Operation
Important
• Keep long hair, ties, scarves, loose clothing, long necklaces or bracelets away from the input slot.
• Do not shred labels or items with labels affixed to them. Adhesive residue will attach to cutting
blades causing the shredder to malfunction.
• Do not touch the blades of the cutting unit!
• Continuously running the shredder for 3 minutes can cause the motor to overheat and trigger
overheat protection. See section "d) Overheat protection".
a) Setting up
1. Place the trash can on an even horizontal surface.
2. Place the shredder head onto the trash can. Check that the shredder head is aligned with the notches
on the trash can and sits flush against it.
3. Prepare material for shredding by removing labels, paper clips, staples, or any other foreign objects.
b) Shredding
1. Check that the switch is in the OFF position.
2. Connect the product to the power supply.

c) Clearing paper jams
Important
• Always disconnect the shredder from the power supply before attempting to manually remove
blocked paper.
• Never use objects of any kind to clear jammed paper or credit cards.
• Overloading the shredder, damp paper or improper alignment can cause the shredder to jam.
1. Slide the switch to REV to back the paper out of the unit. If the jammed paper is still stuck, slide the
switch to FWD.
2. If paper will not clear using this method:
- Switch the power OFF.
- Disconnect the shredder from the power supply.
- Manually remove any stuck paper by pulling it out.
d) Overheat protection
1. Continuously running the shredder for 3 minutes can cause the motor to overheat and trigger overheat
protection. The power indicator lights up red. The power will be cut off to allow the shredder to cool down.
2. Switch the power OFF and let it cool for approximately 60 minutes, then try the shredder again.
