Set-Up
For safety reasons, this model will operate only if the shredder head (6) is in the correct
position on the cabinet (2) and used with supplied basket (3).
• Position shredder head over cabinet. Place shredder head on top of cabinet as shown in
Figure A.
• Firmly push down on four corners of shredder head to "lock" shredder head into position.
• Push basket into shredder cabinet as shown in Figure B.
Note: To disassemble, pull out basket, hold cabinet down by placing foot on bottom shelf,
and firmly pull up on shredder head.
Operation
For convenience, your shredder is equipped with an automatic-start sensor (8). This
means that when the control switch (9) is in the automatic [I] position, the shredder will
start running when you put paper into it and stop a few seconds after the paper has
passed through. Because the sensor cannot tell the difference between paper and other
objects, this feature can also be a hazard, especially to children and pets. To avoid acci-
dents, turn off the shredder as soon as you are finished. Unplug shredder if it will not be
used for an extended period.
To shred
• Press control switch (9) to automatic [I] position. Green ready light (4) should turn on.
PAPER
• Feed paper straight into entry (1), releasing when shredder begins shredding; see Product
Profile for limits on paper width, shreddable items, sheet capacity, etc.
• Shred no more than 20 minutes; shredding longer will cause shredder to turn itself off for
40 minutes to cool down.
• Press control switch to off [O] position after cutting has stopped.
CDs, or DVDs
• Slide safety cover (12) to the front to expose the CD entry (11).
• Hold CD or DVD at the edge and feed one at a time, straight into entry (11) releasing
when shredding begins. Shredder will stop when item has passed through entry. CDs and
DVDs will be shredded into small particles.
• Slide cover (12) to the back when done shredding media.
CAUTION: Do not hold CD or DVD with finger through the center ring while feeding into
shredder.
In case of a paper jam, which may occur if the shredder is pushed beyond its specified
capabilities, press the control switch to the off [O] position and empty the basket if full.
Then:
1) Press and hold control switch in reverse [R] position and attempt to back paper out of
shredder.
2) If shredder jams in reverse mode, press control switch to automatic [I] position and
attempt to continue shredding operation.
3) If shredder jams again, alternate control switch slowly between reverse [R] and automat-
ic [I] positions to attempt to move jammed paper completely through shredder.
If you are unable to clear the jam using this method, turn off and unplug the shredder;
remove the wastebasket from cabinet and carefully remove any paper extending below the
cutting cylinders; empty the wastebasket; insert wastebasket and repeat jam clearing pro-
cedure.

other than rated voltage may reduce sheet capacity.
