SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read the operating manual carefully before starting up the shredder!
- Ensure that the voltage and frequency of the power supply correspond to the data on the rating plate!
Incorrect voltage may result in destruction of the unit!
- The socket must be easily accessible
- Do not open the housing lid! This can cause serious injury like electric shock! The inner parts cannot be maintained.
- Repairs are to be effected by qualified after-sales service staff only, or else the warranty of this machine is no longer
valid. The safety devices must not be removed or manipulated.
INSTALLATION
1. Put the plug in a power socket.
2. This shredder has a built-in safety mechanism that requires the waste bin to be correctly inserted into the shredder.
Lining the waste bin with a plastic bag will interfere with this safety precaution and may keep the shredder from
functioning.
OPERATION
Remove all staples and paper clips! This will extend the shredders life. Max. capacity = 9 sheets at the same
time (80 grams)!
1. Switch the auto/off/rev button to AUTO.
2. The shredder switches and a sheet of paper is fed into feed aperture. It stops once the sheet has passed through.
3. Do not press the REVERSE (REV) button when shredding a Credit Card, otherwise the shredder may be damaged.
The shredder cannot shred paper and a Credit Card at the same time, and can only shred one Credit Card at once.
4. When shredding small material like Credit Cards or receipts, insert them in the middle of the paper feed opening.
WHAT TO DO WHEN A PAPER JAM OCCURS
1. a. If the shredder fails because of a paper jam, emty the bin first and put it back, then press the REV button.
b. Toggle between FORWARD (FWD) and REV if jammed paper is not released by simply pressing REV.
When switching from FWD to REV, always stop momentarily to prevent possible damage to the motor.
2. Remove the rejected paper and feed less sheets into the shredder. Never pull paper out of the shredder, this will
damage the cutters.
3. Should it occur that the shredder does not react to anything then it is very likely that the motor is
overheated. Try the previous steps again after 30 to 40 minutes.
CAUTION !
1. a. This shredder is designed for short operation. If it runs for too long or overheats, the shredder switches off auto-
matically and must be cooling down for several minutes before it is ready to resume operation. 3 minutes on, 20 to
30 minutes off.
b. Do not exceed the maximum cutting capacity!
2. Keep hands and fingers away from the feed opening. Serious injury may result. Be careful with long hair and with
neck-ties, bracelets, and other jewellery.
3. Do not expose the shredder to rain or humidity
4. Do not operate the machine unsupervised
5. Always turn off the shredder by unplugging the machine before moving or cleaning. Cleaning only with a damp cloth!
6. Do not use in the vicinity of inflammable liquids or gasses. Do not use in the vicinity of corrosive materials.
7. Empty the basket and oil the shredder frequently for smooth, trouble free operation.
8. Never allow the shredder to remain in a jammed condition with the power turned on.
9. Do not alter the plug!
NOTE : The shredder is only suitable for shredding paper and Credit Cards (not other materials like
labels, cardboard or plastics)! Never shred envelopes, labels or anything with glue or any sticky substance
as this will lead to paper jams.
