light indicator
(G) comes on and the machine starts shredding
automatically as two photocells inside the throat
detect the presence of paper and automatically stop
the shredding knives a few seconds after shredding
has finished.
If you insert a greater quantity of paper than the
shredding capacity, the machine will automatically go
into reverse and eject the excess paper.
Take the excess paper out of the throat in order to free
the photocells then insert a smaller amount of paper
and the machine will automatically restart and finish
shredding with a shred cycle.
It is advisable to limit jams caused by introducing
too much paper and to operate the machine below
maximum capacity in order to prolong the life of
mechanical parts and the life of the machine itself.
AUTOMATIC PAPER SHREDDING (FIG.3)
Open the top cover of the paper feeder tray as shown
in figure 3.. Insert a maximum of 300 sheets of A4 paper
in the feeder tray and in any case ensure they are not
higher than the maximum load mark (A). Close the top
cover, the machine automatically starts shredding and
automatically stops when shredding is finished.
IMPORTANT:
The automatic function can be used for bound blocks
up to a maximum of 25 sheets. Provided the type of
