Features a CD/DVD destroyer:
1) Hold the CD/DVD by the edge and feed one at a time,
releasing when shredding begins.
2) Shredder will stop when the entire disc has been destroyed.
The shredder does not work at all.
a) Make sure the shredder is plugged into an outlet which is in good working order.
b) Shredders with pull-out wastebaskets features a safety power cut off upon bin removal.
Make sure the pull-out wastebasket is properly set back into place.
c) In the event that the shredder is run continuously for too long and the motor overheats, a thermal
overload switch will automatically shut the power off. If this happens, move the switch to the off
position for 30 minutes or more before continuing.
The shredder only runs in "Rev" and "Fw" mode.
a) The shredder will not start running until paper, CD/DVD, or credit card is inserted into the appropriate
feed slot. It is normal for the motor to run for a moment after the shredder is powered on but it should
stop until paper is inserted. The trigger that activates the shredder is located directly in the center of
the feed slot. If the paper you are inserting is narrow, it may not be hitting the switch. It is possible
that the trigger, which activates the shredder, has become blocked with paper. Insert an index card,
directly in the center of the feed slot, and apply force. This will usually clear any paper blocking the
switch and force the switch closed.
