OPERATING THE MACHINE:
To start, switch on the unit by operating the mains 
switch (1) (fig. 1). The pilot lamp marked „ready 
for operation“ (5), as well as the red stop-button 
„S“ (3) (fig. 2) will light to indicate that the machine 
is ready for operation.
Press the pushbutton switch „forward“ (2) (fig. 
2). The cutting system and the auxiliary cutters 
are activated.
Due to danger of injury when later 
handling 
the
packaging
pads,
existing metal clips and staples must 
be removed by means of a suitable 
staple remover before cutting into 
packaging pads!
CUTTING CORRUGATED STRIPS 
INTO PACKAGING PADS:
- Feed the pre-cut strips to the special cutting 
system for the production of packaging pads 
through the inlet guide (fig. 5).
- The board is cut into a packaging pad of up
to approx. 425 mm in width depending on the 
working width of the cutting system. Overlong 
strips are automatically cut off. The tape measure 
(11) attached to the inlet guide serves as a guide 
for the required width of the packaging pads 
(fig. 4).
- Remove the finished packaging pads after
processing is complete (fig. 6).
- To switch the machine off press the red stop-
button (3) (fig. 2).
Never feed the shredder with a quantity 
of paper exceeding the maximum indi-
cated in the technical details.
Should the machine be overfed, follow 
the instructions under „AUTOMATIC 
RESPONSE IN CASE OF OVERLOA-
DING“.
OPERATING FUNCTIONS (Figs. 1, 2 and 3):
1 = Mains switch (Emergency-stop) (fig. 1)
 This switch turns the machine either on 
(position „1“) or off (position „0“).
2 = „Cutting system forward“
 pushbutton (fig. 2)
 Pressing this button starts the cutting system. 
Materials can now be fed to the machine.
3 = „Cutting system stop“
 pushbutton (fig. 2)
 Pressing this button switches the machine 
off, thereby halting the cutting system.
4 = „Cutting system reverse“
 pushbutton (fig. 2)
 Pressing this button starts the cutting system 
in reverse.
5 = Pilot lamp (fig. 2)
 a) „ready“
 
Continously lights when the mains switch
(1) is operated.
 b) „motor protection“
 
Flashes when the motor is overloaded.
While the motor is cooling down, the ma-
chine cannot be switched on to „forward“ 
run.
6 = Pilot lamp „materials jam“ (fig. 2)
 Lights when too much material is fed to 
the cutters (see description „AUTOMATIC 
RESPONSE IN CASE OF OVER-LOA-
DING“).
7 = Vario-Speed Plus Key (fig. 2)
 The machine’s cutting speed can be incre-
ased in an infinitely adjustable fashion by 
activating the plus key.
8 = Vario-Speed Minus Key (fig. 2)
 The machine’s cutting speed can be reduced 
in an infinitely adjustable fashion to allow for 
increased cutting capacity by activating the 
minus key.
9 = Vario-Speed Display (fig. 2)
 Displays the manually selected, current 
speed when the cutting system is running.
If the machine is to be operated 
without a directly connected vacuum 
cleaner 
(see
under
“SPECIAL
ACCESSORIES”), the user must wear 
a dust mask!
When starting up without a vacuum 
cleaner, the dust produced in the 
machine when processing the cartons is 
led out through a separate opening (10) 
(fig. 3) on the rear wall of the housing to 
the outside into the working environment 
of the operator.
AUTOMATIC RESPONSE
IN CASE OF „OVERLOADING“:
In case you accidentally overload the machine, 
it will automatically alleviate the problem as 
follows:
1. The cutting system becomes jammed. The pilot 
lamp (6) (fig. 2) lights up.
2. The cutting system runs briefly in reverse,
thereby freeing the material to be shredded.
3. The cutting system automatically switches back
to forward mode.
This sequence is automatically repeated by the 
machine until all of the material has been proc-
essed into packaging pads.
AUTOMATIC VARIO-SPEED FUNCTION:
The Vario-Speed optimizes the machine power in 
the different working conditions:
- Vario Speed automatically increases the feed rate 
by up to 50% for single-ply corrugated boards 
with minimal wall thickness.
- More power is required at the cutting system
for multi-ply corrugated boards, and the vari-
able speed system reduces the working speed 
automatically in favour of increased power.
MANUAL VARIO-SPEED FUNCTION:
In addition to the automatic variable speed function, 
the operator can also manually select any desired, 
infinitely adjustable working speed:
- Press the vario-speed plus key (7) (fig. 2), in 
order to increase working speed.
- Press the vario-speed minus key (8) (fig. 2), in
order to decrease working speed, and to allow 
for increased cutting capacity.
Current cutting speed is indicated at the vario-
speed display (9) (fig. 2).
