for commercial applications nor outdoors. Improper use poses risk of
accidents.
The sliding switch is located on the top side of the unit and can be set to three (3)
positions.
1. AUTO position: the shredding operation starts automatically as soon as the paper
to be shredded is inserted in the feed slot. After the shredding operation is
complete, the device will automatically deactivate.
2. REV position: rectifying a paper jam. In this case, the direction of the shredding
operation is reversed before the work cycle ends in order to free the shredding
blades. Should you determine that too much paper has been inserted and the
shredding operation slows noticeably, immediately set the switch to this position,
also in the event paper is accidentally inserted.
3. In order to empty the waste basket or in the event the device is not used for a
prolonged period of time, set the switch to OFF and disconnect the device from
the electrical line in order to avoid the risk of injuries.
Capacity of the document shredder:
The 240S shreds up to 6 sheets of paper (DIN A4, 80g). The paper width may
comprise up to 22 cm. When shredding small paper sizes such as letters or credit card
receipts, please insert them into the middle of the shredding slot.
Please ensure that never more than the above-mentioned maximum quantity is
inserted in the shredder. Otherwise the device may sustain damage.
Protection against paper jams and overloading:
The 240S is equipped with a motor overload guard. The normal work cycle for the
shredding operation takes 2 minutes with a maximum load, after which a prolonged
break must be taken. Under the following conditions, the current feed to the unit's
motor is interrupted:
1. Continual operation of the document shredder with maximum capacity for a
prolonged period of time, e.g. longer than 2 minutes without interruption.
2. Overrunning the shredding capacity e.g. adding more than 6 sheets of paper (80g)
in one operation or in the event the paper is not inserted lengthwise into the feed
slot.
Under the above-mentioned conditions, the automatic overload guard of the motor is
triggered, whereupon the current feed to the device is interrupted. In such a case,
please take the following steps:
