Troubleshooting - Kobra +1 Serie Betriebsanleitung

FEATURES
All models in the series kobra +1 are shredders suitable for destroying single
pages as well as 91/2" computer printouts.
For shredding capacity and features see table on page 10
INSTALLATION
For machines with a detachable plug, use a socket which is easy to access
and located nearby the machine.
Place the head of the machine (1) on the Stand (4).
Fully insert the waste paper bin (2) into the Stand (4).
The machine is ready for use.
To empty the paper bin (2), extract it from the Stand (4), empty out the paper
content and then replace the container in the metal stand.
ATTENTION: If the paper bin is NOT inserted correctly, the machine cannot
function.
The paper bin (2) has a transparent blue window on the front so that at all
times it is possibile to check the level of shredded paper in the bin and so
facilitate emptying.
USE OF THE MACHINE
Once the machine has been plugged in, put the switch (A) in the "FWD"
position. An ENERGY SMART OPTICAL INDICATOR LIGHT (B) will come
on for a few seconds and then, if the machine is not being used, it will go off,
leaving the machine in STAND-BY mode with virtually zero power
consumption.
Now documents can be shredded at any time.
With the switch (A) at "0", all functions are off.
With the switch (A) at "REV" it is possible to interrupt shredding and extract
the document at any time and with any paper.
This function is also possible with the OPTICAL INDICATOR LIGHT (B)
switched off.
SHREDDING SINGLE SHEETS OF PAPER
When sheets of paper are introduced into the throat (D), the OPTICAL
INDICATOR LIGHT (B) comes on (if off) and the machine automatically
begins shredding thanks to two photocells (C) located inside the throat which
detect the passage of the paper and then, after a few seconds, automatically
stop the cutting blades once the shredding is completed
If a quantity of paper which exceeds the shreddng capacity of the machine is
introduced, the machine itself will stop and reverse the rotation of the rollers
for a few seconds and then come to a halt.
Remove the unshredded paper from the throat (D) to free the photocells and
then insert a smaller amount of paper into the throat (D) and the machine will
automatically restart and shred the paper.
It is recommended to limit blockages due to insertion of excessive
quantities of paper and operate the machine below its maximum shredding
capacity in order to prolong the life of the mechanical parts and the
machine itself.
ENERGY SMART Function: about 12 seconds after shredding, the
electronic photocells will put the machine in Energy Saving mode.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you have any problems with your shredder, check the symptoms and solutions below.
If this fails to solve the problem, contact your nearest Kobra dealer.
Do not open the head of the shredder to try to repair it yourself. You could expose yourself to the risk of serious electrical shock and also invalidate your
guarantee.
PROBLEM
The shredder does not start
up.
The shredder never stops .
Notable reduction in
shredding capacity (only
on kobra +1C4).
WHAT YOU SEE
•
The ENERGY SMART Optical
indicator light (B) does not come
on.
•
ENERGY SMART Optical
indicator light (B) comes on.
•
The machine fails to start when
paper is inserted into the throat;
•
Optical Indicator Light (B) is on,
blades operating.
•
Reduced capacity compared
with oiled cutting blades.
The ENERGY SMART OPTICAL INDICATOR LIGHT (B) switches
itself off and reduces power consumption to almost zero.
This function gives an annual energy saving of around 10 kWatt.,
reducing carbon dioxide emissions (the cause of the ozone hole) by
about 65 kg.
As soon as any sheets of paper are inserted into the throat (D), the
photocells (C) will automatically reactivate all machine functions. The
reactivation of machine functions is signalled by the ENERGY SMART
OPTICAL INDICATOR LIGHT (B) coming back on.
AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS
All the models in the series kobra +1 come with the following automatic
functions.
- PHOTOCELLS (C) so the shredder starts up automatically as soon
as any paper is inserted into the throat.
- AUTOMATIC STOP if the paper bin (2) is taken out of the stand (4).
- MOTOR SAVER which stops the shredder if it overheats.
( if the motor saver cuts in, allow the shredder to cool down for at least
10/15 minutes and it will then restart automatically).
ATTENTION. If the motor saver protection mechanism has cut in, the
shredder may not be used even if the OPTICAL INDICATOR LIGHT
(B) is on.
- AUTOMATIC RETURN anti-jamming function if by accident the
amount of paper inserted exceeds the maximum capacity of the model.
The power to the electric motor is switched off, the machine goes into
reverse for a few seconds to free the cutting blades and then it stops.
To resume shredding, unblock the photocells by removing the paper
from the throat and then insert a smaller amount of paper into the
machine.
- ENERGY SMART SYSTEM automatically reduces power
consumption to virtually zero when the machine is in STAND-BY mode
or about 12 seconds after the last automatic shredding cycle.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
kobra +1 shredders do not require any particular care or maintenance.
However, when cutting capacity in the kobra+1 particle shred range
drops notably, it is recommended to lubricate the cutting blade by
shredding a sheet of paper sprinkled with the oil supplied with the
machines.
NEVER use synthetic oil, benezene-based products or aerosol lubricants
of any kind inside the machine or anywhere in the vicinity.
