Reverse Function
1 Should you wish to reverse the shredding direction whilst shredding a
document, a reverse button (d) has been fitted for your convenience.
2 By pressing the reverse button the shredding cutters will change
direction allowing the retrieval of the document being shredded. The
anti-jam indicator will turn to red.
3 The reverse function will only run whilst the button is being pressed.
When the reverse button has been released the shredder will revert to
stand by mode.
CD and Credit Card Shredding
The Mercury models can also shred CD’s and Credit Cards.
1 Switch shredder to auto mode and place credit card into the centre of
the marking for the credit card on the feed chute
2 Switch the shredder to auto mode and place CD into the centre of the
CD Slot, this will activate the shredder as before.
Only 1 CD can be shred at a time.
Rare Occasions of Jamming
In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, use the reverse function to
unblock the shredder. (see Reverse function section)
Alternating between the reverse function and the forward run will help
unblock the feed area. To trigger the permanent forward run mechanism,
press Auto/On button down for 2 seconds.
Once the jam is clear, press the right hand auto button once to revert back
to auto mode. You can now resume shredding as normal.
Bin Full
When the bin is full the shredder will not function and the bin full symbol will
illuminate red.
When this happens you must empty the bin.
• Pull out the bin to empty
If the bin is not relocated correctly, the anti-jam indicator will continue to
glow red. Once relocated correctly the anti-jam indicator will return to green.
Over Heating
If the shredder is used continuously for long periods of time the shredder
may overheat. If this occurs the thermometer symbol on the indicator panel
will flash blue.
When the shredder is ready to be used again the thermometer will stop
flashing and the anti-jam indicator will flash green once again. To resume
shredding press the auto button.

Safety First
Operation
1 Connect shredder to mains supply
2 Ensure the on/off button on the back of the machine is in the on position
(g).
3 To commence shredding, press the central Auto button (b). This will
illuminate the Anti-jam indicator. This sets the shredder into auto mode
and initiates the Mercury Anti-jam mechanism. The standby symbol will
illuminate blue and the Anti-jam indicator will glow green. You are now
able to shred.
4 Insert paper to be shredded into the feed area. The Mercury anti jam
mechanism will sense the thickness of the paper being shredded.
Make sure the paper to be inserted is neatly stacked. Splayed sheets
can affect the operation of the anti-jam mechanism.
If the paper thickness is within the shredders capacity, the motor will
start and your documents will be shredded. Cutters will stop once the
shredding process is complete.
If the paper thickness is greater than the shredders sheet capacity the
anti-jam indicator will turn from green to red and the motor will not run.
5 If this happens, remove some of the sheets from the paper stack and
re-try until the anti-jam indicator reverts back to green, the shredder will
then automatically start and allow the paper to be shredded.
If the shredder is left in auto mode for more than 2 minutes without
being used, the shredder will automatically switch off in order to save
power.
